My sincerest apologies of knowing of the King's passing. I knew him as a boy when my father was principle at what was then Mombera Adventist Seminary back in the early 1970's. I knew him as Chief Zwangendaba, and my parents have a picture of him and I standing together on the campus somewhere in the archives. May he rest in peace. He was a good person. -James Wright
