Alfred Taban risked his life for the democratic rights of the people of South Sudan and the Sudan in Khartoum as a journalist of BBC and Chief Editor of Khartoum Monitor, says Pastor.
Reverend Joseph Zebedayo says the late media hero demonstrated to South Sudanese to work hard for the young nation to remain good for its inhabitants.
The pastor testifies that Alfred Taban fought selflessly using pen and his words to liberate people from marginalization.
George Otto, a member of the national parliament, who presented the biography of late Alfred Taban, recalled that Taban was reporting truth on massive killings in South Sudan, South Kordofan and Darfur.
MP Otto remembered that the accurate reporting of Alfred Taban contributed greatly to the independence of South Sudan and indictment of former Sudanese President Omer Al Beshir.
The speakers were addressing legislators and mourners at the national Assembly last Friday before late Alfred Taban’s body was flown for burial in Kajo-Keji.
