Huko Afrika, katika makala ya Noa Bongo Jenga Maisha Yako kuhusu historia ya Afrika! Leo hii jirani yao kina June amekasirika baada ya kusikia kuwa wazazi wa Philipp, Wajerumani, mwanafunzi mpya katika darasa la kina June na ambae ni rafiki yake, wanataka kununua kiwanja kwa ajili ya kujenga nyumba.

Kwani unataka waende wakaishi wapi? kwako? 3. Neighbour: Oh, bwana, usiwe mjinga! SFX: People talking. In the background: chicken, goats, cows, birds, then fade under 4. June: (whispering) Babu, kwa nini jirani yetu amekasirika? Wazazi wa Philipp hawajamfanya chochote, au vipi? 5. Grandpa: (sighing) Hapana mjukuu wangu, hawajafanya chochote (whispering) Unajua, bado wapo watu ambao wanafikiri kuwa Wazungu wataichukua Afrika yote baada ya kununua kiwanja mahala Ni kweli wako wengi ambao hawataki tu kiwanja kidogo. Lakini lazima utambue tofauti. 6. June: (confused) Ha? Hata sielewi 7. Grandpa: Njoo twende nyumbani! Nitakuelezea njiani! 3

4 SFX: Footsteps from two people on gravel path. In the background: people talking, chicken, goats, cows, birds, then fade under 8. June: (curious) Endelea babu, hakuna mtu anayetusikia sasa 9. Grandpa: Kuna watu wengi ambao bado wana matatizo na wageni, hasa watu weupe wakitaka kuishi hapa, maana yake inawakumbusha enzi za ukoloni. Na moja kwa moja huwa wanauona ukoloni mambo leo 10. June: Ukoloni nini, babu? 11. Grandpa: Ukoloni mambo leo yaani ukoloni wa kisasa. Je unajua hasa ukoloni ulikuwa ni kitu gani? (June: Hmhm!, like saying No ) ulikuwa ni wakati ambao wazungu wengi walipoanza kwenda Afrika mwishoni mwa karne ya 19. Walinyakua ardhi ya Waafrika na kuigeuza kuwa yao, walianzisha makoloni na kisha madola. Kufikia mwanzoni mwa karne ya 20, Wazungu walikuwa tayari wameshanyakua asilimia 90 ya ardhi ya Afrika! 12. June: (shocked) Kwa nini walifanya hivyo? Kwani wao hawana mashamba ya kahawa kwao? 4

5 13. Grandpa: (laughing) La. Hawana zao hilo kwao. Lakini juu ya yote hayo yalikuwa ni mashindano kati ya Ufaransa na Uingereza ndiyo yaliyosababisha yote hayo. Wazungu walikuwa wameshafika Afrika muda mrefu. Lakini katika miongo ya mwisho ya karne ya 18 walianza kuwa na hamu ya kujiingiza katika maswala ya ndani ya nchi za Afrika. Wakati ule masoko ya Ulaya yalikabiliwa na mgogoro wa uchumi uliokuwa umeikumba Ulaya kwa muda mrefu. 14. June: Kwa hivyo Afrika ndio iliyolipa mdororo huo? 15. Grandpa: Naam, Afrika iliongezea nafasi katika soko la bidhaa za Ulaya. Na pia ilikuwa ni chanzo cha kupatikana bidhaa zilizowapendeza sana watu wa Ulaya: pembe, kahawa, dhahabu na maliasili zingine pamoja na madini. 16. June: (confused) Mimi bado sielewi babu. Je, walilituma jeshi kuchukua vitu vyote hivyo? 5

6 17. Grandpa: Hapana, mjukuu wangu, nchi za Ulaya ziliwapeleka wavumbuzi, wanabailojia, wanajiografia kutafiti na kuchora ramani ya sehemu za ndani ya Afrika. Na baada ya hapo ndipo wakaanza kunyakua bidhaa walizokuwa wakizitaka. (pause) Na hiyo inanikumbusha juu ya hadithi ya kufurahisha kuhusu yale yaliyompata Georg Schweinfurth, mwanabailojia Mjerumani ambaye alizunguka bara la Afrika kutoka mwaka 1868 hadi mwaka1871. Aliwasikia wasindikizaji wake mara nyingi walipozungumzia kuhusu kuwepo kwa mbilikimo huko Afrika ya Kati watu wafupi, wenye ujuzi wa kuwinda tembo. Hakusahau kamwe vioja vya mbilikimo hao, aliwafikiria mawazoni mwake mara nyingi. Mpaka siku moja yakamtokea maajabu... Flashback music Second Scene: Meeting the pygmies.

