Thousands of mourners from all walks of life came together on Sunday to bury a renowned First National Bank Manager of the Rundu branch, Reagan Mwalimu Limmy Kwala, who died in a car accident on 18 June 2024.
Kwala was buried at his home village Ishuvu in the Katima Rural Constituency in the Zambezi Region.
Kwala died in a fatal car accident that occurred on the Otavi-Otjiwarongo road, which claimed the lives of eight other people.
Speaker after speaker praised and spoke highly of Kwala, noting that his demise is not just a loss to his family but also to the region and the entire country. Kwala, who began his banking journey in 2007 with First National Bank at Katima Mulilo, climbed up the ladder with the assistance of qualifications from Stellenbosch University and passion for his profession.
One of the speakers was elder brother Dobson Kwala, who spoke highly of his younger brother.
‘This son of the soil was not just a banker but a professional, disciplined and passionate one. He was a smart young man.
We have lost as a family. For some of us, he taught us financial management and how to save at home,’ Kwala sobbed.
Other sympathisers like Namibian motivation and business coach Sam Shivute took to social media to express their condolences for the loss of Kwala, describing him as a great man, an amazing human being who was passionate about being of service to others.
‘Limmy created great memories for many people. He had a big vision for promoting domestic tourism in the country,’ said Shivute.
Kwala owned and ran a river boat cruise business on the Zambezi River banks.
He is survived by his mother, two children and two siblings.
