It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Mr Deus.

He was a great friend of staff and children at Mayega Children’s Centre. Moreover, he was the fundi we called on when repair and maintenance work was required. He seemed able to turn his hand to anything.

Mr and Mrs Deus were due to be special guests at our 10th Anniversary Party at the Centre on 1st June. Mr Deus died in hospital that morning after a short illness. He was 54 years old.

Deus Mtoba was from the Mayega area and learned his building skills from his father. He is survived by ten sons and daughters, who are carrying on the family’s building tradition.

Pastor Deuli, Neema Stephen, Christine and John paid their respects to Mrs Deus, and Mr Deus’ mother, on a visit to the family home. Many other family members were present as they continued to mourn.

RIP Mr Deus. We will miss you.
