Mangaliso, a week after you departed in this world, we are blessed with your Niece. Her name is Sibusiso which means blessings. Our tears are still flowing but Gogo Nyagwira will be busy changing nappies while Chawezi is a proud dad and Maria happy a mum, the whole clan is looking up to God. Still calling upon His name to answer us and tell us great and unsearchable things we do not know.
Missing you

THE FLAT WORLD
THE FLAT WORLD
The other day we spoke about a Malawian from the village equipped with the computer could see the whole world under his mud hut. The three words were THE FLAT WORLD you lived it and you grasp it;
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve o death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.

WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO BE
The world is morning you Mangaliso. Tributes are coming from all the corners of the world; you were a man of CHARACTER. This poem sums up you Mangaliso;
I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there are those who suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all-the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up. and laugh, and love, and lift
You knew very well “What you were going to BE”

A WEEK WITHOUT MANGALISO
A week has passed today without you in this world. I still can’t believe it, still feels like a dream, tears are flowing from my eyes without ceasing, each time I look around I can feel the air of sadness. It’s very hard to imagine how we are going to cope with your loss. Your death has puzzled us so much, you lived your last days as if you knew that you were soon going to depart in this world.

MANGALISO JERE EULOGY
MANGA MAN( Mangaliso Jere)
I will start with CEREBRATING your life.
You are A Ngoni who was proud of who you are, a man who had the heart to accommodate everybody, a man who found the meaning of life at very young age, a man who found a purpose for his life, a man who realised his potential very well ahead of most the people I know, a man who loved wisdom and knowledge, a man who brought me laughter, a Manchester United Fun, a gentle man, a man who was informed about currents affairs, a man who had big dreams, a man who has gone through tough experiences in life at a very young age, a man who came out shoulders high a against all odds, you embraced the seasons of change in your life integrity beyond your age. I can go on and on.
I WILL MISS YOU!! Mangaliso Jere
You were a good company always had something positive to talk about, you were a true believer in positive thinking.
You had solutions all the time, that’s a gift which God blessed upon your heart and you used it well.
I will miss our talk about technology- am still keeping the book about wireless net working. Wish if the wireless technology could work between Earth and Heaven, then we could Blog and Instant Message each other.
You had the guts to speak your mind in all avenues of life.
Your love and care will always be cherished.
WHY YOU? Mangaliso Robert Jere
Only God will help us to understand why?
Psalms 16: 6 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.
Psalms 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?
RIP - Mangaliso Robert Jere

As for me Daniel I will always remember you as my LITTLE UNCLE who brought a smile when I was down. You where a phone call away on my BIRTHDAY
I will tell your story, your dreams to Dominic and Malcom and all the rest of your nieces and nephews.
Jo Jo will always be in to fill me with the Gaps.
Our promise to you is to live your dream of making GOGO happy and making the world a better place.
God is Good all the time.
As for we your nephews, we promise to Love school and BUILD ONE BIG COMPUTER IN YOUR NAME
This will be named MANGA COMPUTER and our SOLICITOR will be JOJO, uncle Chawezi will be the Managing Director
We Love You, We will always do, We will never forget you.
I Daniel and JOJO will make sure our siblings know you
We will meet you in Heaven
Psalms 137: 1-3
PS
Uncle Manga one thing we never got around to talk about is how do you feel about the Spanish (Real Madrid) selling David Beckham to the USA
Do you know the joke about butter, I won’t tell you because you will spread it.
Mangaliso Robert Samuel Sobukwe Jere
Manga, hear and listen to this one; this time around it’s Sisi (Nyumbie)
Firstly I love you and will always do, what I can say I am heart broken. But what I want to tell you is that I will never forget you.
I have known you since 01 March 81, you have survived the greatest odds. Each time you have been stronger.
How can describe you?
You are brother full of jokes, never one to keep a grudge, intelligent and resourceful. I admire your ability to succeed against all odds, losing a Dad, big brother you still came through sane.
One thing I promise is that your dreams will succeed. You were the perfect leader, the person who took things seriously. The last time I spoke to you, the night before your operation, you still had something to joke about.
I trust that the Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, will help us understand why it had to be you so early.
This last one is for you Psalms 25

Mangaliso Robert Samuel Jere is a brother, uncle, son, and friend to numerous loved ones. I have experienced his brotherly love and companionship in life’s hardships and its joyful memories.
Whenever I was down, he would say, it is all planned by God, so don’t question why? Although at this moment my mind wonders and questions that word. Manga, or to others Mangaman is still intelligent, trustworthy, hardworking and thoughtful.
I will always love you as my own and only brother. My heart is full of his memories and may your soul rest in peace, MISSING YOU SO MUCH JOJO.
May the lion and leopard of Malawi protect you as God prepares place for, His Royal Highness Mangaliso Robert Samuel Jere
PS. I promise as a “Jere Girl” as you put it, I will look after Mum and become the next CHIEF JUSTICE IN THE JERE’S EMPIRE
