I expect flags at half mast and 3 days of mourning for this great hero

Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart You called out to our country And you whispered to those in pain Now you belong to heaven And the stars spell out your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out long before Your legend ever will Loveliness we've lost These empty days without your smile This torch we'll always carry For our nation's golden child And even though we try The truth brings us to tears All our words cannot express The joy you brought us through the years And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned our long before Your legend ever will Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart Goodbye England's rose From a country lost without your soul Who'll miss the wings of your compassion More than you'll ever know And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out long before Your legend ever will Candle in the Wind '97 Elton John Songwriters: Elton John / Bernie Taupin Candle in the Wind '97 lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Therein lies @Limanika's expectations for the Flags to fly at half mast. Of course, the Kamwana Ngaament, being a continuation of the MzeroOne Project, will ignore this request. May the good Lord rest Stanley Matiba in eternal peace.

Matiba is the father of 2nd liberation. Though jaramogi had been in the trenches for decades, it took matiba's charisma and wealth to force moi to accept. In the process he spent his fortune, lost his health. Of course there were other dynamics that converged at the time e.g. end of cold war, to aid the process, but all the same he is the catalyst we needed. As for collaboration with colonialists b4 independence, opinion is still divided. We needed some to work with mzungu for strategic reasons, provided it was not extreme

I like the disagreements here.. We must question the role of our heroes. Even Winnie Mandela's legacy is oft questioned I have always wondered how it would have been if he had not been rigged out of the 1988 Kanu polls
