Tasnia ya filamu nchini imepata pigo kufuatia kifo cha msanii mkongwe, Mzee Kambi, kilichotokea leo Aprili 27, 2026.
Taarifa za kifo hicho zimethibitishwa na Msemaji wa Shirikisho la Filamu Tanzania, Coletha Raymond, aliyesema kuwa msanii huyo alifariki dunia ghafla alipokuwa akiendelea na shughuli zake za kazi.
Akizungumza kuhusu tukio hilo, Coletha alisema Mzee Kambi alikuwa ametoka mkoani Tabora kikazi na aliporejea alielekea moja kwa moja katika shughuli zake kwenye studio za Pilipili, kabla ya kuanza kujisikia vibaya.
“Ni kweli tumempoteza Mzee Kambi. Alikuwa ametoka Tabora na alipofika alienda moja kwa moja kazini katika studio za Pilipilibl. Akiwa kazini ndipo alipozidiwa ghafla na kukimbizwa hospitali, lakini kwa bahati mbaya alifariki dunia,” alisema Coletha.
Aliongeza kuwa chanzo cha kifo kinahusishwa na matatizo ya kiafya yaliyokuwa yakimsumbua, ikiwemo presha na kisukari.
Aidha, alisema Shirikisho la Filamu Tanzania linaendelea na taratibu za ndani kwa kushirikiana na familia ya marehemu ili kupanga mipango ya mazishi, ambapo taarifa zaidi zitatolewa baadaye.

On August noon in forty-four, beneath Tanganyika’s sky,
In Mwazye’s quiet parish land, a child began to cry.
The sixth of nine, yet heaven-marked before the world could see,
A shepherd chosen long before he bent his first small knee.
His sister saw the spark in him and made a solemn vow,
To guard his dream with sacrifice, though trials pressed her brow.
Her youth she gave, her wages too, his schooling to defend,
So he might serve the Lord of Life until his journey’s end.
Through Karema’s halls and Kaengesa’s rising gleam,
Through Kipalapala’s sacred books and nights of ceaseless stream,
His mind grew luminous, his spirit ardent, his purpose living beam,
A leader formed by discipline, by prayer, by sacred theme.
Ordained a priest in seventy-one, still humble, still afraid,
Yet faithful to the call of God, whatever price was paid.
In Rome he drank from ancient wells of moral truth and grace,
Then hastened home to serve his land, not seek a higher place.
A bishop young in Nachingwea, in Tunduru he stood,
To build where little yet was formed, to plant where none yet could.
Though fear would knock upon his heart whenever roles were new,
His answer was obedience, God’s will he would pursue.
In Dar he rose to guide the flock where giants once had been,
A Cardinal in scarlet red, yet simple still within.
He asked, “Why beg for distant grain when ours can fill the bowl?”
And taught the Church to stand upright in dignity of soul.
From twenty parishes he dreamed of one hundred in their place,
They doubted such a vision vast could ever run that race.
But when he laid the crozier down and passed the charge along,
One hundred eighteen stood in faith, his vision proved them wrong.
For death to him was not defeat, nor darkness, nor despair,
But simply door to promised glory beyond all earthly care.
The pilgrim laid his labors down where saints and angels sing,
And entered joy no mortal tongue could fully name or bring.
Though on 19 February he left this earthly state,
On 28 February, in solemn farewell we congregate.
Not stripped of honor, nor lost to sight,
But clothed in dignity, in hallowed rite.
A priest for decades he faithfully stood,
A guide in truth, in strength, in good.
A bishop, archbishop, cardinal upright,
A conscience steady in nation’s sight.
Eternal rest, O Lord, bestow,
Let endless light upon him glow.
May he who led with faithful hand
Now dwell within God’s promised land.
And when the final trumpet rings,
And time surrenders all its kings,
May the shepherd, his flock, and the Church above,
Rejoice in resurrected love.
His spirit whispers still,
Through every heart he touched, through every faithful will.
Though tears may fall, his love will never fade,
A shepherd, father, guide, forever ours to aid.
Thank you.

