STOKELY CARMICHAEL (A.K.A. KWAME TOURE) R.I.P. UP THE SPIN OF THE AFRICAN UNIVERSE |
SWAHILI: Ni miaka 13 leo tangu kifo chake Stokely Carmichael, moja katika wakazi wa dunia yetu (tena wachache sana ukihesabu akina Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevarra, Osama Bin Ladin na Muammar Gaddafi) wanaoweza kuyaweka maisha yao katika imani yao. Jamaa Stokely Carmichael, aliihama mwenyewe nchi ya kuzaliwa kwake na kuja Afrika ili kuonyesha upendo wake, pia na nia yake ya kumuona Mswahili akiwa na umoja popote pale alipo.
ZULU: Namuhla ngqo, sekuyiminyaka eyi-13 seloku isishoshovu sobumbano loMuAfrika, uStokely Carmichael asishiya emhlabeni. Yena ungomuye wabantu esithanda ukubahlonipha ngendlela abazinikela ngalo ukuze sonke abampisholo emhlabeni sibe munye futhi singabi yizimpabanga-nje nezinto zokudlala ezinye izizwe. Kulabo abangazi, nguye belu uStokely Carmichael owanikeza ugqozi lwe "Black Power" ezinganeni (njengoTsietsie Mashinini) zaseSoweto ngo-1976 ezenza ukuthi sisheshe siyithole inkululeko yethu.
ENGLISH: An American, Stokely Carmichael is nonetheless highly regarded in Africa's revolutionary circles. Taking his beliefs in Africanism to the highest distillations of fatih, he apparently exiled himself to Africa to pursue his ideals. Blogger was highly blest around 1996 to see Stokely Carmichael (a.k.a. Kwame Toure) during one of this trips around to day goodbye before his death. (He had been diagnosed with a cancer and subsequently given a fatal prognosis)
Lule yihikili myaka 13 tangu Stokely Carmichael afwili. Avi myitu nayombi, na vangi vamahele vawezili kugavika maisha gavi gavili ga imani. Muyitu Sctokely Carmichael, awukili nga mwene nchi ya azaliwi na kubwela kwitu kuafrika aganeye kuvalangisa vandu upendu waki, na aganeye kuvawona waafrika ngati vana umoja popova pala pa vavili.
