From the Nyamwange family (Illinois), please accept our deep and heartfelt sorrow on the passing of a great man.  His influence has reached far and near.  May the words of Jesus comfort you at such a time as this.  “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25,26)

With deep regret do I announce the untimely passing on of mwalimu MICHAEL MARINDA, who until his sudden demise was the principal – Mbita High School, Suba dustrict. Earlier, he had taught in reknown Kanga High School and Lambwe Mixed Secondary School.
Mwalimu your prowess in Mathematics and administrative skills will be highly missed by your students, both current and former.
May God rest his soul in eternal peace!
It is sad that Mr Marinda had to leave this world at a time when his mathematical prowess was highly needed. For those of us who were at Mbita High School between 1991-1994, we will forever remember him for his ability to ‘conjure up’ tan, cos, sin, log, antilog etc without consulting mathematical tables. Even the dumbest in maths loved his classes because he made maths look so simple. Rest in Peace “wuod jaduong’.”