I met him first in twenty-eleven’s glow,
At Chef’s Pride Restaurant, where humble spirits show.
Othman Michuzi bridged our fates that day,
A greeting warm, his light led the way.
Through Kigamboni’s sunlit streets,
He fought for justice, never defeat.
With courage firm, he stood his ground,
His wisdom a compass, his resolve profound.
Family first, his golden creed,
In every moment, he saw their need.
No birthday missed, no milestone ignored,
In love's pure light, his spirit adored.
Music flowed within his soul,
Professor Jay’s lyrics made him whole.
Dancing, laughing, with his kin,
A melody of life played deep within.
To Martha, his light, his shining star,
He taught her dreams could take her far.
"Give your best, never settle for less,"
A father’s lesson, a life to impress.
To Melvin, his son, he left a flame,
A legacy built on honor and name.
"Be brave, be kind, let truth be your guide,
In every storm, let faith abide."
As Africa called, he answered its plea,
A vision for health, for humanity.
First among Tanzanians to rise,
To WHO’s halls beneath global skies.
But fate, relentless, had plans untold,
Took him away, a story left unrolled.
Before his path could fully unfold,
His spirit ascended, pure and gold.
We'll rise again, though hearts may ache,
To honor his dreams, for his great sake.
As Samia vowed, we'll proudly maintain,
A Tanzanian voice in WHO's domain.
Now, we mourn, yet celebrate too,
The life he lived, the dreams he pursued.
For Faustine’s light, though dimmed in time,
Still shines in hearts, a hope sublime.
Oh, Tanzania, lift your head,
For even in grief, his life is widespread.
In every soul he touched, we see,
The power of love and legacy.
Rest now, dear leader, father, and friend,
Your journey may stop, but it shall not end.
In hearts we hold and steps we've trod,
You live in us, a gift from God.
Thank you.

In the morning light of Mara’s land,
Where grasses whispered across red sand,
A child of sun and soil was born,
To rise, to serve, to bear the horn.
A herder first, of goats and dreams,
He wandered fields and watched the streams.
Yet fate, with plans both strange and wise,
Had bound his path to broader skies.
In 1942, with Africa’s call,
He left the fields, he gave his all,
From Butiama’s soil to KAR’s might,
In fields of valor, he learned to fight.
Through islands thick with jungle heat,
To lands where oceans’ powers meet,
He marched with brothers, bound by code,
And carved his path on war’s dark road.
Through gunfire, wounds, through loss and gain,
Where echoes stilled but scars remained,
He fought like thunder, fierce and bright,
Through darkest hours, he held the light.
Madagascar’s siege, a storm-wrought test,
Where young men proved their might, their best.
With every mile, his courage grew,
And through each step, the legend too.
In Burma’s mire, through fire and steel,
Where soldiers walk and wounds don’t heal,
He bled, he fought, he held his ground,
In silent strength, his name renowned.
Not just in rank, but heart and grace,
A sergeant rose with measured pace.
To lead, to teach, to stand as guide,
A gentle strength, with honor tried.
Through winds of war, in Simba’s hills,
Where battle roared, and time stood still,
He earned a name, “Mutukula’s” fame,
A spirit fierce, an unquenched flame.
When Amin fled and battles ceased,
Musuguri stood as peace’s priest,
Two days a ruler, by duty’s hand,
Then back he went to his cherished land.
For every year he lived and more,
From sea to field, from peace to war,
In every breath, in every stand,
He served with heart, his promised land.
A soldier’s honor, a timeless grace,
In the land of heroes, your spirit we trace.
So rest, great General, the world will keep,
Your story’s light, where legends sleep.
With solemn pride, I offer my salute,
In tribute to you, a hero so true.
A gun salute will sound, echoing high,
For your valorous heart, we honor and cry.
Thank you.