(pause, then surprised) Siamini! Ulichonacho mikononi mwako ni mbilikimo!!! 20. Mohammed: (proud) Ndio ni yeye! umesubiri muda mrefu kutaka kumuona mmoja, na sasa umefaulu, huyu hapa! 21. Schweinfurth: Mungu wangu! mwishowe! (enthusiastic while walking) njoo, mlete humu ndani ya hema! Ninataka kumchora! Ninataka kumpima pia! Oh, ninataka kupata taarifa za kutosha kadri itakavyowezekana! Njoo, hatutaki kupoteza muda zaidi! Nitaanza kwa kumchora! SFX: Footsteps on gravel path entering a tent (removing some cloth). Background: birds, then fade under 22. Schweinfurth: Kaa, tafadhali! 7

Schweinfurth: (murmuring while drawing) Vizuri sana ndio Oh, Mungu wangu, hata siamini kuwa yuko hapa mbele yangu!...ndio ha-ha 24. Mohammed: Sio rahisi kumtuliza! Ni mdogo lakini ana nguvu sana! (pause) Ah! SFX: Someone jumping from someone s lap onto the floor. In the background: birds, then fade under 25. Schweinfurth: Naam, naona itanibidi nijaribu mbinu nyingine... SFX: Someone standing up, footsteps going away on gravel path, someone picking a plate, footsteps approaching on gravel path. In the background: murmuring of fear, birds, then fade under 26. Schweinfurth: Ninakwambia, Mohammed, nitamchukua mmoja nikirudi! Naweza kufikiria habari zikitapakaa Ulaya yote: Mvumbuzi Mjerumani arudi kutoka Afrika akiwa ameshikana mkono kwa mkono na Mbilikimo! (dreamily) Ah! 27. Interpreter: (shy) Iwapo utaniruhusu bwana mkubwa Schweinfurth: Ndio, mkalimani wangu... 8

9 29. Interpreter: Nimesikia jina lake ni Adimokoo. Yaonyesha anatoka katika kabila la Akka. Upande mmoja wa kabila hilo uko chini ya utawala wa mfalme wa Mangbettu. (pause) Angalia, mkuki, upinde na mshale yote hii ni ya asili ya Mangbettu! 30. Schweinfurth: Hmmm alaaa. (cautious) njoo hapa, Adimokoo! Nina chakula kizuri sana cha kukupa! (talking to the others) Nafikiri urefu wake hauzidi futi moja na nusu (cautious) njoo, Adimokoo, njoo tule pamoja! SFX: Light, slow, footsteps from one person approaching on gravel path. In the background: birds, then fade under Flashback music Third Scene: At home at the end of the afternoon. SFX: Kitchen (pots, fire). In the background: chicken, goats, birds, then fade under 31. Grandpa: Georg Schweinfurth hakuwa mvumbuzi mashuhuri kati ya wavumbuzi waliyowahi kwenda huko Afrika, lakini hadithi hii inasaidia kuonyesha mambo mawili: la kwanza ni maingiliano baina ya ulaya na tamaduni za Kiafrika ambazo mpaka hapo zilikuwa bado hazijajulikana. 9

10 32. June: Lakini mjasiri maisha huyo wa Kijerumani hakuwa mbaya, ama sio babu? 33. Grandpa: Naam, Schweinfurth alikuwa mtu wa amani. Lakini kwa bahati mbaya sio wajasiri maisha wote waliotumwa kwenda Afrika walikuwa kama yeye: Henry Morton Stanley, kwa mfano historia haikumzungumzia vizuri kwa sababu ya kumsaidia Leopold wa pili wa Ubelgiji kudumisha ushawishi wake huko Kongo. Licha ya sifa yake ya uvumbuzi, inasemekana aliwatesa sana wasaidizi wake pamoja na wenyeji. 34. June: (surprised) Ndio maana jirani yetu amekasirika sana Grandpa: Na wakati ule katika karne ya 19, kiu cha wazungu kuhusu ardhi kilizidi na kuzidi. Mnamo mwaka 1881, Ufaransa iliiweka Tunisia chini ya mamlaka yake na mwaka uliofutia Uingereza iliikalia Misri. 36. June: Na wengine je? Walikata tamaa? 37. Grandpa: Ha! Tunaomba! wengine makoloni yote na nchi zingine zilizotaka kumiliki makoloni. Wote walikuwa na maslahi yao na nchi moja kati ya hizo, ilikuwa ni Ujerumani! 10

