The employee, Goodluck Didas Silayo, had recently received confirmation of his promotion and was preparing to take over the top leadership role in the company.
According to the company’s billionaire owner, David Mulokozi, Goodluck was one of the most trusted and dedicated members of staff and had been actively involved in the firm’s expansion plans.
Mulokozi recounted that the company had been undergoing major changes, including opening new branches and restructuring its leadership. Goodluck had even moved into the CEO’s office in preparation for the official handover.
However, the announcement was delayed due to an internal audit and work-related travel that required other managers to leave him overseeing operations.
On the evening of June 13, Goodluck was involved in a serious car crash in the Dodoma region. He died before help could reach him, leaving colleagues and family in shock. The news was confirmed shortly after the incident, despite efforts by the company’s medical team and officials who rushed to the scene.
Mulokozi, visibly emotional, said he drove himself to the accident scene after receiving the call, hoping for a different outcome. He also arranged for emergency medical support and even considered airlifting him if he was still alive.
By the time he arrived, however, Goodluck had already passed away. The billionaire described the moment as deeply painful, noting that just a day earlier they had spoken about final preparations for his promotion.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing sadness over how quickly life can change, especially at the peak of achievement and recognition.
