He is still a household name half a century after he carved himself a name by raising dust storms and churning mud on East Africa's rugged highways and by-ways. To date, boys still mention 'Jogida' or 'Jogida Sing' whenever they see a car speeding away.
In Kenya, even for children who never witnessed his exploits on the road, Joginder Singh is synonymous with speed-breakneck speed.The legendary Safari Rally champion Joginder Singh Bhachu passed away peacefully in London aged 81 last Sunday, Mashujaa (Heroes) Day.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun!
ReplyDeleteThis name reminds me other East African Safari heroes during those good old days, these are Hannu Mikola, Bert Snankland to mention a few. Go peacefully Joginder Singh and Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
