2025 - A Kenyan teacher who had lived and worked in Tanzania for nearly a
decade has reportedly been killed amid the ongoing election-related unrest
sweeping parts of the country following President Samia Suluhu’s controversial
victory.
Speaking on Tuesday, November 4th, the teacher’s
sister confirmed the family last spoke to him on September 22nd,
when he called to wish her a happy birthday.
“My brother has been in Tanzania for almost 8 years,” she
said.
“We’ve now been informed that his body is at Mwananyamala
Hospital Mortuary in Dar es Salaam.”
“He died in Ubungo district, Goba ward.”
She described him as a calm and respectful man who avoided
conflict.
“He never argued with adults. Even when we disagreed, he’d
remind me I’m older and he couldn’t argue with me.”
Meanwhile, Viral Scout Management, a sports consultancy
based in Dar es Salaam, confirmed the deaths of seven young footballers in the
same wave of violence.
In a statement issued Monday, November 3rd, the
agency named the victims - aged 15 to 22 - and said they were gunned down at
their homes in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, and Mwanza.
“These vibrant players were killed in senseless acts of
violence,” the statement read.
“They were the future of Tanzanian football.”
The agency condemned the killings and urged authorities to
act swiftly.
“We call for justice and better protection for our youth.
Rest in peace, our stars. Your legacy lives on.”
