Shafiq’s sudden passing away shocked me beyond measure. I have lost a true friend and confidante whom I cannot replace, whose counsel and advice I, and many others, benefited greatly from. He also to a very great extent, although he was not obliged, looked after me and my family. I wish his soul to rest in eternal peace. I thank all those who went to the funeral of Shafiq and those who have come for the Memorial Service. FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.
