I want to cry, not because he has died, but how humans put too much emphasies on RICHES (specifically money) as the ultimate element in one's life. What do we say of Nelson Mandela?? No wonder our politicians loot with abandon so as to meet this RICHES criteria. Saaaaad!! 😩😩

I was just watching a rerun of the interview @KoinangeJeff had with him yesterday…Ooh lord…but he looked a bit tired in that interview…he seemed like a down to earth…mentioned all his wealth belonged to God. May he rest in peace.

Rest in Peace @regmengi. What a coincidence that you had to pass on one day to celebrating #WorldPressFreedomDay2019. You have left your mark in promoting press freedom, entrepreneurship and philanthropy not only in #Tanzania but in #Africa and globally. @ChangeTanzania
