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

[Mohamed Said]

Hivi kweli Rais wa NCHI anaweza kuhangaika kujua nani apate medali? Awape medali hata waliompelekea maharage na dagaa kule Magomeni? Masuala ya medali hayaandaliwi na ofisi ya Rais jamani. Nchi haiendeshwi hivi. Hata familia zetu sio kilakitu ni baba.

WC,

Medali zile alitunuku Nyerere mwenyewe na kuna mambo wewe
huyajui.

Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ile ya Medali yu hai ingawa sasa hivi
amestaafu.

Alimuuliza mbona watu fulani hawamo?

Nakupa changamoto tafuta jina la mwenyekiti huyi na uwajuvye
wanajamvi.

Ukilijua jina hilo kuna mengi utayapata.

 

[Yericko Nyerere]

WC,

Unasema sijzungumzia elimu ya Abdulwahid Sykes.

Nitaanza na elimu ya baba yake, Kleist Sykes pamoja na ndugu zake wengine aliolelewanao:


[TABLE="class: MsoNormalTable"]
[TR]
[TD] ''Kleist was enrolled in a German school which was located at the Ocean Road Hospital where he learnt German, typing and shorthand, a rare and precious skills for an African to acquire at that time.

In the household of Affendi Plantan, Kleist was raised with Affande Plantan’s own children, Schneider Abdillah, Ramadhani Mashado and Thomas Sauti a child of a distant relative.

All these children received a good education which enabled them to become important personalities in Dar es Salaam.

Mashado Plantan was employed as a policeman with the title of ‘English-Speaking Policeman’ and later became editor of his own newspapers. His first paper was Dunia.

During the Second World War he founded a newspaper Zuhra.
This was TAA's mouth piece and later TANU and Nyerere's.Thomas Sauti became a school teacher, Schneider was a farmer and later in his life joined Sheikh Hassan bin Amir to became secretary of Daawat Islamiyya (Muslim Call).

Kleist beat them all. He excelled more than his brothers.

He became a man of ideas and a founder of various organisations.

But above all Kleist left a legacy.

His name would come to be associated with the struggle of the people of Tanganyika against colonial oppression.''
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Sasa tuje kwa Abdulwahid Sykes:

[TABLE="class: MsoNormalTable"]
[TR]
[TD] ''Abdulwahid-the name means the ‘servant of one and only’ meaning Allah-was the grandson of Sykes Mbuwane, a lone wanderer who laid down his life in Tangayika, serving the Germans.

In school Abdulwahid was always on top of his class.

After completing his lower primary education at Al Jamiatul Muslim School he was selected to join Dar es Salaam Government School where he was taught by Mwalimu Mdachi Sharifu.

Sharifu was the President of Tanganyika Territory African Civil Services Association (TTACSA).

Abdulwahid completed standard ten, did his qualifying examination for Makerere College and passed.

On considering his father’s political background, the colonial government refused to recommend Abdulwahid for Makerere entrance on the pretext that the candidate was under age.

Abdulwahid was at that time seventeen years old.

He was considered underage to pursue studies at Makerere but old enough to be conscripted into the King’s African Rifles (KAR).''[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Sasa kwa hali ilivyo leo hotuba ya Nyerere haina maana yoyote kwa Waislam.

Mwaka huo 1995 wakati Nyerere anatoa hotuba hiyo mimi nilialikwa na Muzdalifa
kuhutubia mkusanyiko wa Waislam Mnazi Mmoja katika kuadhimishwa mwaka mpya wa Kiislam.

Katika hotuba yangu ile ndiye kwa mara ya kwanza niliposikia jambo ambao si kuwa lilinishtua
bali niliona kama niko kwenye ndoto.

Hili jambo sipendi kulisema na ni katika mambo yanayosikitisha sana.

Hivi unajua ukilitaja jina la Nyerere Waislam wanamlaani?
Wanasema, ''Laanatullah.''

Siku ile mwaka 1995 ndiyo kwa mara ya kwanza niliposikia Waislam wanamlaani Nyerere.

Hapa ndipo tulipoifikisha nchi yetu.
Haitotusaidia sisi kujifanya mambo yote ni shwari.

