CONDOLENCE MESSAGE

RE: Condolence message to Abel Dhaira’s family
The cruel hand of death robbed us of one of our proudest sons of Busoga “Abel Dhaira” during the Easter Sunday Luncheon. Dhaira, a prolific and celebrated football sports’ goalkeeper succumbed to abdominal cancer in Iceland. We decry the loss of such young talent but should be energized in our fight against cancer, life’s worst monster and silent killer. As a kingdom, we implore you all to carryout various cancer tests as some cancer if detected early could be dealt with.
We stand with the family and the wider fraternity of the football sport in celebrating the passing on of our son Dhaira. The good Lord gives and takes and may he grant Abby Dhaira eternal rest. Kyabazinga Afunvuwe.
