   Aziz Ali
   Kleist Sykes alikuwa na duka la vyakula Kipata Street sasa mtaa huo umepewa jina lake unaitwa Mtaa wa Kleist. Hizi zilikuwa juhudi za Kitwana Selemani Kondo alipokuwa Meya wa Dar es Salaam kuwaadhimisha watu maarufu wa waliopata kuishi Dar es Salaam na wakaitumikia jamii. Nilipata kumsikia Mzee Kondo akisema, ‘’Hivi vipi litawekwa jina la mtu ambae hana nasaba yoyote na mji wa Dar es Salaam katika mji huu na kuwaacha wenye mji wao?’’ Hakika jambo hilo halikughalis. Mzee Kondo aliendelea na kusema, ‘’Hivi jina la Matola kwa nini lisiwekwe Dodoma lije liwekwe Dar es Salaam na wakati huo huo wakawasahau wazee wetu wa Dar es Salaam?
   
   Turejee kwa Kleist Sykes. Hili duka lilikuwa nyumbani kwake na hapo ndipo ilipokuwa barza ya wazee maarufu wa mjini kukutana jioni inapoingia alasiri kuzungumza. Miaka ile Dar es Salaam kulikuwa na wauza kahawa wanapita mitaani na kahawa zao ndani ya madeli ya shaba yanayong’aa kwa kupigwa braso wakiuza kahawa na wao wenyewe wamevaa nadhifu, kikoi na kizubau na kofia kichwani. Basi baraza ile kila muuza kahawa akipita ataitwa na kuagizwa apige duru kwa wanabarza. Ikawa pale ile barza waungwana wale wanakunywa vikombe na vikombe vya kahawa hadi wanapoagana Maghrib inapoingia.
   
   Mmoja wa wanabarza wa barza hii alikuwa babu yangu Salum Abdallah ambae nyumba aliyokuwa anaishi ilikuwa inatazamana na nyumba ya Kleist. Hawa walikuwa si majirani tu bali hata kazi wanafanya pamoja Tanganyika Railways. Hii ilikuwa miaka ya mwanzo ya 1920. Kleist akiwa Karani wa Mahesabu na babu yangu Mfua Vyuma kwenye karakana ya Railway iliyokuwa Arab Street sasa Mtaa wa Nkrumah. Mle ndani kulikuwa na king’ora kikipigwa saa moja kamili asubuhi barabara na saa saba mchana. King’ora hiki cha Railway kiliwasaidia sana wakazi wa Kariakoo na Ilala kujua majira.
   
   Mtu mwingine maarufu katika ile barza alikuwa Aziz Ali, Mdigo kutoka Moa Tanga. Huyu Aziz Ali alikuwa mwamba katika miamba ya Dar es Salaam. Alikuwa tajiri ‘’contractor,’’ wa kujenga, majumba, Mwafrika wa kwanza kununua gari na kujenga nyumba ya vigae na vioo Mtoni. Nyumba hii hadi leo ipo na sehemu hiyo katika Kilwa Road inaitwa Mtoni kwa Aziz Ali. Lakini katika sifa hizi sifa yake kubwa sana Aziz Ali ilikuwa ujenzi wa misikiti na kuihudumia misikiti. Hii ilikuwa miaka ya 1930 na hapakuwa na umeme Kariakoo. Misikiti ilikuwa ikitumia karabai kuonea. Aziz Ali yeye alinunua karabai kwa kila msikiti na ikifika Maghrib mwanae Hamza alikuwa akizitia mafuta na kuziwasha kisha akizipeleka kila msikiti tayari kwa sala ya Maghrib. Inapomalizika sala ya Isha alikuwa anapita tena katika ile misikiti kukusanya karabai zake na kurudi nazo nyumbani kwao Mtaa wa Mbaruku na Kongo. Hii ndiyo ilikuwa kazi yake kila siku. Aziz Ali alipokufa mwaka wa 1951 miaka miwili baada ya kifo cha rafiki yake Kleist gazeti la Tanganyika Standard liliandika kifo chake kwa maneno haya: ‘’Aziz Ali the Builder of Mosques is Dead,’’ yaani, ‘’Aziz Ali Mjenzi wa Misikiti Amekufa.’’ Iko siku nilimtembela Rose Aziz mjukuu wa Aziz Ali, mtoto wa Hamza Aziz. Rose akanionyesha picha katika ukumbi wake ya mtu amevaa tarabushi akanambia, ‘’Mohamed unamuona mume wangu?’’ Nikiwa katika hali ya kushangaa huku nikiikodolea macho ile picha Rose akaendelea, ‘’Huyu babu yangu Aziz Ali.’’
   
