Uchochezi wa Mohamed Said na dhihaka kwa Wapigania Uhuru wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar

[Ritz]

Haya maneno ni ya Abdulwahid Sykes?



Kama ni ya kwake basi mjadala umekwisha kuhusu nani aliasisi TANU.

Unakijua kisa cha Kasella Bantu kuhusu waasisi wa TANU na picha ya kuchakachuwa.

Mjadala bado mbichi kabisa watu wanapata darsa.

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Ritz,

Hawa wazee walifanya kazi kubwa kuikomboa Tanganyika.
Hiyo hapo ni 1951.

Sasa ndugu zetu wao wameshikilia tu historia ianze na Nyerere
1954 na TANU hiyo TANU wenye TANU yao wasitajwe.

Itawezekana vipi?

Mzee Said uwe mkweli basi na mwenye haki; hivi ni nani kati yetu ambaye amewahi kudai hata mara moja kuwa hhistoria "ianze na Nyerere"? Lakini pia uwe mwenye haki unapozungumzia "wenye TANU" hhivi watu wa Mwanza siyo wenye TANU? hivi Nyerere siyo miongoni mwa wenye TANU? au TANU ilikuwa ni ya "wazee" wako na wengine wamewekwa pembeni. Ukiwakatalia wengine na wewe mwenyewe jifunze kujikatalia kupandikiza mbegu za ulaghai wa maneno.

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Huyo mdogo wake.

Kwa hiyo mdogo wake hajui nani aliiasisi TANU kwamba ni Kakake huko Burma? na siyo Nyerere na wapigania uhuru wengine 16?

 

[Mohamed Said]

Unakijua kisa cha Kasella Bantu kuhusu waasisi wa TANU na picha ya kuchakachuwa.

Mjadala bado mbichi kabisa watu wanapata darsa.

Ritz,

Mzee Kassela Bantu kwa kweli amemaliza maisha yake na kaingia kaburini
na kinyongo kikubwa sana dhidi ya wale waliokuwa madarakani.

Nilipata bahati ya kumtembelea nyumbani kwake Barabara ya Mwinjuma,
Mwananyamala.

Nilipata pia kuwa na mazungumzo na yeye nyumbani kwa Chief Abdallah
Said Fundikira.

Hebu soma hapa chini:

[TABLE="class: MsoNormalTable"]
[TR]
[TD] There is a very famous photograph of TANU founding members.

In that photograph three founder members are out of sight; Ally Sykes, Tewa Said Tewa and Kasella Bantu.

These were civil servants and in the British tradition of separation of politics from civil service government, employees were not allowed to participate in politics.

Any African who contravened that sacred regulation was liable for summary dismissal.

Therefore when the photograph was taken the three opted out.

The photograph was taken by Gomes, a very famous Goan photographer in those days.

Abdulwahid had arranged for Gomes to come to the TAA headquarters to take the historic photograph.

Gomes did not come on time.

Getting impatient with waiting, Abdulwahid asked his young brother Abbas to go and fetch Gomes from his studio at Acacia Avenue (now Samora Avenue) in town center.

The only means of transport for TAA was a beaten old bicycle.

While Abbas was paddling towards the town center to fetch Gomes, the photographer came and took the group photograph.

And this is how Abbas Sykes missed the group photograph. [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 601"] But this famous photograph was not to escape controversy.

Mischievous hands tempered with it by cleverly inserting the face of Kasella Bantu in the original photograph.

Bantu's face has been inserted between Abdulwahid and Chief Patrick Kunambi.

It would have been understandable if Ally and Tewa's photographs were also inserted.

There are now so to speak two photographs of the same historic occasion.

The original copy with the three founder members out of sight; and the new one showing the inserted face of Kasella Bantu, but with two of the original TANU founder members, Ally and Tewa, missing.

Germano Pacha has commented that, if it were not for this photograph there would have been many TANU founder members other than the original seventeen who met in Dar es Salaam on 7 th July, 1954.

An interested observer has noted that: [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 601"] ''...(Bantu's) portrait in the historic photograph was inserted 20 years after it was taken, by the Photographic Unit at the University of Dar es Salaam in May 1974.

