Mohamed Said;5510615]Nyerere alikuwa mgeni kabisa mjini Dar es Salaam na kama ilivyokuwa mazoea, Kasella Bantu alimpeleka Nyerere kwa Abdulwahid kumtambulisha na vilevile akutane na watu wengine maarufu wa pale mjini. Mbali na Dossa Aziz aliyekutana na Nyerere kwa muda mfupi katika mkutano mkuu wa TAA Aprili 1946, Kasella Bantu mwenyewe na Denis Phombeah, hakuna mtu mwingine mbali ya hao hapo makao makuu ya TAA aliyewahi kusikia habari za Nyerere.
Wanajamvi, kumbukeni kuwa huu ulikuwa mkutano mkuu wa TAA April 1946. Ni matarajio kuwa mkutano mkuu ulihudhuriwa na wajumbe kutoka makao makuu. Kama nimeelewa vema mkutano mkuu ulihudhuriwa na Kasella, Dossa na Phombeah. Sasa soma hii tena
Mohamed:
In 1946 while at Tabora, Mwapachuwas elected African AssociationSecretary with Julius Nyerere as his deputy. This was the time when theMakerere intellectuals [1] had started to show interest in theAssociation
Kumbe basi Nyerere alishaanza siasa akiwa katibu wa AA Tawi la Tabora. Kwa vile alikuwa katibu wa tawi muhimu namna hiyo vipi baadaye TAA makao makuu wasiwe wamesikia habari zake?
Mohamed:When some of the Makerere graduates such as Mwapachu were thinking about effectingpolitical change in Tanganyika through TAA, Abdulwahidhad already built his own political power base in the politics of Dar es Salaam mainly from the influenceof his father who had founded the African Association in 1929
Hapa Mohamed anakiri kuwa wanafunzi wa Makerere akiwemo Mwapachu na Nyerere tayari walikuwa katika msisimko wa kisiasa. Anaendelea
Mohamed:Abdulwahid, on the other hand, was a person of charisma, integrity, andselflessness, who soon won the confidence of the Makerere intellectuals andslowly integrated them in the politics of the municipality
Kwamba alichofanya Abdu Sykes si kuwaingiza katika siasa ili waanze kama anavyodai Mohamed katika majibu mengine bali kuwashirikisha katika siasa za jiji.
Mohamed:It became a tradition that whenever a young man from up-country came totown, he would be taken by his acquaintances to Abdulwahids house at Stanley Street to pay homage and receivehis first political orientation
Hapa Mohamed anamlenga Nyerere kwa kusema kila aliyetoka bara alifika kwa Abdul Sykes ili kupata ufahamu wa siasa kwanza. Alichosahu ni kuwa Nyerere huyo huyo alikuwa katibu wa AA Tabora(kwa maneno yake) na alianza siasa tangu Makerere (kwa maneno yake Mohamed).
Hakuishia hapo aliendelea kumnanga Nyerere kama hivi
Mohamed:Nyerere alikuwa ndiyo kwanza amerudi kutoka masomoni Uingereza mwaka uliopita na alikuwa anataka kutulia aanze maisha. Vijana wenzake wa mjini aliowakuta katika siasa pale Dar es Salaam kama Abdulwahid na mdogo wake Ally, na Dossa Aziz walikuwa watu wenye uwezo wao na wakiishi ndani ya mji wao ukilinganisha na yeye mgeni, tena amekulia kijijin
Mohamed anasema
Mohamed:
Abdulwahids first move was to form what was known as TAA PoliticalSubcommittee[4] comprising himself as secretary;Sheikh Hassan bin Amir as the Mufti ofTanganyika; Dr Kyaruzi;Mwapachu; Said Chaurembo who wasthe liwali atKariakoo local court; John Rupia and Stephen Mhando.
Ahaa1 kumbe walikuwepo akina John Rupia,Stephen Mhando katika subcommitee, sasa iweje Mohamed atambe kuwa baraza la wazee wa TANU iliyokuja baada ya TAA ilikuwa na Waislam walioleta Uhuru? Halfu hapa tunaona majina zaidi ya yale ya Clement Mtamila na Vedastus Kyaruzi. So far kuna Rupia, Dunstan Omar, Stephen Mhando, Clement Mtamila. Sasa inakuwaje Mohamed aseme wazee wake ni waislam na si wazee wote? Mohamed is on offensive against Nyerere, soma hii
Mohamed:Nyerere alikuwa mwalimu wa Kikatoliki aliyekuzwa katika makuzi ya kunyenyekea kanisa na serikali. Vilevile Nyerere alikuwa chini ya ulezi wa Father Richard Walsh, aliyempatia nafasi ya masomo Scotland. Inasemekana Father Walsh alikuwa na ëushawishi wa kutosha juu ya maisha na fikraí za Nyerere.[1]Alimlea Nyerere na akamsaidia kupata nafasi ya kusoma nje ya nchi.
Katika hali kama hii haikutarajiwa kwa Nyerere asimame kuipinga serikali. Kanisa lilimtarajia afanye kazi ya ualimu katika moja ya shule zake nchini Tanganyika
Hapo Mohamed ametumbukiza ukatoliki wa Nyerere kwanza, kisha kumwekea maneno kwa kutumia neno ''inasemekana''. Mohamed hakuwahi kumhoji Nyerere lakini alifahamu vema kuwa alikuwa mnyenyekevu wa kanisa na Serikali ili kulinda kibarua chake. Ni Mohamed huyo huyo alitueleza kuwa akiwa Makerere na Tabora Nyerere tayari alikuwa katika siasa, kwanini basi aanze kuhofia kibarua, serikali na Kanisa alipofika Dar? Maana yake ni kutaka kumshusha katika watu waliopigania uhuru kama anavyosema hapa
Mohamed:Wakati ule Nyerere hakuwa na wa ujuzi wowote katika siasa ukimlinganisha na Abdulwahid. Wakati African Association Tabora kiliposhiriki katika mgomo wa mwaka 1947 Nyerere hakujihusisha na harakati zile za wafanyakazi ingawa yeye ndiye alikuwa katibu wa chama.
Halafu akaendelea na chuki dhidi ya Nyerere na dini yake
Mohamed:Nyerere alijua yeye akiwa Mkristo, kamwe hangeweza kujijengea nguvu ya siasa katika mazingira yale ya Dar es Salaam ya miaka ya 1950 ambako siasa zilitawaliwa na Waislam. Kwa sababu hii, Nyerere alisita kukubali shauri la kuongoza TAA
Hapa Mohamed anasahau kuwa Dr Vedastus Kyaruzi aliwahi kuwa kiongozi wa TAA licha ya Ukristo wake. Amewasahau akina John Rupia, Stephen Mhando na Clement Mtamila kuwa kwa Nayakati fulani walikuwa viongozi katika mji ule ule ambao Nyerere asingeweza kuwa kiongozi kwa ukristo wake.
Fikiria wakati unasoma, ukimeza bila kutafuna utajikuta umemeza ''Ngano'' kama si Mashudu.