   Aziz Ali alikuwa na nyumba nyingi sana Dar es Salaam na ndiyo zilikuwa moja ya utajiri wake. Katika nyumba hizi nyumba ambayo imaecha historia ya pekee ni hii nyumba ya Mtaa wa Mbaruku na Congo kwa sababu nyumba hii ilikuwa moja ya sehemu ambazo harakati za kupigania uhuru wa Tanganyika zilianza. Nyumba nyingine ilikuwa Mtaa wa Kipata kwa Ally Sykes, hapo zamani lilipokuwa duka la baba yake na barza ya wazee. Nyumba nyingine ilikuwa Stanley Street kwa Abdul Sykes. Nyumba hii ilikuwa pia ya Kleist na kulikuwa na duka la vifaa vya ujenzi katika uhai wake. Hii ilikuwa mwanzoni mwa mwaka wa 1950. Mambo yalipamba moto sana kuanzia mwaka huo pale vijana wazalendo walipoanza kufanya mipango ya kuunda chama cha siasa halisi kupambana na ukoloni wa Muingereza. Hizi ndizo zikawa nyumba ambazo Nyerere alikuwa akifika kuanzia mwaka wa 1952 kila anapokuja mjini kutokea Pugu alipokuwa akifundisha. Mama Ali mke wa Aziz Ali bado yu hai, Bi Mkubwa huyu ana mengi katika historia ya nyumba ile ya Mbaruku alipokuwa akiishi na mumewe katika miaka ile ya 1940 na akaendelea kuishi hapo na wanawe baada ya kifo cha mumewe. Hivi sasa Mama Ali anaishi Ilala na ni mtu mzima sana.

   Mtanganyika...
   Sijui ni kitu gani kimekughadhibisha hadi unatukana.
   
   Wala sijui zipi pumba katika haya ninayoandika kwani tumekuwa na mjadala
   mzuri tu na wengi wamechangia mengi yenye manufaa.
   
   Kuwa, ''tupo tupo,'' si sawa wala si kweli kusema hivyo.
   Sisi tunaishi kama wanavyoishi jamii nyingine katika nchi hii.
   
   Kuhusu kubadilisha kofia tunabadilisha kweli maana ni kivazi chetu kama watu
   wa pwani na kama Waislam wala havijabadilika rangi.
   
   Kuna wakati tunavaa kofia na kuna wakati hatuvai kofia.
   Nakuwekea kofia hapo chini na hebu onyesha hiyo iliyobadilika rangi:
   
   
   
   Ikiwa mimi unaniita ni msomi wa wajinga wewe kwa haya matusi yako na kejeli
   unazotoa tukuweke katika kundi gani?
   
   Angalia hapo chini na nionyeshe wajinga katika ya hao waliofungua milango
   yao kwangu:

   Mtanganyika...
   Utakumbuka nilikuambia kuwa kuna mtu aliniomba ruksa akutukane nami
   nikamkataza.
   
   Baada ya wewe kurejea tena hapa Majlis na matusi mara ya pili na mie kukupa
   jibu hilo hapo juu karejea tena na ombi lile lile...
   
   Nimemkatalia lakini nimemuahidi kukuandika na kukupa maelezo lao kwa ufupi
   kuhusu Hamza Mwapachu.
   
