I’m aware of evil plans aimed at me. Well, I’ve made my humble contribution. I hope this country traces its soul. I hope a time comes when we ask ourselves: Is this the best we can be? I leave now, but: SILENCE ALL ALARM BIRDS, SNAKES WILL COME IN SILENCE. It was a pleasure.

Gen. MK is a very organised man. I give it to him. The points were roughly 4, that is: I) Observing protocol II) Thanking for invitation III) Commenting on Kyabazinga’s character IV) Giving gift. He had about 4 papers, perhaps one per point. I was very impressed.

Sad he died like that! It’s not easy to grieve him, but I do. He celebrated the killing & torture of others. But I still want to think that he was a hungry man not so reflective on how far the search for ‘food’ should go. He should’ve lived to know that violence is unsustainable
