“If you want to know people you have to know them by their routes, Character always matters, it is something we forget, a persons character sines and what we saw Prof both as a Vice President and as president was a man of character.

“Once we lose the moral end, once you lose the moral authority, you lose you have lost the capacity to rule and Prof always had that morality about him in his behaviour, in his discussions.
