Françoise Foning Is Dead!!

    
A lot of you have been reaching out to me today via SMS, email and even here, asking me to confirm if it's true or not. Sadly, it is true. The woman of the people, and energetic Douala 5 Mayor, Françoise Foning is dead. She succumbed to the injuries sustained during a car accident. 
Remember i told you HERE that Mme Foning was invoIved in a ghastly car accident on January 17, which saw her car somersault and crash. She'd been in intensive care since then.
I met her last week in Yaounde, during the 4th elective General Assembly of the United Councils and Cities of Cameroon, she was hale and hearty, even though she'd lost a ton of weight. 
That was to be the very last public outing she would ever make, as upon her return to the West region, from that event, she was involved in the accident which has claimed her life.
The details of her death are still sketchy, but I will post them once I have them.
RIP Ma Fo

Update: her corpse(can't believe I'm already using this word), has been conveyed from the Yaounde Central Hospital, to the Yaounde General Hosoital Mortuary.

This news is very shocking the Almighty Mayor of Douala V who played a very vital role in the politics of this country. Her humanitarian gestures were highly manifested when CERAC women were dispatched to specific places to hand gifts to vulnerable children
Madame Mayor Her soul rest in peace
