It gives me the strength to know that we are such a big Family. Thank you so so much for your positive energy. It keeps us going.
To all who have been impacted directly and indirectly by this deadly virus let’s encourage them to look at the brighter side.
May I plead dear friends our mission to rebrand the African Continent must be our motivational factor and may such bring us together to share the same vision? Let the journey begin with you
A few hours later he notified his executive team in saying:
Dear Colleagues, I am still in quarantine and today wasn’t my best day. My chest is failing me. May I request we reschedule our meeting for next week I should be well by then. My apologies stay well and keep safe. This Virus is causing havoc and destruction.
