THE AZANIA -TAMBAZA CONFLICT XXIII

 

Adeladius Makwega – Dodoma

In text XXI, my reader, you will no doubt recall how I touched on the role of the CAG from 1961 to 2022, and that up to 2026 it has been led by Mr. Charles Kicheere, who is among the students who studied at Tambaza.

 

In that text, you may also remember that I explained the exceptional ability of our colleague in the subject of English, where he earned an A grade as the only student to do so. That A by Charles Kicheere sparked great discussion at Tambaza school, from teachers to students.

 

The excitement over that A in English Language became a major topic of debate at Tambaza at the time, further fueled by jokes among the students themselves:

 

“I got an A, all of you followed behind me, therefore I am the English champion of the entire Tambaza. I am the English champion of all Dar es Salaam, I am the English champion of all Tanzania.”

 

However, Charles Kicheere himself now holds a different position regarding this claim of comparing himself to others based on that English grade and going around to homes boasting about it.

 

Another additional detail about this colleague is that he also lived in Kariakoo, on Sikukuu Street, house number 10.

 

 

Furthermore, my reader, note that when Charles Kicheere completed Form Four, he obtained Division I with 9 points, earning six A grades in History, Geography, Book Keeping, Commerce, English Language, and Civics (Siasa).

Therefore, Mwanakwetu, understand that this colleague was also excellent in Siasa, which later, after the introduction of the multi-party system, changed into Civics/General Studies.

 

That year, Tambaza did not have Division I with 7 or 8 points; thus Division I started at 9 points, which was achieved by only two students: Charles Kicheere and another student named Thomas Marwa (I will look for him to find out where he is).

 

“Charles Kicheere came to me boasting a lot after the results were released, and indeed others told me he had also visited them.

 I congratulated him, although I myself had scored a C in English Language.”

 

Says one stakeholder who was in the same class as our colleague.

 

Mwanakwetu, let us now leave our CAG since 2019, Dr. Charles Kicheere, to continue with his three responsibilities as outlined in Article 143(ii)(a), (b), and (c) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania of 1977 and its subsequent amendments.

 

With all due respect, I close today’s discussion about Dr. Charles Kicheere. With great respect, I sincerely thank you, CAG, especially for reaching out to me and explaining your perspective regarding the truth about your English Language A grade. However, I kindly ask you, Dr. Charles Kicheere, not to send your young people to confront me where I am.

 

Nevertheless, my reader, do not worry—these are just Tambaza matters; Mwanakwetu is simply speaking with his peers. Also remember that Dr. Charles Kicheere himself, when he communicated with Mwanakwetu, denied going house to house boasting about his English grade. However, he did not deny obtaining Division I with 9 points and six A grades, including Civics.

 

 

My reader, I am aware that the holy month of Ramadan is ongoing. Allow me to present another Ramadan verse:

 

O God, remove the drought, save the farmers,
Do not withhold the rain, so that crops may grow,
Let us recite all prayers today, tomorrow, and forever,
Ramadan has arrived, O God forgive our sins.

 

Remember, this is Article XXIII of The Azania and Tambaza Conflict.

I wish you a good day.
