Dedication: Dear Brother in Law, with the approach of the anniversary of your death on 24 September 1987 we want to let you know that we will never forget you. We salute you for the unselfish work done for the Bushmen children in the Caprivi. You could still have been with us if it was not for the senseless war to satisfy the egos of polititians.
