SAME ACT, DIFFERENT WEAPONS, DIFFERENT MEANS, SAME CONSEQUENCES. SAY NO TO MOB JUSTICE AND DIGITAL VIGILANTISM.
We have been warning you against the effects of acting on unverified information provided by unauthorized boys playing heroes, vigilante and saviours of the community to destroy humans counting on the frustration of the mob to participate in their crimes. Without asking the validity of the information. Today you saw a man kill a national hero, imagine the many who have, committed suicide,how many homes you have broken, how many children whose homes you have ruined, at the whim and whip of your social media comments responding to a lie against themselves or family members orchestrated by your so called informants. While this man beat Sydney, there was a woman screaming Bamukube, the same way you keep screaming in the comments, Bamukube, Bamuvume, Bamusibe...... Ya'll accomplices to murders, some you don't even know you contributed to.
To the ladies who cheered while my friend, my son,my neighbor, a father, a great man, sought for refuge amidst the attack on his life, may God repay you some day. The image of him seeking for help on the street breaks my heart, we failed you, Sidney.
Rest In Peace
There are moments in life when words feel too small for the weight of grief you carry. This is one of those moments.
Guga, we grew up sharing more than a rugby pitch. We shared blood, not just the blood of brothers in sport, but the deeper bond of our people, our tribe, our roots. You knew where I came from before I ever had to explain it. That kind of kinship is rare and I am broken knowing I will never stand beside you again.
As your Captain, I watched you carry yourself with a quiet dignity that made my job easier. You never needed me to push you, you pushed yourself.
Every scrum, every breakdown, every bruising collision, you gave everything. You were the kind of teammate who made the man beside you better and the dressing room feel like home.
But beyond the jersey and the titles we won together, you were simply my young brother. The laughter, long journeys and conversations that only made sense to us, I will hold those close for the rest of my days.
The Black Pirates will run out again, but there will always be a space on that field that belongs only to you, Gongodyo. No one will fill it.
Now rest well Guga. I love you ❤️
