We are truly saddened by the sudden loss of Dr Webster Zambara. A great man and a visionary whose loss will be felt all through Africa. Dr Zambara deeply loved his continent, his country and his fellow Africans.

Thank you for all you did for peace on the African continent and for all the work that will continue because of your vision.
