Dear colleagues  and friends,

It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of Ms. Nodumo Dhlamini from the Association of African Universities (AAU) in Accra yesterday.

Ms. Nodumo was scheduled to feature the Association of African Universities (AAU) at the AFRALO UA Day on 7 May. She also joined and contributed to AFRALO's sessions in Rwanda last June and served as the vice chair of the small group working on the ICANN African Regional Strategy. 

I had the pleasure and honour of working with her on these occasions. Although we had only known each other for a short time, her presence and collaboration already meant so much. 

Ms. Nodumo will be deeply missed by the entire community. We will be remembering her during AFRALO UA Day and I will inquire about how we can send our condolences to her family.

May her soul rest in peace.

Kind regards

Hadia Elminiawi

AFRALO Chair