Hata kama utaweka hotuba elfu za Nyerere hakuna Muislam atakezipatiliza.

Naamini hotuba hiyo hainamaana kwako tu kwakuwa inavuruga malengo yako, lakini usiwasemee waislamu wa Tanzania kuwa haina maana,

Angalia uongo huo uliotukuka ulivyo. Waislam wepi hao wanaomlaani Mwalimu? Abdulwahid akanyimwa kwenda Makerere at the of 17! Alifikaje hiyo standard 10 katika umri huo mdogo? Mtu wa standard 10 anamwandikia hotuba mtu mwenye M.A ya Edimburgh! Kweli?

 

[Mohamed Said]

Ushahidi wa uchochezi wake nimeuweka hapo juu ya mada kuu wenye rangi ya bluu ambao ni hotuba stahiki ya Baba wa Taifa Mwalimu Nyerere inayopingana moja kwa moja na madai ya Mohamed Said kwa kila neno mfano, Mohamed alisema Mwalimu alisema hakumbuki Abdul alikuwa na cheo gani, lakini Hotuba hiyo imetufichulia ukweli kuwa Mwalimu alisema wazi kuwa Abdul alikuwa Katibu wa TAA!

Je unataka ushahidi gani kudhihirisha uongo na uchochezi wa Mohamed Said?

Yericko,

Kwangu mie si lazima kusikiliza ile hotuba kwani nishaisikia.

Ili wewe udhihirishe kuwa mimi ni muongo ni lazima, ni muhimu
sana tena sana kabisa utuwekee clip jamvini tuisikilize.

Hivi ndivyo nilivyoandika katika kitabu changu, ''The Life and
Times of Abdulwahid Sykes...'':

Nyerere himself has never talked about this election
or how he came to lead the Party in Dar es Salaam.

The nearest he got to reflect on Abdulwahid was in
the farewell speech to Elders of Dar es Salaam, and
unfortunately his memory failed him as he could
not recall what post Abdulwahid was occupying
when he (Nyerere) joined TAA in 1952.

 

[zomba]

Ndugu yangu pembuka basi,

Kitabu alichokuja nacho ndicho ninachokipinga na nimekuja na vielelezo mbadala kama vile Hotuba ya baba wa Taifa, na historia ya usharika wa kanisa katika Ukombozi wa Tanganyika ambavyo kwako na wenzio vilikuwa vigeni kabisa!

Iko wapi hiyo hotuba? si ulisema utaileta mara ooh, wanataka pesa tukakupa offer kuwa wewe sema tu pesa ngapi sisi tutakulipia, mpaka sasa umeshindwa. Umebandika maandiko yako unayodai kuwa ni hotuba, nayo pia hayajaonesha ni wapi Mohamed Said alipofanya uchochezi wala dhihaka. Sana sana hayo mabandiko uliyoweka yanakusuta wewe mwenyewe, hujaona palipoandikwa kuwa hata jina la TANU walikuja nalo kina Sykes kutoka walipokuwa Burma?

Ukipeleka mahala shutuma inatakiwa utoe na ushahidi, huna mpaka sasa huo ushahidi na shutuma zako kwa lugha ya kitaalam ni "futile".

Unalo? kaa upate darsa kutoka kwa Mohamed Said ujuwe hii nchi imetoka wapi.

Hapa ni JF. Weka jina la huyo Mwenyekiti. Mimi siwezi kulipata. Vinginevyo, hii nayo ni "ngano" ya kawaida ikiwa ni muendelezo wa mashambulizi yako yasiyo na ushahidi kwa Mwalimu.

 

[zomba]

Naamini hotuba hiyo hainamaana kwako tu kwakuwa inavuruga malengo yako, lakini usiwasemee waislamu wa Tanzania kuwa haina maana,

Ina maana ipi baada ya kuiuwa nchi kwa miaka 24 mfululizo?

 

[WildCard]

Ina maana ipi baada ya kuiuwa nchi kwa miaka 24 mfululizo?

Laanatullah zomba. Mwalimu kaacha nchi bikra kabisa hii. Mnachinjana wenyewe sasa hivi badala ya kuchinja ng'ombe na mbuzi.

