Jose Chameleone
I’m so saddened by the news of the passing of Alhaj Nasser Ssebagala.
Such a great man, An elder of great wisdom and a great revolutionary who overcame all odds to rise from the lowest to the highest.
His confidence even against the toughest odds will never leave our minds. He believed in the down trodden, the havenots, the less previleged.
His ideas will always live amongst us.
May God strengthen your family, Relatives and friends.
Rest well Haj, till we meet again.
