Prof Maathai: Warrior for justice with a vision for the future

Last Thursday, I was privileged to participate at the well-attended third anniversary of the late Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai, best remembered for being a trail blazer and champion on key issues relating to environment and democracy in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Joining her family and friends, the event was a happy one: filled with humorous anecdotes, laughter, songs, poems, tributes and dancing; indeed a fitting remembrance of Prof Maathai’s legacy.