   Ikiwa umefuatilia darsa langu kuhusu tatizo lililotokea katika kuandika historia ya
   TANU ndani ya wana TANU wenyewe akiwemo Abdul Sykes, Julius Nyerere,
   Saadan Abdu Kandoro na Mwalimu Kihere utaona kuwa ilifika mahali Abdul
   Sykes jina lake liliondolewa kabisa katika historia ya TANU na likawa halitajwi wala
   kuhusishwa na siasa za kupigania uhuru wa Tanganyika.
   
   Ikawa hata ilipoandikwa historia ya TANU na Kivukoni College mwaka wa 1981
   haikuelezwa Nyerere alichukua uongozi wa TAA 1953 kutoka kwa nani.
   
   Lakini mimi nilipoandika kitabu cha Sykes nilieleza kwa kirefu uchaguzi wa 1953
   wa urais wa TAA kati ya Abdul Sykes na Nyerere uliofanyika Ukumbi wa Arnautoglo
   tarehe 17 April, uchaguzi ambao ndiyo ilikuwa ngazi ya Nyerere ya kwanza kupanda
   na kuwa kiongozi wa watu wa Tanganyika.
   
   Katika kitabu cha Sykes nimeeleza vipi Nyerere alishinda uchaguzi ule dhidi ya Abdul.
   
   Kitu ambacho sikueleza na sababu ni kuwa ilikuwa sikijui ni mazungumzo aloyofanya
   Abdul Sykes na Hamza Mwapachu Nansio, Ukerewe ambako Hamza alikuwa anafanya
   kazi.
   
   Agenda ya mazungumzo yale ilikuwa Nyerere.
   
   Katika mazungumzo haya alikuwapo pia Ali Mwinyi Tambwe aliyekuwa Katibu wa Al
   Jamiatul Islamiyya fi Tanganyika.
   
   Abdul alikwenda kwa Hamza kutaka ushauri na neno lake la mwisho kuhusu Nyerere
   kuachiwa kiti cha rais wa TAA na Abdul 1953 na mwaka unaofuatia waunde TANU.
   
   Hamza alimwambia Abdul kuwa yeye hajabadili mawazo na alimtaka Abdul amsaidie
   Nyerere kushinda uchaguzi ule.
   
   (Habari hizi kaziandika Juma Mwapachu miaka ya hivi karibuni baada ya kusoma makala
   yangu moja).

   
   

   

   Juma Mwapachu akihojiwa katika uzinduzi wa kitabu cha Mwalimu Nyerere,''The Early Years,'' kilichoandikwa na Thomas Morlony

   
   

   
   

   Hivi ndivyo Nyerere alivyokuja kuingia katika uongozi wa TAA 1953 na viongozi wake
   ni hawa hapo chini:
   
   J. K. Nyerere, Rais, Abdulwahid Sykes, Makamu wa Rais; J. P. Kasella Bantu, Katibu
   Mkuu; Alexander M. Tobias na Waziri Dossa Aziz, Katibu wa pamoja wa muhtasari;
   Wajumbe wa kamati: Dr Michael Lugazia, Hamisi Diwani, Tewa Said Tewa, Denis
   Phombeah, Z. James, Dome Okochi, C. Ongalo na Patrick Aoko.
   
   Katika historia hii ndipo unapokuja umuhimu wa Hamza Mwapachu na Abdul Sykes
   katika historia ya uhuru wa Tanganyika na maisha ya Nyerere.
   
   Mtanganyika...
   Nakuhitimishia kwa kukueleza kuwa moja ya sababu kubwa ya Hamza kutaka Nyerere
   achukue uongozi ni kuwa alimwambia Abdul kuwa Waingereza hawatakuwa na hofu
   kujadili uhuru wa Tanganyika na Nyerere kwa kuwa ni Mkristo.
   
   Mimi nimemjua Juma Mwapachu toka 1967 angalia picha tuliyopiga pamoja miaka hiyo
   wa kwanza kulia ni Mwandishi, William Mfuko, Juma Mwapachu, Andrew Gordon,
   Edward Makwaia (sasa mmoja wa machifu Usukuma), Huyo Bi. Mkubwa ni mama yake
   Edward, Mama Mary Mackeja na nyuma yake ni Wendo Mwapachu:

KUTOKA JF: UKWELI WA HISTORIA YA TANU

Pasco said: ↑

Mkuu Maalim Mohamed Said, kwanza nakiri sina nijuacho, na sio zaizi yako, na hata hayo Mapinduzi Matukufu nimeyajua kwa kusoma tuu na kuhadithiwa!.