 

[Mohamed Said]

Angalia uongo huo uliotukuka ulivyo. Waislam wepi hao wanaomlaani Mwalimu? Abdulwahid akanyimwa kwenda Makerere at the of 17! Alifikaje hiyo standard 10 katika umri huo mdogo? Mtu wa standard 10 anamwandikia hotuba mtu mwenye M.A ya Edimburgh! Kweli?

WC,

Mimi siwezi kusema uongo.

Ni haki yako kushangaa vipi alimaliza darasa la 10 katika
umri mdogo kama ule.

Mimi nimeshangazwa na mengi ya marehemu Abdu Sykes.

Moja wapo ni kuona shajara zake (diaries) alizokuwa akiziandika
kwa hati mkato wakati wa kuunda TANU kati ya 1950 - 1954.

Hilo la kusema darasa la kumi kuandika hotuba nadhani unaandika
hivyo kwa kukosa kujua wakati ule elimu ilikuwa ya kiwango gani.

Jitulize na soma utajua.
Usifanye haraka ya kuandika ikiwa huna elimu ya kile unachokiandika.

Nakuombeni msome vizuri post zangu ninapozungumzia haya mambo
ambayo nyingi yanakuchomeni nyoyo zenu.

Hii document asili yake ni TAA Political Sub Commitee iliyoundwa mwaka
1950.

Wajumbe wa Kamati hii ni hawa wafuatao:

1. Mufti Sheikh Hassan bin Amir
2. Abdulwahid Sykes
3. Dk. Vedasto Kyaruzi
4. Hamza Mwapachu
5. Said Chaurembo
6. John Rupia
7. Steven Mhando

Kamati hii ilikuwa na mwanasheria wake Earle Seaton.

Ukipenda unaweza kumtia Seaton kama mjumbe wa nane wa TAA Political
Subcommittee.

Seaton aliisaidia sana TAA katika mawasiliano yake na serikali ya kikoloni.

Seaton ndiyo aliandika ile petition ya Meru Citizens Union kwenda UNO katika
ule mgogoro wa Meru Land Case mwaka 1952.

Abdu Sykes ndiye aliyemleta Seaton TAA.
Walikuwa marafiki wa muda mrefu.

Katika kitabu changu nimeandika maneno haya:

The author was for the first time informed of the existence
of this document by one of Mwapachu's children, Juma Volter
Mwapachu.

He was informed that Mwapachu took great pridein having
participated in the drafting of this document.

In her book Listowel mentioned this document and its historical
significance to the political history of Tanganyika.

But it was Pratt who analysed the document in detail.

The document was first consulted by Pratt in 1959 in a file of the
Committee on ‘Constitutional Development Report/and Despatches
to the Secretary of State' no. 1146-6, Dar es Salaam Secretariat Library.

Although this file is available at the Tanzania National Archives, the
document is missing.

The author was informed that a microfilm of the document was available
but that too could not be traced.

For more information on loss of historical documents see M. Said,
‘In Praise of Ancestors Revisited' in Africa Events, London March,
1989, pp. 50-51.

Hivi kweli Rais wa NCHI anaweza kuhangaika kujua nani apate medali? Awape medali hata waliompelekea maharage na dagaa kule Magomeni? Masuala ya medali hayaandaliwi na ofisi ya Rais jamani. Nchi haiendeshwi hivi. Hata familia zetu sio kilakitu ni baba.

Kwa hiyo WildCard ni uongo Nyerere akutoa Medali Ikulu.

Hapa ni JF. Weka jina la huyo Mwenyekiti. Mimi siwezi kulipata. Vinginevyo, hii nayo ni "ngano" ya kawaida ikiwa ni muendelezo wa mashambulizi yako yasiyo na ushahidi kwa Mwalimu.

WC,

Mimi kama ninavyosema.
Siko humu kufanya ubishi.

Kwani ikiwa JF ndiyo nini?
Ndiyo iniondolee muruwa wangu?

Niko hapa kueleza yale niyajuayo.

Ikiwa toka awali sikutaka kuweka jina
la Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Medali ni
kwa kuwa nilikuwa na sababu.

