Not until 1997 after the Liberation of Rumbek, Eng. Chol Tong served as a distinguished teacher in Rumbek Secondary School as a fulfillment of the SPLM agenda of training qualified cadres who will reinforce the movement in short or long run and he did this because of the love for his people and SPLM vision.