Sipambani na wewe bali tunatofautiana tuu kwa mmoja wetu kuwalisha watu urongo humu, na baadhi yetu kukataa kuumeza urongo huo !.

Dini zumetufunzwa kuwa na shukani katika madogo ili tuweze kupewa makubwa!, ni Nyerere ndiye aliyetupatia uhuru, kwa hili pekee hana budi kuenziwa na kushukuiwa daima!. Wengine hatuna uvumilivu wa kuona licha ya kutangulia mbele ya haki, kila uchao, unakuja humu na posti zako za udini ulikubuhu mtu kisha kumbeza!.

Kama mtu amehukumiwa kifo kwa upanga, na sheria ya upanga ule ni kupigwa kwa pigo moja tuu!, inapotokea yule mkata upanga akakuepushia kifo na badala ya kukata shingo, upanga ukashukia kwenye mkono na kukata mkono hivyo kuepuka kifo, mtu aliyesalimika kifo, atamshukuru mchinjaji kwa kumuepushia kifo badala ya kumlaani kwa kumkata mkono!.

Hao walionusuishwa kifo na Nyerere huko walipo wanamshukuru Nyerere, who are you kumbeza kila uchao?!.

Mimi japo sii mwanazuoni na sii mwandishi kuyaandika yote niliyoyasikia, lakini nimezungumza na Sheikh Mkuu Hemed Bin Jumaa Bin Hemed, Sheikh Kassim Bin Juma, Sheikh Nurdin, Sheikh Yahya Hussein, Sheikh Comorean, Sheikh Jabir, Omar Matata na wengine wengi, misimamo yao naijua na shukrani zao kwa Nyerere nazijua huku waliko wanakusoma na kukushangaa jinsi unavyombeza humu!.

Maadam wewe wasema ''Mimi si saizi yako, ukinivaa utapwaya", kiukweli nimekuvaa na nimepwaya and here I rest my case!, endelea kulisha watu urongo, wa kumeza watameza, wa kutema watatema hadi watakapotokea saizi yako ndio labda watatunusuru na urongo wenye kupandikiza mbegu za chuki za udini kwa kisingizio cha kuhifadhi historia!

Asante.

Pasco

Pasco,
Hakuna anaekataa kuwa Mwalimu Nyerere ndiye aliyeoongoza mapambano dhidi
ya Waingereza.

Historia hii imeandikwa na sote tunaikubali ila ninachosema mimi ni kuwa mbona
hakuwa peke yake katika mapambano hayo?

Licha ya hilo kuwa hakuwa peke yake ninachosema mimi ni kuwa mapambano ya
kudai uhuru yalianza kabla yake.

Na kuthibitisha hilo ndipo nikaandika kitabu cha Abdul Sykes nikitumia njia ya
''biographical approach.''

Nimekuwekea Kamati ya Siasa katika TAA ambayo Abdul Sykes aliipa jina la TAA
Political Subcommittee kama nyaraka zake zinavyoonyesha na hii ilikuwa 1950.
(Annual Report of the Secretary of Tanganyika African Association, 7 January, 1951.
Sykes' Papers).

Katika taarifa hii Abdul kaeleza mengi kuhusu juhudi za kuja na chama cha siasa.
Soma kitabu changu yote nimeeleza kwa urefu na mapana yake.

Nyaraka hizi zipo na sasa zina umri wa miaka 66 na zilikuwa mikononi kwa marehemu
Ally Sykes hadi alipofariki.

Abdul Sykes awe muongo mkweli uwe wewe kwa kuzungumza na Omari Matata
ambae hakuna anaemjua katika histori ya Tanganyika?

Nyerere hakuweko katika kamati hii.
Nimekuwekea majina ya wanakamati wote na hawa ndiyo waliouanda TANU 1954.

