If anything, this is exactly what seems to follow after the departure of the giant. It’s very painful for morally upright earthlings to see tonnes and tonnes of the world leaders congregating in Qunu to enjoy the prominence of Madiba. How much money’s burnt that’d have helped paupers in their hunks they made poor? How much time did they spend showing off while Mandela didn’t subscribe to such uppity and pomp?
Yaani baada ya kupanda milima unajikuta unapambana na vilima vingine,(tafsiri ni yangu). Hapa bila shaka Mandela alimaanisha vikwazo vitokanavyo na utawala wa kifisi na kifisadi ambapo mlima ulikuwa ubaguzi wa makaburu na vilima na hivi vijikaburu vyeusi vinavyogeuza madaraka kuwa mali ya ukoo na genge fulani kama ambavyo inaanza kuzoeleka katika bara la Afrika. Ni bahati mbaya sana kuwa wanafiki na mafisi waliomsaliti Mandela ndiyo sasa wameshikilia hatamu wakila utamu kama ilivyotokea kwa Mwalimu Nyerere.
