MORE than 1 000 people crowded the Diocesan College (Bishops) Chapel for the funeral of James Thomas, the South African killed in the three-day Westgate Mall terror attack in Nairobi.
Thomas, 57, had been in the mall when it was stormed by armed men on September 21, leaving 67 dead. He was in Kenya training youths to find jobs and grow the economy.
Cape Town Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba told the gathering Thomas had touched the lives of many Kenyans “far more than he probably realised”.
Claremont Main Road Mosque Imam Rahied Omar called for interfaith unity against terror attacks. He extended condolences to family and friends.
