He will be fondly remembered for his contribution in the water sector in the SADC region and beyond. In my personal interaction with him Lewis proved to be a very cheerful and modest fellow comrade, an admirable independent researcher, thinker and writer. Our deepest sympathy go to his family, friends and colleagues at University of the Western Cape (UWC) where he lectured and mentored on many young water professionals.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be dearly missed within the Cap-Net fraternity. I am informed that WaterNet will be coordinating the compilation of an e-book to celebrate and in memory of the life of Lewis, among working colleagues, students and networking locally, regionally and internationally. You are all welcome to contribute and share photographs as well. Please contact the current WaterNet Manager, Jean-Marie Kileyshe Onema or the Director of Cap-Net, Themba Gumbo directly.
