Jabulani Ncube
in response to the painting by Paul Levy
​
​
​
My dear friend, the Zimbabwean disability rights advocate, Jabulani Ncube, was a powerful spirit.
This spirit was married to a daunting intellect, a booming laugh and a finger-fusing handshake.
Jabu was one of the founders of the disability movement in Southern Africa.
He died suddenly in 2012 in Namibia.
He was 59.
