Nandala Nafabi outside politics

His favourite food is mushrooms and matooke. He plays tennis when he gets free time, and he cannot stop calling his wife, ‘beautiful’. Meet Nathan Nandala Mafabi, the ordinary man when not in the limelight, and out of Parliamentary business.

As he sees us to the gate past the other people waiting for him, I cannot resist asking what has helped him through the low points, when what he went after does not quite work out.

“I go re-energise myself to get over that low end. Something great is always around the corner,” he says. And there we have it, the last thing that I learn of Mafabi at least for that day. He is an optimist, an optimist with a spirit that would be hard to daunt.