Second, his claim to have been the convenor of the founding conference typifies a man drunken with historical fantasy.

President Nyerere was elected TAA President in October 1953 to replace Kleist Sykes.

He was entrusted with the task of transforming TAA into a dynamic nationalist and independence movement.

Kasella Bantu's claim for credit is unsupported by history.'' [1] [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 601"] While the above information has helped to shed light on this controversy in Tanganyika's history, any person familiar with the history of the Party will not fail to notice some errors in the statement.

Julius Nyerere was elected president on 17 th April, 1953, and not in October, 1953; and Nyerere did not replace Kleist Sykes but his son Abdulwahid.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 601"] The Party can not dispute the fact that Kasella Bantu was among the seventeen founding members of TANU.

The Party can also not dispute the historical fact that he participated in the ‘drafting' [2] of the TANU constitution.

Kasella Bantu has, on every opportunity available, spoken about these two historic facts both while in exile abroad and at home after ending his exile.

Bantu, like many other veterans, feels that his contribution to Tanganyika's independence struggle has not been requited. [/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

[1] The present author has written a short article to clarify the controversy. See New African
(London) issues of March and May, 1985. The author's May article was in response to a March
article by Kasella Bantu.

[2]The TAA leadership did not draft a new constitution. The TANU constitution was copied from
Kwame Nkrumah's Convention Peoples' Party (CPP), substituting TANU for CPP. Information from
Tewa Said Tewa.

[Mohamed Said]

Mzee Said uwe mkweli basi na mwenye haki; hivi ni nani kati yetu ambaye amewahi kudai hata mara moja kuwa hhistoria "ianze na Nyerere"? Lakini pia uwe mwenye haki unapozungumzia "wenye TANU" hhivi watu wa Mwanza siyo wenye TANU? hivi Nyerere siyo miongoni mwa wenye TANU? au TANU ilikuwa ni ya "wazee" wako na wengine wamewekwa pembeni. Ukiwakatalia wengine na wewe mwenyewe jifunze kujikatalia kupandikiza mbegu za ulaghai wa maneno.

MM,

Unataka kunambia nini?

Historia ya Kivukoni College hata kwa
mbali iliwataja wazee wangu?

Ingekuwaje leo kama nisingeandika
kitabu hiki?

Nasubiri jibu lako.

 

[Mohamed Said]

Kwa hiyo mdogo wake hajui nani aliiasisi TANU kwamba ni Kakake huko Burma? na siyo Nyerere na wapigania uhuru wengine 16?

MM,

Unachosha na kuchusha.
Si tulia nikupe darsa?

Usiniulize maswali kama hayo
si hata mwenyewe unaweza
kujijibu?

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

MM,

Unataka kunambia nini?

Historia ya Kivukoni College hata kwa
mbali iliwataja wazee wangu?

Ingekuwaje leo kama nisingeandika
kitabu hiki?

Nasubiri jibu lako.

Mzee Said ndio maana nazema uwe mkweli; hivi ni sisi ndio tulioandika hiyo historia ya Kivukoni? Madai yako hapo juu unatuhumu sisi tunaobishana nao kudai kuwa historia "ianzie na Nyerere" tu. Hakuna hata mmoja wetu ambaye anajua historia ya Tanganyika ambaye kwa dhamiri safi anaweza kudai hivyo. Kama tatizo lako ni historia ya Kivukoni inabidi uende Kivukoni kuwalaumu wao na kama walioandika hiyo historia ya Kivukoni ni wana CCM basi ugomvi wako uwe na CCM na siyo na kila Mtanzania anayepinga hoja dhako dhaifu na historia ambayo umeipindisha.

Ni wewe umesema

Sasa ndugu zetu wao wameshikilia tu historia ianze na Nyerere
1954 na TANU hiyo TANU wenye TANU yao wasitajwe.

sasa hawa "ndugu" zenu ni kina nani? Sijaona hadi hivi sasa mtu wa Kivukoni akijadiliana na wewe; tunaona watu wanaojadiliana na wewe na kupinga historia yako wengi siyo wana CCM na hivyo hawawezi kuwa wawakilishi wa Kivukoni kwani wanaokuunga mkono ni wana CCM au mashabiki wa CCM (Kivukoni) na hivyo hao wameshasahihisha. Sasa kama unaposema "ndugu zako" una maana sisi tunaobishana na wewe basi uwe mkweli na mwenye kupenda haki - hakuna hata mmoja wetu ambaye amedai kuwa historia ya TANU inaanza na Nyerere au kuwa Nyerere alikuwa peke yake katika kupigania Uhuru.

