  1. TOO MANY PRAYERS, WHY NOT RESERVE THEM FOR BURIAL DAY? AND HOWCOME PRAYERS SHALL BE CONDUCTED AT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MOTEL , THUS A BAR , NO RESPECT FOR THE DEAD MAN OF ACTION AKA KING COBRA

  2. Why by invitation only? Why not hold one big memorial service and invite everyone? So much for a man of the people.

    • But do you realise that in the picture above is the National Assembly Buildings ie Parliament and that the MPs were listening to kateka? differentiate this from the Motel please

  3. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
    ? Steve Jobs

  4. “He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.”
    – Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain
