    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.

     

    African sun

    woven into cloth

    bright tendrils

    wrap the memory
