Dear brothers, sisters and comrades:
This is so devastating. I have no words. And here I am sitting in Toronto in transit to Dar tomorrow arriving Dar on July 1st afternoon. I have no one here to share my sorrow with except Parin and amil. Don't know what to do. Feeling so helpless.
I am with you in spirit.
Collectively express my profound shock to Saida, my dear friend.
Give the best farewell ever to my dear dear friend of over 40 years.
Buriani rafiki yangu,
ndugu yangu,
kamaradi Haroub Issa
Wako,
Issa Shivji

I knew Prof Haroub For along time. He was a good man and very understanding. All time politely arguing and making his case. He was the best among UDSM Profs. at IDS Dept. He knew well and extensively his subjects. Whenever He spoke people will be quiet and attentively listening and in the end there will eb aplause!
ReplyDeleteRIP Prof
Taifa limempoteza mwananchi makini. R.I.P
ReplyDeleteHkika sisi ni wa Allah na hakika kwake ni wenye kurejea. ni masikitiko makubwa prof alikua instructor wangu DS1997/1998, alikua akirahisisha maisha ya shule kua laini kwa wengi. ni maprof wachache sana walikua kama yeye wengi walikua wakuda. vilio na masikitiko hayasaidii kwa sasa. zaidi ni kumuombea Dua kwa Allah ili afikie mahali pema. na kwa sisi tuliobaki ni somo kwamba mmoja wetu ni next. ni bora kujiandaa kwa matendo mema na kuachana na mabaya.

Marehemu prof. Harubu atakumbukwa kwa umahiri wake ktk somo la DS. Ni miaka 14 tangu nimalize college (UDSM) lakini bado naisikia sauti yake. Ni kama vile anakusimulia hadithi ambayo usingependa iishe. Tumempoteza shujaa na pengo lake halitazibika. RIP prof Harubu!

Profesa Haroub Othman atakumbukwa na wengi kutokana na misimamo yake thabati, utaalamu wke katik kuchmbua masuala ya kisiasa hasa historia ya Tanganyika na Zanzibar pamoja na masuala ya muungano.Bila shaka misimamo yake iliyo imara kuhusiana na wananchi madhulumu wa Palestina. Binafsi nimewahi kuisikia mno misimamo yake kupitia mahojiano aliyokuwa akifanyiwa na Redio ya Kiislamu ya Iran na makala zake mbalimbali. Mungu ilaze roho yake mahala pema peponi.

Maneno ya Prof. Shivji kumhusu Prof. Haroub yamenigusa sana. Hawa walikuwa walimu wazuri wa falsafa ya ukombozi wa kifkra pale Mlimani.
ReplyDeletePumzika kwa amani Prof. Othman, fikra zako zitadumu milele.-Pascal Mayalla.
Rest in peace Prof.
ReplyDeleteI had an opportunity to be taught by this great thinker and I enjoyed it immensely.In most of his classes he just showed up without any prepared notes on paper, every material just flows straight from his head, he was an amazing lecturer. Machapisho yako and all the the good things you left behind will be highly reverd for years to come, I salute you Sir!!

Professa Haroub alikua mtaalam miongoni mwa wataalam wengi wa sayansi ya jamii, Nchi,Wanafamilia, na Jamii kwa ujumla tumepoteza mtu mahiri sana, lakini juu ya hayo yote ni lazima tuyakumbuke na kuyakubali maneno ya M/Mungu na mafunzo mbalimbali kwa kusema "inna lillah wa inna ilaihi raj' uun" (tumetoka kwa mwenyezi mungu na tutarejea kwake)
ReplyDeletePole sana Bw. Twahir, Prof. Saida, Abdallah na wengineo wengi.
Insha allah.Allah ampunzishe Prof. mahala pema peponi amiin.

Prof Shivji umeniliza sana kwa ujumbe wako.Tumempoteza mtu muhimu sana.Rest in peace prof Haroub.
ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace. we all loved him. can somebody tell what he was doing at the concert at his very elderly age?
ReplyDeleteWahenga husema mashujaa hawafariki hulala tu, hivyo hata mimi ninaamini Prof. H. Othman amelala na hajafariki.
ReplyDeleteMtu anayefariki ni yule ambaye fikra zake na matendo yake yanasahaulika pindi anapoondoka lakini kwa Prof ni tofauti yeye amelala tu.Amelala in the sense kwamba mafundisho yake, hekma zake,machapisho na vitabu vyake, pamoja na fikra zake vitazidi kutumika na vizazi vijavyo!
Amelala tu......
annon apo...prof alikua concert??

