South Africa joined Kenya and the wider African diaspora on Saturday to celebrate the life of the late Raila Amolo Odinga, CGH, former Prime Minister of Kenya — a freedom fighter whose moral courage and democratic convictions transcended borders and generations.
The memorial and thanksgiving service, held at St Stephen’s Anglican Church in Sunninghill, Johannesburg, brought together diplomats, liberation-era veterans, and faith leaders in a moving tribute that bridged nations and histories.
