| Enoch Olinga |
|
| Hand of the Cause born in 1926 in the village of Abaango, Uganda — Africa's only native Hand of the Cause. He became a Bahá'í in 1952, the third Ugandan to accept Bahá'u'lláh and the first of the Teso tribe. He taught the Faith widely, particularly among his own tribe. He pioneered to Cameroon during the Ten Year Crusade, thus becoming a Knight of Bahá'u'lláh. For his work in confirming 300 new believers and founding five spiritual assemblies Shoghi Effendi named him ‘Abu'l-Futúb — the Father of Victories. Enoch Olinga was appointed a Hand of the Cause in October 1957. He and several members of his family were brutally murdered by gunmen in their Kampala home in 1979. |
