This glorification of a lumpen one "Majaliwa" can only happen when the political class is bogged down in morass. It could also be an insidious statement of despair at dearth of leadership. The well decorated T- Shirt with this incognito until now, and the "Majaliwa" heroism may be a point in hand where a nation hunger for national idols and the political class has failed miserably to fill the void neither are our sportsmen and women!
In the aftermath of MV Bukoba capsize, the Sauzi volunteer team that came to our rescue had given us brotherly tips on how to handle similar tragedies but we were flourish in lipservice but anaemic in deeds in fulfilling our part of the deal.
Now we just paid a damning price, and our leaders have echoed what they promised in 1996, but we have a reason to be very concerned history will repeat itself!
Promises of action but ending up in inaction until hit by another tragedy then we wake up from slumber reiterating old fairies hoping nobody remembers.
We are now left with this an unenviable legacy of David vs Goliath.
It is a.....
A STORY OF TWO MAJALIWAS.
A narrative few are willing to review is a "story of two Majaliwas".
One is PM the other is "mjasiria mali."
The former when fully informed of a devastating tragedy majestically boarded a chopper - which should have been busier saving lives at the Lake Victoria shoreline- like a tourist and strolled to the calamity solving no problem despite adding substantial carbon imprint to the embattled planet while the latter with his bare knuckles and a wooden pad saved 19 souls which without his intrepid and nonpareil judgment more fatalities could have resulted.
Our God is the God of miracles. This scenario bears semblance to the Biblical David vs Goliath. David armed to teeth with five alluvial stones and a slingshot took apart a belligerent giant emblazoned with military attire and contraptions while spueing blasphemy against My Lord God Christ Jesus the Amen [emoji120].
