It is with enormous gratitude that we have said farewell to the Chair Trustee of Nyumba ya Masambiro. John Chizalero Msuku, known to friends, family and community members as Dada Jolote, tendered his resignation from the Board of Trustees at Nyumba ya Masambiro after almost 10 years of service to enter his well-deserved retirement.
Dada Jolote has guided the board as Chair Trustee with a steady hand and strong heart. We are so grateful to him for his calm demeanour and strong voice. Protecting NYM and leading it with the benefit of the whole community at the forefront of all his decisions.
He has supported and championed the work of Nyumba ya Masambiro through the lean times and the successful ones. We are so grateful for his sound council and his patience, and under his guidance NYM has progressed from strength to strength.
For those who did not meet Dada Jolote, know that his first question when we discussed his retirement meeting and farewell was: “Will there be music? I want to dance!” And so there was! We wish him a peaceful and restful, well-deserved retirement with his family, and all the music he wishes for so that he can dance whenever he fancies!
Dada Jolote, tawonga chomene for all your years of service!! Yewo yewo!!
