Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete akipeana mkono na marehemu Sheikh Mkuu wa Tanzania Mufti Sheikh Issa Bin Shaaban Simba (kushoto) enzi za uhai wake.

Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete ametuma salamu za rambirambi kwa Waislamu wote nchini na Baraza Kuu la Waislamu Tanzania  (BAKWATA)) kufuatia kifo cha Sheikh Mkuu wa Tanzania  Mufti Sheikh  Issa Bin Shaaban Simba.

Marehemu Mufti amefariki  leo 15/6/2015 asubuhi katika hospitali ya TMJ – DSM alipokuwa amelazwa akisumbuliwa na ugonjwa wa sukari na shinikizo...

Shaaban ni maarufu, kwa wanalugha nchini, Alikuwa ni mrefu, mwembamba wa wastani, Na leo tunamsifu  mchango wake Shaabani Mungu amlaze pema, mahali pema peponi.  

Na Profesa Mbele
Jina la Shaaban Robert ni maarufu miongoni mwa wa-Tanzania na wengine wa nchi zingine wanaokijua ki-Swahili. Lakini, tujiulize ni wa-Tanzania wepi ambao wamesoma angalau vitabu vichache vya Shaaban Robert. 

Ni wangapi wamesoma au wanasoma mashairi yake, tenzi zake, insha zake, barua zake, na riwaya zake?
Ni wangapi wamesoma vitabu vyake vingine, kama vile Wasifu wa Siti Binti Saad, Maisha Yangu na Baada ya Miaka Hamsini, na tafsiri yake ya mashairi ya Omar Khayyam? Kama hatuna...

>Generations of students studied his epic novel Kusadikika, an allegorical work of an imaginary state in which injustices are perpetrated against all notions of justice, law and humanity.

Shaaban Robert kamwe hatasahaulika katika kumbukumbu za wapenzi wa Kiswahili. Jina la gwiji huyu linapotajwa na kugonga masikioni mwa wakereketwa wa Kiswahili, hisia za aina yake huibuka.

PRESIDENT’S OFFICE,      STATE HOUSE,               1 BARACK OBAMA ROAD,   11400 DAR ES SALAAM.Tanzania.  TAARIFA KWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI
Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete ametuma salamu za rambirambi kwa Waislamu wote nchini na Baraza Kuu la Waislamu Tanzania  (BAKWATA)) kufuatia kifo...

If Egypt’s great pyramid of Giza is one of the wonders of the world, the withdrawal of classics by Shabaan Robert like ‘Kusadikika’ and ‘Adili na Nduguze’ from the Kiswahili syllabi, is one of Tanzania’s most scandalous decisions.

Tanzania na Afrika zina mashujaa wengi. Baadhi yao hawatajulikana kwa sababu habari zao hazikutangazwa. Walitenda mema wakaondoka zao. Wengine tunao humu mitaani na vijijini, wanafanya mazuri kimya kimya.

Habari zilizotufikia hivi punde ni kwamba Mufti Mkuu wa Tanzania, Sheikh Issa Shaaban Simba amefariki asubuhi ya leo.
Kwa taarifa zaidi juu ya kifo chake tutaendelea kuwajulisha, Innalilah wainailah Rajiun.
