Atlanta Loses another Young Kenyan Samuel Kisaka Mwawasi

Barely a month after a young Kenyan student collapsed and died at Kennesaw State University, the Kenyan community in Atlanta is grieving once again after another young man lost his life following a head-on collision accident which occured a few miles from Hartsfield International Airport, South of the City of Atlanta.

Samuel Kisaka Mwawasi passed away on Saturday afternoon at Grady Memorial Hospital where he had been taken after the Friday night grisly accident.

He is the son of pastor Donald Mwawasi of Believers Celebration Church in Marietta, Georgia.

Mwawasi, 28, was driving home from meeting his friends when the accident happened on Old National Highway in college park, Georgia at around 4am.
He was taken to Grady Memorial hospital in a critical condition after sustaining serious internal and external injuries.

Atlanta police told KEN that it took a while before the authorities could get hold of the family.

Other reliable sources told these reporters that when the parents arrived at Grady Hospital, they could not immediately see him as a team of ten doctors was working endlessly to contain the profuse internal bleeding. However, at around 3 pm EST., he succumbed to his injuries and passed on.

“It is so sad that we have lost such a humble, hardworking young man who was so loved by his parents and the community at large”, said Dr Robert Ndonga, a close family friend who is in the funeral committee in Atlanta.

Asked whether he knew the fate of the other driver, Dr Ndonga said the information on the accident was still scanty but the East Point police would soon release the report.
