What can remind us of death and its finality but the fact that when any mortal is pronounced dead, nothing else can bring him back.

Sleep on Buruji Kashamu.
He said to me during my presentation for WesternLotto. Is that thousands not too small for this project? Oya make it million now.
Less than 10 minutes, he turned my business around. ?
Even in death, I will forever be grateful.
Oh Covid-19. Sigh.— POOJA… (@PoojaMedia) August 8, 2020
Buruji Kashamu’s death leaves one with mixed feelings – a man who embraced all that he was and never apologised for any bit of what he was not.
A brutal operative who only knew how to stay on the offensive always, a bull and a bully.
Those who sought him can now close the file.
