The Kenyan community in Adelaide, Australia, is grappling with the untimely demise of John Ngima, affectionately known as Junior, who passed away on Monday, September 9, at the age of 37.
Junior is survived by his 12-year-old son Denzel, mother Grace Ngima, and sister Dr Agnes Ngima. In the wake of this tragedy, the family is coordinating efforts to repatriate Junior’s remains to Kenya for his final rest. The Kenyan Association of South Australia (KASA) has taken a proactive role in supporting the family during this difficult time. Through their official Facebook page, KASA has announced that the estimated budget for repatriation and associated expenses stands at $40,000.
They have designated Mary Nderi as the point of contact for those wishing to contribute financially to this cause. Understanding that not all community members will be able to travel to Kenya for the funeral, KASA has also arranged for a memorial service to be held in Adelaide. The details of this service are yet to be finalized and will be communicated once confirmed. This local memorial will provide an opportunity for friends and family to pay their respects and celebrate Junior’s life closer to home.
KASA has emphasized the importance of continued community support during this challenging period. They have acknowledged the comfort that the community’s generosity, prayers, and love have already provided to the grieving family. The association encourages the Kenyan community in Adelaide to maintain their support, recognizing the collective strength that emerges when people unite in times of adversity.
“Your generosity, prayers, and love have already been a source of immense comfort to the family, and we ask that you continue to keep them in your hearts as we navigate this difficult time together. Thank you for standing by Junior’s family and for your unwavering support. Let’s come together as a community to honour his life and ensure a smooth transition as he is taken back to his homeland,” KASA wrote.
