On August noon in forty-four, beneath Tanganyika’s sky,
In Mwazye’s quiet parish land, a child began to cry.
The sixth of nine, yet heaven-marked before the world could see,
A shepherd chosen long before he bent his first small knee.
His sister saw the spark in him and made a solemn vow,
To guard his dream with sacrifice, though trials pressed her brow.
Her youth she gave, her wages too, his schooling to defend,
So he might serve the Lord of Life until his journey’s end.
Through Karema’s halls and Kaengesa’s rising gleam,
Through Kipalapala’s sacred books and nights of ceaseless stream,
His mind grew luminous, his spirit ardent, his purpose living beam,
A leader formed by discipline, by prayer, by sacred theme.
Ordained a priest in seventy-one, still humble, still afraid,
Yet faithful to the call of God, whatever price was paid.
In Rome he drank from ancient wells of moral truth and grace,
Then hastened home to serve his land, not seek a higher place.
A bishop young in Nachingwea, in Tunduru he stood,
To build where little yet was formed, to plant where none yet could.
Though fear would knock upon his heart whenever roles were new,
His answer was obedience, God’s will he would pursue.
In Dar he rose to guide the flock where giants once had been,
A Cardinal in scarlet red, yet simple still within.
He asked, “Why beg for distant grain when ours can fill the bowl?”
And taught the Church to stand upright in dignity of soul.
From twenty parishes he dreamed of one hundred in their place,
They doubted such a vision vast could ever run that race.
But when he laid the crozier down and passed the charge along,
One hundred eighteen stood in faith, his vision proved them wrong.
For death to him was not defeat, nor darkness, nor despair,
But simply door to promised glory beyond all earthly care.
The pilgrim laid his labors down where saints and angels sing,
And entered joy no mortal tongue could fully name or bring.
Though on 19 February he left this earthly state,
On 28 February, in solemn farewell we congregate.
Not stripped of honor, nor lost to sight,
But clothed in dignity, in hallowed rite.
A priest for decades he faithfully stood,
A guide in truth, in strength, in good.
A bishop, archbishop, cardinal upright,
A conscience steady in nation’s sight.
Eternal rest, O Lord, bestow,
Let endless light upon him glow.
May he who led with faithful hand
Now dwell within God’s promised land.
And when the final trumpet rings,
And time surrenders all its kings,
May the shepherd, his flock, and the Church above,
Rejoice in resurrected love.
His spirit whispers still,
Through every heart he touched, through every faithful will.
Though tears may fall, his love will never fade,
A shepherd, father, guide, forever ours to aid.
Thank you.

Mbunge wa Jimbo la Kisarawe mkoani Pwani, Selemani Jafo, ameonesha kuridhishwa na kasi ya utekelezaji wa mradi wa maji katika Kijiji cha Nyani, Kata ya Mafizi, akieleza kuwa hatua iliyofikiwa inaleta matumaini mapya kwa wananchi.
Mradi huo unaotekelezwa na kampuni ya BROADWAYS ENGINEERING CO LTD una thamani ya shilingi milioni 402.8 na hadi sasa umefikia asilimia 70 ya utekelezaji, jambo linaloashiria kuwa upatikanaji wa huduma ya maji safi na salama kwa wakazi wa eneo hilo si wa muda mrefu tena.
Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya utekelezaji, mradi unahusisha ujenzi wa mnara wa tanki la maji lenye urefu wa mita 12 na uwezo wa kuhifadhi lita 50,000, pamoja na ujenzi wa vituo vitano vya kuchotea maji na ulazaji wa mtandao wa mabomba wenye urefu wa kilometa 16.167.
Akizungumza wakati wa ukaguzi wa mradi huo, Dkt. Jafo alimpongeza mkandarasi kwa kufanya kazi kwa kasi na weledi mkubwa, akibainisha kuwa kampuni hiyo imeendelea na kazi hata kabla ya kupokea malipo yoyote, jambo alilolitaja kuwa ni uzalendo na kujitolea kwa maendeleo ya wananchi.
Kutokana na kasi hiyo, Jafo ameiiomba Wizara ya Maji kulipa kiasi cha shilingi milioni 279.1 kwa kazi zilizokamilika ili kumwezesha mkandarasi huyo kuendelea na hatua zilizobaki na kuhakikisha mradi unakamilika kwa wakati.
Mbali na mkandarasi, mbunge huyo pia amempongeza Meneja wa RUWASA Wilaya ya Kisarawe, Mhandisi Evangelista Kahwili, kwa usimamizi makini wa miradi ya maji ndani ya jimbo hilo, akisema nidhamu na ufuatiliaji wa karibu umechangia mafanikio yanayoonekana.
Wananchi wa Nyani na maeneo ya jirani wanatarajia kunufaika na mradi huo mara utakapokamilika, huku wakieleza kuwa utapunguza adha ya kutembea umbali mrefu kutafuta maji na kuboresha afya pamoja na shughuli za kiuchumi katika eneo hilo.

Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kimetoa salamu za rambirambi kwa Askofu Mkuu wa Jimbo Kuu Katoliki la Dar es Salaam, Mhashamu Jude Thaddeus Ruwa’ichi OFMCap, kufuatia kifo cha Askofu Mkuu mstaafu wa Jimbo hilo, Mwadhama Polycarp Kadinali Pengo, aliyefariki dunia Februari 19, 2026, katika Taasisi ya Moyo ya Jakaya Kikwete (JKCI) alipokuwa akipatiwa matibabu.
