Death has robbed Motorsport of a very dedicated and irreplaceable person. His name is William Louw
In Africa, its deep grief of a person who engineered safety to the maximum highlighting the future of Motorsport in Africa.
William Louw is one that could have lived to witness the fruits of his efforts as far as safe racing is concerned and most especially in Uganda.
His life was defined not by the roar of competition, but by the quiet, relentless duty of protecting the safety of every participant, from driver to marshal and spectators. May his Soul Rest in Peace.
Across all the stages of the rally, William Louw was a darling to many who loved safety and lives of all. No stage could go live without him confirming that it is safe from the beginning to the end.
Louw was never just an official in FIA colours. He was the man of action on the ground that left no stone unturned till safety was on top.
At the Shell V-Power Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally, his influence was always visible. Every protocol had to be adhered to from the martials, media, emergency and fans.
He did not only walk stages, but also made sure that reports were uncompromised.
Rest in peace, William Louw.
END.
