Hundreds Bid Farewell to Mwelle Kunz

By Ekoko Willies in Kumba

Hundreds of mourners across the Southwest Region have bid good-bye to renowned educationist and Kumba politician, Muelle Kunz Mbai. At the funeral in his compound in Kumba Town Saturday 18 January 2020, mourners reflected on the life of soft spoken and discreet Kumba school administrator who taught and mentored many a Kumba inhabitant.

                At a Church service in honour of Kunz at the Presbyterian Church Kumba Town, the servants of God implored mourners to borrow from the impactful life of the deceased and exemplary. The preacher called on the mourners to live model lifestyles through which footprints they all will be remembered when God calls them. 

                The inconsolable family members, friends, relatives and mourners throughout the funeral took time off to recall pleasant moments they shared with late Kunz as well as lament the vacuum his departure has created as a rising politician and Bafaw elite.

                Late Kunz militated with the Cameroon People Democratic Movement Party (CPDM) as a politician. Before his demise, he was Alternate to Senator Otte Andrew Mofa. He also served as messenger (charge'e des mission) for the Party in Meme.

                Kunz would be remembered for starting the yearly thanks giving in several Churches in Kumba during end of Academic Year exams to celebrate brilliant results of his students. He is on record to have produced the best GCE O/A results in CCAS Kumba while as Principal. The devoted Christian served as an Elder of the Presbyterian Church Kumba Town cumulatively with post of Project Committee Chair among others. Kunz is also remembered for instituting the famous Principal's Cup in CCAS Kumba where he served as Principal for years and other colleges. Kunz died barely a year after a well-deserved retirement.
