woh! jamani huyo padri kanikumbusha mbali kweli, mwaka 1996 nilimuona Maua Seminari kule Marangu Kilema, mkoani Kilimanjaro nakumbuka alikuwa mwalimu na wanafunzi walisema ni mkali hapendi ujinga au mchezo kwenye masomo. Dah ama kweli mithupu we si mchezo. Abel, Felix, Sule, na wadau wengine wa maua Seminari mnamkumbuka father ladi???????
ReplyDeleteAma kweli mavi ya kale hayanuki.
Wadau wa seminari ya Maua, mnamkumbuka Father Ladislaus aka Mbundu? JIna la Mbundu ndio lilikuwa zoeleka zaidi kwa wanafunzi...
ReplyDeleteHuyu padiri ni mchapakazi hodari aisee kwenye swala zima la kufanya kazi hana utani...
Mungu akubariki father ladislaus umeweka mifano mingi kwa vijana wengi tuliopita katika mikono yako pale Maua seminary.
Be blessed.

Duh Baba Lad ni mzima nakumbuka stori zake alipokuwa anafundisha Kasita Seminary, mzee huyu alikuwa ana shamba la miwa lakini wezi wakubwa ktk shamba lake walikuwa wanafunzi wake. Kwa kukomesha alikuwa anajificha shambani lakini wanafunzi wakagundua ujanja wakawa wanamuita kabla ya kuingia shambani akiita wanasema kuna mtu anataka kwenda ktk kitubio. Ila ni mchapa kazi sana mzee huyu...Mdau Wa KASITA
ReplyDeletePD. LADI AKA MBUNDU, sijawahiona binadamu anachapa kazi km huyu mzee. Naamini asilimia 2 tu ya watanzania tungekua na bidii yake tungekua tumeshasahau umasikini. Mungu akubariki sana Pd. Ladi aka. Mbundu aka Mashkapu.
ReplyDeleteKijijini Ruwa/Maua walimuita Mashkapu kutokana na uwezo wake wa kubeba mizigo mizito na kutembea mbali wakati mwingine hadi km zaidi ya 10 na umri wake mkubwa.