Tunachosema kuhusu Nyerere kiko wazi na hadi hivi sasa katika histohisia yako hujaweza kukipinga:

• a. Nyerere ndiye alikuwa kinara wa harakati za kupigania Uhuru baada ya kutoka Uingereza
• b. Nyerere alishirikiana na wapigania uhuru wengine kuhamasisha umma - yeye akiwa kiongozi wao
• c. Nyerere kutokana na umahiri wa uwezo wake, uthubutu wa maono yake na kina cha fikra zake alipendwa na wazee wetu akiwa kijana na hivyo walimuamini kama kiongozi wao - japo wangeweza kupata watu wengine.
• d. Nyerere ndiye alikuwa Rais wa kwanza wa TANU na ni kutokana na juhudi zake binafsi alihamasisha wananchi wengi kujiunga na TANU kuliko waliowahi kuwemo kwenye TAA matokeo yake ni TANU kufanya vizuri kwenye uchaguzi wa kura tatu na hata chaguzi za baadaye kama ule wa 1965
• e. Nyerere katika kupigania uhuru aliheshimu Waislamu, Uislamu na alishirikiana na Waislamu kwa umakini mkubwa. Hakuna rekodi yeyote - iwe ya maneno, picha au sauti - ambapo Nyerere amewahi kunukuliwa akitoa neno baya dhidi ya Uislamu au Waislamu - kabla ya kupigania Uhuru, wakatiw wa kupigania uhuru, mara baada ya uhuru au wakati wote wa utawala wake na baadaye.

Mzee Said hayo mambo matano (kati ya mengine mengi) ndiyo tunayoyasema. Nikuulize wewe lipi kati ya hayo matano si ya kweli kuhusu Nyerere? Nasubiri jibu lako.

 

[Mag3]

Ritz, nimeingia nimekuta umenitajataja mara nyingi tu lakini ngoja nikutoe hofu...tofauti kubwa kati yangu na wewe ni kuwa mimi ni binadamu anayehitaji kufanya kazi, kupumzika, kulala na akiamka awe fresh aweze kutumia vizuri akili zake alizopewa na Muumba wake. Kwanza, mimi si kipaza sauti wa mchochezi kama Mohamed Said, hilo moja na la pili ni kuwa nazisoma hizi hekaya zake kama ambavyo ningesoma za alfu lela ulela...they are entertaining but just a collection of cooked stories...neither true nor relevant.

Mohamed Said hakimbilii tena kumnukuu John Iliffe, you wanna know why? I bet you dont! Kwa sasa anahangaika akijaribu kumnukuu Judith Listowel ambaye mwanzoni hakutaka kabisa kukubaliana na aliyoandika, you wanna know why? I bet you dont! Ameulizwa kwa nini hajaweza kuwahoji wazee waliokuwapo na bado wako hai lakini kama kawaida ya muongo hilo hathubutu kulifanya, you wanna know why? I bet you dont! Salama yake iko katika kuwanukuu marehemu ambao wametangullia mbele ya haki! I can bet, even that, you dont wanna know why!

Tazama hapa chini huyu mchochezi alivyoumbuliwa na maandishi ya John Iliffe;

Wanaweza kupitia vitabu na paper za John Iliffe kuhusu AA kujiridhisha ikiwa watapenda. Cecil Matola kuwa ni muasisi mkuu wa AA hapana. Kleist Sykes alitawala historia ya Dar es Salaam katika miaka ile hadi 1949 alipofariki kwa sababu ya mambo mengi kubwa likuwa elimu yake na uwezo wake wa fedha.

