"Nyambala"
Mohamed Said sijui mpaka lini utaendelea kupotosha ukweli kuhusu hili jambo, Nilishakueleza hili mjadala ule wa 2010/2011) na ukakiri huku ukiendelea kusisitiza eti msukumo mwingine ulitokana na hadithi zako. Haya narudia tena kukuelezea historia ya wazo la uandishi wa biografia ya Nyerere lilikujaje: This is an extract kutoka gazeti lile lile lilochapisha makala zako kwa wiki tatu mfululizo - The East African, October 26, 1999.
"Tanzania's founder president and father of the nation , the late Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, died before his autobiography could begin.
Prof. Ahmed Mohiddin, a former academician, told the East African that three people himself, Prof Haroub Othman, now live in Liberia, and former ambassador Ferdinand Ruhinda one of mwalimu's confidants had earlier approached the late Mwalimu to seek his consent.
He had initially agreed, on that and Prof Othman was to meet him in August 12, 1999 so that we could work on strategy on how we were going to do it. I think he knew his disease was fatal.
Prof Mohiddin who describes Mwalimu as the last revolutionary, said it is sad that he departed without it.
Ambassador Ruhinda said in Dar, "We were going to sit with him whenever he had time, and write his own words and then he would go through the manuscript and correct it because we wanted it to be his own work. It is just bad that he departed before the project could take off"
He added "Actually we were just going to assist him to write, but not for us to write for him; there are so many books that have been written about him that we wanted one from himself.
The three writers who had worked on a framework for the Nyerere Autograph now have daunting task ahead. "We will have to reorganize ourselves and the work. But it will never be the same again."
Bahati mbaya na Prof Othman akafariki pia, "kama kawa MS akaanza kuchomeka ngano zake".
