Sad news. We are so very
sad to report on the passing of Leah Patricia Kamangilila, one of
Seka’s actors. She died of malaria on 26th October this year. She
was 31 one years old and leaves behind a daughter and ten other
orphans that she was looking after. She was one of the shining stars
of theatre in the Eastern Province and will be sorely missed by us
all.
Leah joined Seka in 2003 when we
travelled to Durban for the World Parks Congress. Here she showed
her outstanding ability as an actor. She then joined us on the BEST
CHOICE Campaign, a project to combat child labour where she
showcased her skill as a researcher. She was invaluable to Seka and
was poised to take on a more managerial role; she was due to start
training for this position the week before she died.
Leah had a big heart and was
forever trying to help people. She was an activist of note and a
tireless HIV/AIDS educator. She was forever on the lookout for ways
that she and Seka could help people. She was the treasurer for the
National Arts Council for Eastern Province and a reporter for Radio
Maria. She is greatly missed.
