"I just came over to let you that m graduating next week Friday with a credit and it's not been easy, yet through His mercies, it is finished. It is barely six years now since you departed from us yet the pain inside our hearts is like yesterday's event," read part of the statement.
"I never thought I would come this far, never even crossed my mind that one day I would be in the university, but here I am father standing on the same spot I stood six years ago testifying that the Mercies of the Lord endure forever," he continued.
"Dad, the boy you left is now a man and also an Unza graduate. Hence, I just came here to say #, thankyou papa," concluded Mwansa.