 

[Mohamed Said]

Naamini hotuba hiyo hainamaana kwako tu kwakuwa inavuruga malengo yako, lakini usiwasemee waislamu wa Tanzania kuwa haina maana,

Yericko,

Mimi sina tatizo.

Azma yangu ni kueleza ukweli niisaidie
nchi yangu.

 

[zomba]

Laanatullah zomba. Mwalimu kaacha nchi bikra kabisa hii. Mnachinjana wenyewe sasa hivi badala ya kuchinja ng'ombe na mbuzi.

Kwi kwi kwi teh teh teh, unajionesha upeo wako. Wala huwa sitatizwi na hayo, unajuwa kuwa kwetu Kariakoo?

 

[Mohamed Said]

Angalau nakufahamu kidogo Mzee Mohamed. Mtu ambaye hakuwa upande wa wazee wako huyo lazima alikuwa kibaraka wa wakoloni. Mtu ambaye alikuwa upande wa Mwalimu, hata kama ni Muislam mwenzako kama akina Rashid Kawawa, huyo naye ni kibaraka wa mfumokristo! Mtu wa ajabu sana mzee wewe ambaye unadhani uko sahihi wakati wote.

WC,

Hayo maneno unasema wewe.

Maandishi yangu yako wazi peupe yanasomwa
kwingi.

Una haki ya kuamini upendavyo.

 

[Boko haram]

Laanatullah zomba. Mwalimu kaacha nchi bikra kabisa hii. Mnachinjana wenyewe sasa hivi badala ya kuchinja ng'ombe na mbuzi.

Wewe kweli ndio mjinga eti unalaani waulize wenye kuujua uislamu kama mtu analaaniwa kirahisi hivyo kungekuwa na fimbo ya kumcharaza mtu viboko ningeanza na wewe, Nchi bikra ndio watu wanunue sukari kwa foleni tv tukaangalie kwa jirani mimi nakumbuka kombe la dunia tulikuwa tunaenda kuangalia kenya huyu baba ahhh si mpatii picha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huyo wala asikushughulishe, darsa limemuingia na sasa anapingana na nafsi yake.

 

[Ngongo]

Mzee wangu Mohamed Said umesema mwenyewe Abdulwahid Sykes kamaliza std 10.Hivi unajua Mwl kipindi hicho tayari alikuwa na MA na alikuwa na uwezo mkubwa kumzidi A Sykes sasa unapotundanganya hata makabrashi (hotuba) Mwl kaandikiwa huoni huko ni kukidhalilisha kitabu chako.

 

[WildCard]

Kwa hiyo WildCard ni uongo Nyerere akutoa Medali Ikulu.

Kutoa medali kitu kingine na kuandaa orodha ya watakaopewa hizo medali suala jingine. Jamani, tujifunze jinsi serikali na vyombo vyake vinavyofanyakazi. Nikuulize swali moja Ritz: Ni Jakaya Kikwete aliyemkatalia dhamana Sheikh Ponda? Kwa nini yooote yaliyofanyika wakati wa Mwalimu lawama zooote anabebeshwa yeye?

 

[Yericko Nyerere]

Unalo? kaa upate darsa kutoka kwa Mohamed Said ujuwe hii nchi imetoka wapi.

Hujaiona na kuisoma hiyo hotuba hapo juu ya rangi ya bluu?

Ajabu unauliza hiyo hotuba lakini unauliza swali linalotoka ndani ya hotuba hiyohiyo,

Kwakukujbu swali lako, naomba nikuulize swali:

Mtoto huzaliwa ndipo apewe jina au hupewa jina kabla ya kuzaliwa?

Ukijibu, ndilo jibu la swali lako mkuu!

 

[WildCard]

WC,

Achana kabisa na habari za kuokoteza vijiweni. Hauna ushahidi juu ya hili la mwenyekiti wa kamati ya medali. Ni aibu kwa mtu mzima kama wewe. Lolote linalosemwa vibaya kumhusu Mwalimu hii ni habari kubwa kwako. Wanaokufahamu wanajua unataka uambiwe nini kumhusu Mwalimu. Wanajua unachotaka ukisikie kwa Mwalimu.
