I am deeply saddened by the death of Prof. Ali Mazrui . Prof. Mazrui was a towering academician whose intellectual contributions played a major role in shaping African scholarship. He was one of the greatest scholars Kenya and the continent have ever produced. His brilliance raised him to the apex of scholarly distinction and earned him respect and following among his peers globally. His literary works, debates and relentless cultivation of a global view of Africa have helped to tell the continent’s story. Prof. Mazrui’s legacy and commitment to intellectual advancement will always remain etched in Kenyans’ minds, and his name will be remembered alongside other Kenyan and African intellectual icons who contributed immensely in the academic sphere. My thoughts and prayers are with his Family and Friends at this time of great sorrow and grief. I pray that God grants you the strength and courage to bear the tragic loss.