Lipi la uongo nililosema mimi.

Sasa ngoja nije katika saikolojia ya watu unaodai kuwa ulizungumzanao kuhusu
historia ya TANU.

Labda hukuwa unajijua wala hukuwa unajua hali ya wakati ule ulipozungumzanao.

Kwa watu hawa kama Sheikh Kassim Juma na Nurdin Hussein wewe ulikuwa
mpelelezi umetumwa kuwachimba na ndiyo maana wakakufurahisha kwa kukupa lile
ambalo ndilo lililokuwa likitakiwa liwe.

Mimi Sheikh Kassim ni kaka yangu.
Aliwekwa ndani na hiki ni kisa mashuhuri.

Kuna khutba imepewa jina, ''Leo Nitataja Majina.''

Siku alipotoa khutba hii mimi nilikuwapo ilikuwa katika khutba ya Ijumaa Msikiti wa
Mtoro huu ndiyo wakati ule alipokuwa anapambana na serikali kuhusu madhila ya
bucha za nguruwe.

Hiyo ndiyo siku hadharani Waislam walimsikia Sheikh Kassim akieleza historia ya
Abdul Sykes na Nyerere katika kupigania uhuru wa Tanganyika.



Jiulize kipi kilichomfanya Sheikh Kassim kuvunja mwiko siku ile?
Mwiko uliokuwa umehifadhiwa kwa zaidi ya miaka 40?

Siku ile pia alimtaja na Rajab Diwani.

Mimi nimeishi ndani ya historia hii na hao wote ninaokutajia wakinijua
na mimi nikiwajua ingawa nilikuwa kijana na mdogo kwao wote.

Nawafahamu vizuri kila mmoja wao na misimamo yao ya siasa.

Pasco,
Wewe ni mgeni kwa watu hawa.

Sheikh Nurdin Hussein ni mzee wangu.
Nawajua wanae tumekua sote Kariakoo.

Sheikh Nurdin Hussein alihidhuria mkutano ule wa Mtaa wa Pemba
wa 1955 ambao Sheikh Hassan bin Amir alitoa wazo kuwa TANU
ichukue kwa makusudi mwelekeo wa ''nationalist-secularist party.''

Nina hakika Sheikh Nurdin alikuficha haya hakukueleza kwa kuwa
hakuwa anakuamini wala kukufahamu umetokea wapi.

Sheikh Nurdin aliwekwa ndani na Nyerere na kupelekwa uhamishoni
Ngombezi labda hilo pia hakukueleza.

Sheikh Ali Comorian rika langu mchezo wetu mmoja.

Baba yake Sheikh Ali Mzee Comorian alifungwa na Nyerere wakati
Sheikh Hassan bin Amir alipokamatwa na kufukuzwa Tanganyika 1968.

Kwa wote hao niliokutajia mimi si ''outsider,'' kama wewe.
Hawa ukienda wewe kutaka kuwauliza historia ya TANU tayari ushawatisha.

Hao wengine katika masheikh uliowataja wala sioni kama ipo haja ya kusema
lolote.

Mwisho mimi sijapatapo kumbeza Nyerere siwezi kukosa adabu kiasi hicho
na kama una ushahidi wa hili ulete hapa barzani watu wote waushuhudie.

Ila mimi siwezi kumpa Nyerere sifa isiyokuwa yake wala siwezi kumdhulumu
kwa lile ambalo kwa hakika anastahili kusifiwa.

Historia ya TANU na kudai uhuru wa Tanganyika ni mimi niliyokuja kuikamilisha.

Pasco,
Nakuwekea kumbukumbu muhimu:


Sheikh Kassim siku alipotolewa jela hapa ni Msikiti wa Mtoro

Ingia hapa usome historia ya Sheikh Kassim bin Juma hii ni mada niliwasilisha Chuo Kikuu
Cha Kenyatta, Nairobi:
Mohamed Said: Al Marhum Sheikh Kassim bin Juma (1940 – 1994) And the Dar es Salaam Pork Riots of 1993