ReplyDeleteAMINA.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raajiuun. I vividly remember your last words to me on the day we met outside the University Computing Centre in Dar Es Salaam after many years, last January. Seeing a face you couldn't immediately place stretching a handshake and salaam to you, you immediately grabbed the moment with the following philosophical words: "As I saw you crossing the road over to me, I knew you were one of my boys, but who could it be? This is such a big place. But I said, let me wait, if he is he'll surely come to me." The reality is, everyone could always come to you - being a man of the people you had always been as the would testify the young man who rushed in to unclamp your car in my presence. Your last words as we parted were even more touching. They were words of wisdom, care and encouragement. "Pass my love on to your family and wherever you are keep in touch with those of your kind and help each other. Sisi muda wetu umekwisha." In a state os shock it has taken me over 24 hours to come up with the words. I managed to call one of your greatest friends, Ahmed Gurnah, in the early hours of Sunday. I could feel how frozen he was at the other end of the line.
ReplyDeleteMay Allah azza wa jalla bless you with the best of places in janna and keep your spirit going among our posterity.
Professor Haroub alikuwa msikivu na mpenda watu wenye kutaka kufikia suluhisho kwa kukubaliana yale yenye kuleta amani. Mungu ailaze pema peponi roho yake. Mafanikio ya waliowengi yamechangiwa na busara zake.
ReplyDeleteHakuna msomi yeyoye aliyepitia mlimani bila kumjua prof wetu jamani. I will never forget him, alikuwa tofauti kabisa na walimu wote wa DSA (DEVELOPMENT STUDY) ambayo usipofaulu hata ukipata misonge yote ile wewe utadisco tuu. He was really a teacher alikuwa hana haraka ya kufundisha na anahakikisha wote mmeelewa vyanzo vya many issues za afrika ambazo nyigi zilianza wakati wengi wetu hatujazaliwa. Amemifundisha for 3 years niliyokuwa hapo mlimani and I learnt a lot from him. He liked to talk about the legendary leader of africa, kina Kwame Nkrumah na wengine wengi, kusema kweli tumepoteza an intelligent prof, father and a mentor, may allah put his soul to rest he has inspired most of us who passed through his mentor. There was no question I asked him about political issues in this world na akakosa jibu he was always ready to listen and give, you will really be missed. Basi tena ahasi yangu niliyopanga ya kuwatembelea walimu wangu wa mlimani walioni-inspire sana ndiyo sintamuona tena. It is really sad.
ReplyDeleteHe taught me development studies at UDSM. May the Lord Rest His Soul In Eternal Peace. We'll keep your legacy Prof. Amen
ReplyDeleteInna lilah wainna ilaihi raji'un.The very shocking news of the death of this prominent figure (Prof Haroub) has not only left me speechless but also devastated.I just couldn't believe when the news came through.
ReplyDeleteHaving attended one of his lectures at Nkrumah Hall at the UDSM you would wish all the Pros to snap at his heels.He was loved by everyone or more precisely he was the student's choice and the UDSM community at large.
Disappointingly however, he's gone.No words to say, but it's really devastating.
Rest in peace Prof HAroub Othman.
We will miss you endlessly.
Just got the news. I am shocked. REST IN ETERNAL PEACE PROF. HAROUB OTHMAN.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shock. I met Prof. Othman in Bergen-Norway in the 90s. He invited a couple of Tanzanians in his home very kind together with his beautiful wife. God rest his soul in peace!
ReplyDeleteKwa kweli mimi ninachoweza kusema , Tanzania imempoteza mmoja wa wasomi waliobobea....namkumbuka sana nilivyokua namwona akihojiwa kwenye vyombo vya habari akichambua mada tete . Bwana ametoa na bwana ametwaa. Jina lake libarikiwe
ReplyDeleteJamii inapompoteza mtaalamu au msomi yeyote ni kipigo ....hasa kama yule mtaalamu anajulikana kuwa kasimamia upande wa watu kama alivyokuwa Profesa Haroub Othman.
ReplyDeleteMungu aiweke roho yake pema peponi. Amina
RIP Prof..
ReplyDeleteas a FOL, LLB student (2002/6), i am one of the beneficiary of his immennse intelligency in the DS class..mojawapo ya mambo niliyojifunza toka kwake ni ku argue kwa upole pasipo kuwa na jazba!..Let us celebrate his life rather than mourning his death!...Bwana ametoa na bwana ametwaa..Jina la Bwana Libarikiwe!
Pole sana Mwalimu wangu Prof. Shivji. kwa kweli umeniliza kwa maneno yako. I understand how you feel. Nimekumbuka mbali, jinsi wewe na Prof. Othman mlivyokuwa mnatufundisha na busara zenu. Hakika umempoteza Rafiki na Ndugu. Sisi pia tumempoteza Mwalimu na Msomi muhimu Nchini kwetu.
ReplyDeleteNamuombea kwa Mwenyezi Mungu aweze kumpa pumziko la milele. Na kwako Prof. Shivji, Mungu akupe moyo wa subira hasa kwa wakati huu ambao upo mbali na nyumbani. Pole sana.
Poleni sana Wanafamilia kwa msiba huu mzito ambao pia ni msiba wetu wote. Mwenyezi Mungu awapunguzie machungu na kuwapa faraja zake.
RIP Prof. Othman.
Prof Shivji umeniliza I have been touched by your words,pole sana and the rest of the family,collegues na watanzania!
ReplyDeleteKwakweli prof. Shivji umeniliza! hakika kwake tutarejea! Allah akupe nguvu katika hili.Poleni sana prof. Saida na mwanao mungu awape nguvu ili mumsomee dua. Mwenyezimungu ampunguzie adhabu za kabri!
