MZee Kitwanga was sacked for allegedly being drunk at the office which so happens to be the Bunge of the united republic. Note: the moment you are sacked and your name is dragged through the mud having being drunk of “virobaz” the ‘Hon.’ is immediately dropped from your name and replaced with ‘mzee’Mzee reflects a whole lot of inconsequential positions in society but most of all, that you already have one foot in the grave. Not my words but I don’t disagree either. In the case of this mzee, life has taken a sharp turn leftward.I wonder if he knew on that fateful morning while everyone else was having tea and spicing it up with milk that he shouldn’t be having his spiced up with virobaz. Alcohol is not tea as goes the popular Swahili saying.
I went onto Youtube to search for that fateful Q&A session that saw this learned man now ‘mzee’ lose his job as the minister of Ministry of internal and home affairs of the united republic of our Tanzania.
A post he only served for five months which in retrospect is a shorter time than one needs to learn a whole list of things including learning a language.
Five months is, well, five months. Youtube produced a variety of videos including his time in Bunge but also a video of him and Uncle John on stage during the elections campaigns in October 2015. Uncle John is seen saying, “You see Kitwanga, he is my friend and I want to tell you all that I went to school with him.
I know him very well and that is why I have come here to campaign for him..” and campaign for him he did but when push came to shove, well, now we know. No games played aroundhapakazitu is just that. You mess up and you will go and become a mzee in your neighbourhood.
I must give it to Mzee Kitwanga though; aside from his slowed speech, he didn’t actually display any intoxication on while answering his questions. You know that overly annoying intoxication behaviour of being all over the place, tripping on your own feet and whatnot.
He didn’t make much sense giving vague answers to the question but he wasn’t physically wobbly or slurring per se. He could have continued with this if it wasn’t for the Q&A session but they say a thief has 40 days
