Some friendships become family; some colleagues become brothers.
Friendship that endured
Eng. Doggale remembers Labana as more than a friend: a brother whose presence became part of his life’s story. Their bond carried school memories, family visits, shared celebrations and a loyalty inherited by their children.
From classmates to colleagues
George Danti remembers meeting Labana at the University of Juba in 2001. University friendship grew into brotherhood and later continued through professional life at the Ministry, music, laughter and the 2001 law-students reunion.
The consistent memory
Across the wider circle, the same qualities return: kindness, humour, loyalty, humility, generosity and service. The tributes show how professional respect and friendship became part of a living public legacy.