The African Associations concern for unity arose from its founders' experience. Its first President was Mwalimu Cecil Matola, the aristocratic Yao teacher educated at Kiungani who worked in Kenya before becoming a pioneer of TTACSA and senior African teacher at the Dar es Salaam government school, which made him almost ex-officio leader of the capital's educated Africans. The first association's inaugural meeting took place in his house and he remained its President until he died in March 1931.. Through him the African Association inherited Kiungani's supra-tribal unity and the predominance which its former pupils enjoyed during the 1920s.

Baada ya kuumbuliwa na hayo maandishi, Mohamed Said karudia kule kule (in his shell)!...katika utetezi wake anapobanwa, hakimbilii tena kumnukuu John Iliffe, hapana, anajinukuuu yeye mwenyewe na kujaza page za JF na porojo zake za toka utotoni, porojo zile zile tunazozipinga kuwa hazina ukweli wowote. Lakini cheerleader wake mkuu Ritz halali wala hapumziki, anakesha hapa JF akipiga filimbi kwa kuzirudiarudia hizo ngano za mwalimu wake...hakika inachosha.

Ritz, ungekuwa unatusoma sisi tunaompinga huyu mchochezi ungegundua tofauti moja kati yetu naye...wakati sisi tunahubiri upendo, umoja na amani kama Watanzania, yeye kajikita katika kuwagawa Watanzania katika misingi ya dini akijitahidi kupandikiza mbegu za chuki miongoni mwetu. Sijui kama patakalika siku atakapokutana uso kwa uso na Mmanyema Mkristo na ni bahati ilioje kuwa mpaka wakati huu anazeeka hiyo balaa haijawahi kumfika, alhamdulilahi!

hapo ndipo palipo na ngoma; watetezi wa Mohammed Said watakapogundua kuwa wameuziwa pakacha tupu la histohisia hawataweza kujirudi na kusema tulipotoshwa; watatokomea mmoja mmoja...

MM,

Mdomo haumkatai bwana wake.
Waislam leo wanajua ukweli wa masahibu yote waliyoyapata.

Wamenisoma mimi.
Wamemsoma Bergen.

Wamemsoma Sivalon.
Wamemsoma Njozi.

Wanajua kuwa Sheikh Hassan bin Amir
hakutaka kupindua serikali ya Nyerere
bali ugomvi ni kuwa alikuwa akiongoza
juhudi za Waislam kujijengea taasisi za
elimu.

Waislam wanajua kwa nini EAMWS kwa
shinikizo la Kanisa ilipigwa marufuku.

Wanawajua leo mashujaa waliopigania
uhuru...

Na mengi.

Ikiwa huu ni uchochezi napokea lawama
hizo kwa tabasamu na mikono miwili.

Sina dhima kwa Waislam ni juu yao baada
ya kuujua ukweli kufanya juhudi kuondoa
dhulma.

Mag3,

Husemi kweli.

Ndiyo nakuambia kabla hujaja ukumbini na kukaa
jamvini soma kwanza.

Vipi mimi niwakwepe Listowe na Illife ilhali wao ndiyo
wenye taarifa ambazo nikiziunganisha na zangu msomaji
anapata picha ya rangi?

Naona kila ukitaja jina langu hamaki zinakupanda "huyu
mchochezi" imekuwa "signature tune" yako.

Huu ni mjadala tu hapana haja ya ukali.

Juzi nilialikwa kwenye semina Chuo Kikuu Cha Dar es Salaam
na wengi walihudhuria kunisikiliza.

Mengine utamalizana na Ritz.

MM,

Huko mimi nimepita miaka mingi sana.
Hayo usemayo si muhimu kamwe.

Kitabu changu kimebadili historia hiyo.
Kuijadili na wewe hii leo hakuna tija.

Unachosha sana,huwezi kujibu hoja nzito unakimbilia kusema Mzee Mwanakijiji anachosha wakati wewe ndo unayechosha hapa

 

[Gwalihenzi]

JK,

Uislam ni nema na ndiyo maana nashukuru.

Wala siwezi kuona aibu kukwambia maneno
haya.

Mimi nakutamania na wewe nema hii uipate.

Hii ndiyo maana yangu ya kusema Alhamdulilah
kuwa watu wa kabila langu wanayo hii nema.

