It is disappointing that for such an iconic journalist the Media workers of Waitukubuli are significantly absent with their tributes in this column. Nonetheless his unapolegetic work in media stands out even after death and personally I will miss that. His spirit has gone to the spirit world but his legacy is left for others to follow, yet will they? I am so sorry for the families loss. Radio broadcasting has suffered another blow
