For the longest time, in the event of the death of a loved one, we have had to do with obituaries which are listed in the newspapers to let others know of the unfortunate occurrence. Vernacular radio has also helped with their “matangazo ya kifo” section.
Technological advancement on the other hand has seen the rise in the use of social media to inform friends and relatives in the event of the death of a loved and even to plan the funeral. In this case, Whatsapp groups have become a life saver in that they have helped ease communication in such situations. In the past, one would have had to make a lot of calls people in order to pass on the message.
However, in as much as these modes of communication help pass on the message. The information contained therein cannot be stored for the sake of future generations. That is unless you make a point of filling newspaper cutting for reference which can be a tedious affair.
