happy birthday to my friend, cde duma gideon boko happy birthday to my friend, brother and companion on the battle-field, cde duma gideon boko, with whom i have shared all the tribulations and joys of a full life. i wish for nothing more than to have endured with you the path that destiny so thrust before us, joined by a common cause inspired by an entire generation that has been courageous enough to shape its own destiny. to thank you would not adequately paint the picture that is my gratitude to God for you. i have prayed many prayers, consistently, as a child, among them that God preserve and bless the lives of those who serve him and his people, and will submit the same for you until i exhale my last breath within the borrowed time on which i subsist. 200 years from now, on the 31 December 2214, these words will ring as true for you as they are for the man about whom they were originally intended: .. he departed laden with years, laden with works, laden with the most illustrious and most fearful of responsibilities, the responsibility of the human conscience informed and rectified. he went cursed and blessed, cursed by the past, blessed by the future: and these gentlemen, are the two superb forms of glory..the acclaim of contemporaries and of posterity, ..the triumph of hooting and of hate which the implacable past bestows upon those who have combated it. he was more than a man; he was an age. he had exercised a function and fulfilled a mission. he had been evidently chosen for the work which he had done, by the Supreme Will, which manifests itself as visibly in the laws of destiny as in the laws of nature.. - Victor Hugo happy birthday my friend. yours in this marvellous movement inspired by the moono generation, ndaba (the herdboy).
