Dr T was a teacher, mentor and father-figure to me. A solid and steady force in my support structure and system. I had the good fortune of working closely with him the last four and a half years and am humbly grateful to God for placing him in my life path to make a huge positive impact in my life. His wisdom, gentle, quiet and yet powerful spirit always made me feel that I am privileged to know him and have him as a leader who I could always learn from. He helped in enhancing my leadership disposition and I remember he would always advise me not to fret and be perplexed about life's twists and turns because that is how life was designed to be. He taught me how to deal with anxiety and to always choose my battles and fights. I will miss his pieces of advice, words of wisdom and intellect and his laughter. I will strive to make him proud that I was a good student, mentee and follower and I will emulate his example and hold on to the values he espoused of high work quality standards, good work ethic and integrity. May he rest in eternal peace.

Tikhala was a dear friend and colleague of more than a decade, who left an imprint on me in immeasurable ways. I remember the first time we met, in Harare back in 2010 (with Vincent K!). At that time, I had no idea the professional journey we would set upon, or the personal friendship that would develop. He taught me many things, including the perfection of Malawian rice, how tasty a ‘whisper’ of whisky with 7-up could indeed be, and the value of reflection and preparing for the marathon, rather than the sprint in business.. and probably also life. I remember walking the streets of Glasgow a year ago almost to the day, and his sharing memories of being a graduate student in Glasgow some few decades ago. I enjoyed the insight into ‘young Tikhala’, and his adventures from that time. It seems many of our moments shared were done during our walking constitutionals, during which we discussed many things, both professional and personal. Whether in Durban, Cairo, Paris or Torino, these walks became a ritual. I will cherish them even more now, and will continue on our tradition. While I am gutted for the loss, I am grateful that he came into my orbit. I am the better for it. And I will miss him terribly.

Dr. Tikhala used to bring pens to every meeting - he used to call them "magic pens" - and give them to everyone in the room. I once asked him why these specific pens are magic ones, and he answered: "all pens are magic pens; because pens do magical work." Thank you Dr. T. for the imprint you left, all the wisdom you shared and the motivation you gave all those who worked with you.

I want to celebrate the life of Dr T. I am truly honoured to have been lucky enough to fall into his orbit. The man packed so much effect in the period he was here. Mentor, teacher, guide, coach, he was all that and more. He was patient in polishing rough diamonds to bring out the sparkle. His presence and influence will be missed.

Dr.T, its only God who knows why you left too soon. How ever Iam so grate ful for the opportunity of interacting with you. Your words of wisdom have enabled me to think out side the box as i climb my professional ladder higher. I have no doubt that your mentor ship has inspired many Women in the Media. My condolences to your wife, Children and all those whom you lifted higher. May your Soul rest in peace.

Very very sad, a very kind soul. Do convey my condolences, and that of Kenyan editors/journalists, to the WIN fraternity. In Dr. Tikhala's passing the movement in Africa has lost a true father. I watched in awe the deftness with which he encouraged and mentored the girls. And he was the quintessential professional in the many sessions we shared. May his soul rest in peace.

The news of Tikhala's passing comes as a shock. I will keep the memory of a great man, of extreme kindness, listening to everyone.I remember very precisely our first meeting in Paris. The memory of a straightforward man, calm but determined, sensitive to the good of all, has never left me during these years. For me, Tikhala has always embodied WAN-IFRA in Africa. This is a devastating loss, not only for me but for all our community. The Board of WAN-IFRA joins me in extending its deepest and most sincere condolences to his family,
