Some artists took it to social media after the Head of State, Samia Suluhu Hassan made the death announcement on a televised programme on the national broadcaster TBC 1.<\/p>\n<p>She said Mzee Mwinyi who served as the Tanzania\u2019s second phase President from 1985 to 1995 lost the battle to lung cancer while receiving treatment at Mzena Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Artists, like other Tanzanians expressed their shock and sadness for the demise of the 98-year former head of State. Peter Msechu mourned in style by composing a special song for Mzee Mwinyi within 12 hours. In some of the verses in his song, Msechu expressed how the fallen former Head of State was a hardworking and a man of wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>He quoted some of Mzee Mwinyi\u2019s saying, which expressed the need for people to respect each other and leave good record after they are promoted to glory. In one of the events, the fallen former Head of State urged Tanzanians to love, respect and value each other.<\/p>\n<p>In his song, Msechu said Mzee Mwinyi was a father and grandfather to many and that his life is good example to many. He expressed the big loss the nation has suffered following his demise and asked fellow Tanzanians to live his legacy. He said Mzee Mwinyi will be dearly missed for his lively and cheerful behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>He concludes by asking Mwinyi to come back for just a moment so they can talk to him and bid him farewell, hoping that the Lord will receive him in peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Samia mourns you, Tanzanians are crying for you, Mama Siti is grieving, and Dr Hassan Mwinyi is weeping for you. We will miss your wisdom but will remember your wisdom,\u201d reads one of the verses. Other artists who took it to social media were Naseeb Abdul (Diamond Platnumz), Juma Mkambala (Jux), Faustina Mfinanga (Nandy), Zuhura Soud (Zuchu), Joseph Mbilinyi (Sugu), Christina Shusho, and Dulla Makabila to mention a few.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond Platnumz replaced his profile photo on Instagram with that of Mzee Mwinyi. He wrote a condolences message praying for his soul to rest in peace. Juma Jux wrote, \u201cRest in peace grandfather,\u201d while Nandy and Zuchu posted pictures of Mzee Mwinyi. Similarly, Dulla Makabila expressed his sadness and prayed for strength to all Tanzanians in this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Mbilinyi (Sugu) thanked Mwinyi for his leadership and policies that opened up the world for Tanzanians.<\/p>\n<p>Christina Shusho expressed her shock and sadness, praying for President Samia Suluhu Hassan and all Tanzanians.<\/p>\n<p>RIP Mzee Rukhsa<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