11 38. June: Sasa nimeanza kufahamu 39. Grandpa: Mnamo mwaka 1884, kansela wa Ujerumani, Otto von Bismarck, alimkaribisha mfalme wa dola la Austria na Hangari, pia Ubelgiji. Ufaransa, Uingereza, Italia, Ureno, Urusi na nchi zingine kwenye kongamano la Berlin: na huko nchi za Ulaya zikagawana bara la Afrika... Flashback music Fourth Scene: At the Berlin Conference. SFX: Pencil drawing a line on paper. In the background: middleaged men murmuring 40. Bismarck: (speaking slowly with GERMAN accent while drawing a line) Mstari utapita kuanzia, huko Niger, mpaka Baroua, kaskazini mashariki ya pwani ya ziwa Chad. Eneo la kaskazini kwenye mstari huu litakuwa ni la Ufaransa kutokea sasa na Uingereza itachukua eneo la kusini. 41. France Representative: (speaking with FRENCH accent) Oh oui! C est bon! Ahhh, vizuri sana! 11

12 42. Britain Representative: (speaking with BRITISH accent) Vizuri sana! SFX: Pencil drawing a line on paper. In the background: middleaged men murmuring 43. Bismarck: (speaking slowly with GERMAN accent while drawing) eneo la bonde la Nile litakuwa chini ya Uingereza 44. Italy Representative: (interrupting, speaking with ITALIAN accent, impatiently) Mama Mia! Kansela Bismarck, samahani kwa kukukatiza huoni kama Wafaransa na Waingereza wameshapata vya kutosha? Zamu ya Italia itafika lini? 45. Bismarck: (speaking with GERMAN accent) Indio nilikuwa nakuja Italia sasa! Hamna sababu ya kuhuzunika 46. Italy Representative: (calming down) Buono, buono SFX: Paper, then pencil drawing two lines. In the background: middle-aged men murmuring 12

13 47. Bismarck: (speaking slowly with GERMAN accent while drawing) Naam hii mistari miwili kutoka: kati ya Tropiki ya Kansa na Meridian ya 17 pamoja na usawa wa 15 na Meridian ya 21. Mabwana ushauri wangu ni Italia ichukue sehemu ya kaskazini ya mstari huu Flashback music Fifth Scene: At home in the evening. SFX: Kitchen (pots, fire, kerosene lamp). In the background: crickets, then fade under 48. June: (shocked) Eti nini? Wamechukua ramani ya Afrika na kuweka mistari yao? 49. Grandpa: Naam, hata kama haikuwa hivyo, lakini watu hata leo wanasema kuwa wazungu waliigawa Afrika kwa rula.ukiangalia vizuri utaona mipaka mingi ya nchi za Afrika iko moja kwa moja! Hakuna mtu aliyejali maslahi ya kabila za watu au tamaduni zao. Hakuna hata nchi moja ya Kiafrika iliyo alikwa wala kutia saini kwenye kongamano hilo la Berlin. (pause) Angalia hapa kwenye ramani! 13

14 SFX: Paper, kitchen (pots, fire, kerosene lamp). In the background: crickets, then fade under 50. June: Umesema kweli babu! Hapa angalia Angola! au Sudan! (pause) je. Ujerumani nayo ilikuwa na makoloni huko Afrika mwishowe? 51. Grandpa: Ndio walikuwa nayo, kwa mfano Togo, Cameroon, Namibia, wakati huo yalijulikana kama Ujerumani, Afrika Kusini na Magharibi na Ujerumani, Afrika Mashariki, nchi ambazo sasa ni Tanzania, Burundi na Rwanda June: Hhhhh! Je Wajerumani walikuwa angalau wazuri kwa Waafrika? 53. Grandpa: Hmmm Wajerumani nao walitenda uhalifu kwa mfano mauaji ya halaiki ya Waherero, kundi la watu wa kabila kutoka Namibia. Lakini sio wao peke yao waliotenda uhalifu tufikirie pia Wabelgiji walivyofanya huko Kongo au Wareno walioruhusu vita ya muda mrefu dhidi ya makoloni yake! 54. June: Mpaka Waafrika walipochoka, wakaanzisha migomo na harakati ambazo ziliwaletea uhuru. Si ndio babu? 14

15 55. Grandpa: Hasa! Lakini hiyo nayo ni hadithi nyingine, nitakuhadithia wakati mwingine. Sasa nenda ukamsaidie mama, leo hata hajalalamika...
