Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba has hailed the late Brazilian football legend Pele as a symbol of world unity. Pele, who was buried in Brazil on Tuesday, died last week aged 82 after a long battle with kidney and prostate complications. “On behalf of the entire sporting fraternity of the Republic of Kenya, I join the rest of the world in mourning but also in celebrating a modern-day legend, Pele,” Namwamba said. He said Pele was more than just an incredible footballer who did mesmerising things with the ball on the field. So what Pele dreamt, the vision that he carried, the agenda that he had of a world united through football has come true.”
