Bishop of South Ankole Diocese Nathan Ahimbisibwe has hailed one of the Church's pillars and elder, Molly Kazarwa aka Mukaka, who clocked 100 years on Independence Day.

Ahimbisibwe said Kazarwa managed to clock 100 years of age because she was raised as a saved girl, adding that salvation increases one's lifespan.

The Bishop made the remarks on Sunday, October 9, 2022, while preaching to a congregation at St Mark's Church of Uganda in Rwabaramira sub-parish as Kazarwa celebrated her birthday.

Global High School director Aggrey Byarugaba, who is also Uganda Red Cross Society, Ntungamo branch governing board vice-chairperson, said his grandmother raised and educated him plus shaping him from his childhood. 

As a result, Byarugaba said, he decided to organise a colourful thanksgiving service for her.

On the same day, Ahimbisibwe confirmed 110 people into Christianity and also presided over a dedication service for P.7, S.4 & S.6 candidates in the area.

The function was attended by religious leaders, politicians, academicians, relatives and other distinguished guests, among others.
