Alexander Bustamante Causes of Death

[@kennedysingh3916]

He was the only one made national hero while still alive and remember his death announcement on the radio 📻 (Lady Bustamante was by his side when he died). For the following days until he was buried the airways were filled with stories and documentations about him. Not even Bob Marley funeral was as big.

I went to Marleys funeral and the national arena was full.

[@alamg043]

Very interesting program.

[@hepburndavis]

Busta started out in Jamaica as a trade unionist; he was the founder of The Bustamante Industrial Trade Union. His first activism was extensive advocacy as letters to the editor of The Gleaner. He was a very complex leader.

[@hepburndavis]

Sangster became Prime Minister in February 1967, fell into a mysterious coma and died in Canada from brain hemorrhage in April. That year was unique because there were 3 different Prime ministers in the country. This has not happened since.

[@JamaicanChapter]

Yes, indeed.

[@OtherPeoplesBusiness_]

It was said that Clarke was not his biological dad. This is why he could easily change his name.

[@AndreaSmith-j1z]

Thank u sir

[@doxcb4717]

I didn’t know that Sir Bustamante had legally changed his name

[@nerdknowledgeunlimited6023]

He was an enigma. Not a lot was known about him prior to the 1930s. He should've learned to speak Spanish if he went to school in Spain. There are some gaps here that needs to be cleared up. I also read some years ago that he worked somewhere as a dietician. Those records should still be available.

[@hepburndavis]

His detractors said Busta was illiterate and that nonsense persists even today.

[@desrinemorgan1414]

Seems to me it's a trend . WOW!!#

[@wayneanthony1089]

He was not well educated....to put it mildly....and that's a FACT. But he was a savvy politician!

[@AndreaSmith-j1z]

Rip 💔

[@carltonferguson9796]

Norman Manly 10:37 prosecuted Marcus Garvey and sent him to prison The jewish Neville Asheniem represented Marcus Garvey in the appeal which he won but by that time his assetts were already sold.Marcus also chastise Haile Selasi.

[@kornellumley953]

how long garvey was at spanish town prison

[@carmenmckenzie3707]

Forgive Him of His mistake. My Grandmother. Was Rasta. She work. At his house when i was a Child

[@OmarEdwards-ob3iw]

Understand he was blind from he was a PM after winning 1962 election ...Sangster actually acted as PM from as early as 1963,won the election in 1967 and died 2 months after

[@JamaicanChapter]

My story on Donald Sangster will be published in April

[@OmarEdwards-ob3iw]

@@JamaicanChapter nice

[@staminadon]

This fish 🐟 is no hero

[@linettejenkins8600]

Is Gordon Town the same as Irish town?

[@dslym370]

This man was simply evil, he shouldn't have become a national hero.

[@OmarEdwards-ob3iw]

It is said he went away with the Sailor Mr Bustamante,married and came back with his name

[@CHILLINRECORDSBEATZ]

Wow

[@Fen534]

He percicute the rasta in the 60s how is that a hero

[@wayneanthony1089]

The word is..."PERSECUTE"!

[@nerdknowledgeunlimited6023]

Can you believe that he was president of the BITU when he died in 1977? He should've stepped down from the Prime Ministership from 1964-1965. That would've given Donald Sangster the chance to shine. That was selfish of him. He didn't want to relinquish power.

[@wayneanthony1089]

The only political leaders in Jamaica who willingly relinquish power were Norman Manley and PJ Patterson.

[@nerdknowledgeunlimited6023]

Hugh Shearer also did in 1974.​@@wayneanthony1089

[@carltonferguson9796]

There are many sides to the story Marcus garvey chastise rasta?Research that.

[@dorettepatterson6588]

Bustamante got children,illegally. I personally know of his granddaughter. He changed his name and lived a life of duplicaty. Was not a very forthright or honest person and was a go getter which helped him to achieve his goals in life.

[@JamaicanChapter]

Interesting piece of information.

[@waldagarnett3032]

Stop making up stories

[@OmarEdwards-ob3iw]

JLP's first two Leaders are vampires...one died on Independent Day and the other died on his burthday ,what a coincident that they chose these days to die on

[@rayonking3239]

Likewise pnp norman manley

[@waldagarnett3032]

You're a silly tribalist

[@wayneanthony1089]

You must be a real lunatic!.... I didn't know that people "CHOOSE" to die.....(on a particular day)😂🤣🤓😁

[@wayneanthony1089]

​@@waldagarnett3032Well said 👍

[@karlhenry2328]

I had no idea people get to choose what day they die on, your internet connection should be permanently disabled for life. It is political tribalist like yourself that has held Jamaica from reaching its full potential. Have some class by not responding to my comment if that’s possible.. Gweh…

[@OmarEdwards-ob3iw]

He is rumoured to be bisexual

[@waldagarnett3032]

Not my business nor yours

[@nicolescott1354]

Not because he has no children he is bisexual.

[@wayneanthony1089]

That rumour is spread and confined to BACKWARD and ILLITERATE fools like you and your circle!

[@wayneanthony1089]

​@@nicolescott1354That's how BACKWARD, idiots think!
