and Ethnic groups, He was not reluctant to talk about his work and trying to
close the gaps between Culture/Tradition and religion. He always said that

I worked with him for 4 years in the EM Project. He had big dreams for Kukula THP. He was proud to be part of the EM Project and he worked so hard with passion and commitment to educate other healers. To me, he was like a father. I have learnt many traditional medicine and meicinal trees from him. My respect and love for him will always remain. May he rest in peace.