Mohamed, hapo ndipo tatizo na ubabaishaji wako unapoanzia. Kila mtu ana imani na dini yake na kwamba imani yake hiyo ndio sahihi kuliko imani nyingine. Ili tukae na kwa amani tulionayo katika nchi yetu, inatupasa kutoachana na uchochezi wako kwamba uislam ndio pekee na asie muislam kaikosa neema.

 

[Nguruvi3]

Ritz,

Hawa wazee walifanya kazi kubwa kuikomboa Tanganyika.
Hiyo hapo ni 1951.

Sasa ndugu zetu wao wameshikilia tu historia ianze na Nyerere
1954 na TANU hiyo TANU wenye TANU yao wasitajwe.

Itawezekana vipi?

Mohamed, hebu nukuu au onyesha bandiko moja tu kuthibitisha kuwa watu wanataka historia ianze kwa TANU na kuishia kwa TANU.

Hicho kipande umekiweka makusudi kabisa kuonyesha kuwa mwaka 1951 wazee wako walikuwa na ABCD. Fair enough! na zaidi ya hapo kuonyesha kuwa mwaka 1951 ni mwaka mmoja tu tangu Nyerere afundishwe siasa na Sykes.
Pamoja na kukuwekea ushahidi usio na shaka bado unaamini kuwa Nyerere aliingizwa katika siasa na Sykes kwa mantiki ya 1951.

Hapo ndipo historia yako inapokuwa mbovu kuliko ya TANU na sioni kama kuna marekebisho unless mtu aamue kujilazimisha kukubaliana nawe.

Hapo Juu Sykes anasema yeye ni mmoja wa founders wa TANU, sasa hii ya wazee wako ilikuwa TANU ipi?
Hata kama ilikuwa ya TAA na Nyerere ni mzee wako? maana aliwahi kuwa katibu wa tawi.
Kama itaanzia 1929 Cecil Matola naye alikuwa mzee wako maana ndiye mwenye AA

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Ndio ujanja wako mzee Said; huupendi ukweli, unauogopa kwa sababu unatisia simulizi lako. Yaani ata kumpa Nyerere haki yake ya kihhistoria unaona unampa asichostahili..

Listen,when We speak, We don't speak as Muslims.,and Mohamed Said Supporters. Nor Nyerere-Haters. We speak as victims of Tanzania's so-called True History. You and I have never seen Our true history - all we've seen is hypocrisy. When we open our eyes today and look around Our Tanzania, we see Tanzania not through the eyes of someone who has enjoyed the fruits of Nationalism. We see Tanzania through the eyes of someone who has been the victim of Nationalism. We don't see any Tanzania. We've experienced only the Tanzanian nightmare..

You just dont want to accept it...

Mag3, mnafiki ni chakula ya mamba leo hii unasema wewe na wenzako kuwa mnahubiri upendo, na umoja tofauti na Mohamed Said anahubiri uchochezi.

Sisi wewe na wenzako ndiyo mnasema hawa Waislam hawana akili za kuongoza wana akili za madrasa tu na kazi yao kukaa vibarazani ni kunywa gahawa.

Sisi wewe ndiyo ulisema hujawahi kuwasikia hawa wazee wa gerezani toka mwaka 1961 upo shule umekuja kuwasikia leo inamaana hawakupigania uhuru Mohamed Said anadanganya hawa wazee hawakuwepo.

Si wewe na wenzako mnakesha JF kuwakejeli na kuwadhihaki Waislam kuwa hawataki kusoma wajinga.

Alichofanya Mohamed Said ni kuandika historia iliyofichwa kuhusu harakati za Waislam dhidi ya ukololoni wa Waingereza katika Tanganyika.

Wewe na wenzako mlivyokuwa na chuki dhidi ya Uislam na Waislam ndiyo mnaita uchochezi.

MM,

Unataka kunambia nini?

Historia ya Kivukoni College hata kwa
mbali iliwataja wazee wangu?

Ingekuwaje leo kama nisingeandika
kitabu hiki?

Nasubiri jibu lako.

Unataka kutuambia kwamba kama wewe usingeandika, ukweli wa wazee wako kushiriki katika mapambano kama watanganyika na sio kama waislam ungebadilika?
