Tribute to the passing on of comrade Muyangana Muyangana
by Muyunda Makala
Barotse Imilemas (BIs) National Secretary, on behalf of the membership of BIs and indeed on my own behalf, express extreme grief on the passing on of a resolute, principled and true freedom fighter of the nation of Barotseland, late comrade Muyangana Muyangana, who passed away on 12th December2014. Yes, one of us is gone--a true Barotse legend. A man who walked, talked and lived his life to the fullest. Comrade Muyangana will be missed by many. As a young man, I came to know him in 2009 as a true freedom fighter committed to the liberation of Barotseland. He was a man who enjoyed talking to young people. A gallant freedom fighter who inspired many Barotse youths, among them the BIs, to join the freedom struggle of Barotseland. Indeed he was a humble man whose desire and dream was liberation and restoration of Barotseland as a state. He stood as a giant and hero to all who treasured liberty, freedom and dignity of human kind. Indeed Barotseland has lost a selfless man, whose only joy was to fight, secure and establish the rightful status of Barotseland for all Malozi. His dream was for the inhabitants of the kingdom of Barotseland to reap the rewards of a free nation state, fairness and equality. He spoke without fear. We salute him. He will always have a special place in our hearts. May his soul rest in internal peace and rise in great glory. I send my condolences to the bereaved family. May the Almighty provide you a comforting shoulder during these trying moments.
