According to reports, the body of the late veteran journalist Shaka Ssali will be cremated, with his ashes sent to his relatives in Uganda and other African countries for his fans to honor his memory.
This was his final wish, and his family has decided to respect it.
Details about his sendoff services in Washington, D.C., USA, and Uganda will be announced soon. Shaka Ssali, known for his impactful journalism, passed away last week in America, where he had lived for over two decades.
Cremation remains uncommon in Africa, as many still hold traditional beliefs about the afterlife.
However, this choice reflects a personal decision by Ssali and his family. His legacy as a journalist will live on in the hearts of many.
May his soul rest in peace.
