A Kenyan teacher who had lived and worked in Tanzania for nearly a decade has reportedly been killed in the ongoing unrest that has gripped parts of the country.
Speaking on Tuesday, November 4, his sister said the family last spoke to him in September before learning of his death this week.
“My brother has been in Tanzania for almost 8 years. I remember the last time I talked to him was on 22nd September when he was wishing me my birthday,” she said.
She said they have since been informed that his body is lying at a hospital mortuary in Dar es Salaam.
“Currently, we were told he is in the Mwananyamala Hospital Mortuary. The district where he died is Ubungo and the ward in Goba,” she added.
Describing him as a calm and respectful person, she recalled his humility and gentle nature even during disagreements.
“He never spoke where adults are and never argued with an adult; and even if we had issues, he would remind me that I’m older than him and he cannot argue with me,” she further said.
Meanwhile, Viral Scout Management, a sports management consultancy in Dar es Salaam, confirmed the deaths of seven young footballers among those killed in the ongoing unrest in Tanzania.
In a statement on Monday, November 3, the agency stated that the players, aged between 15 and 22, were reportedly gunned down at their homes in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, and Mwanza.

“Viral Scout Management is heartbroken to announce the devastating loss of seven promising young football talents under our management: Rajabu Rajab (17), Anthony Rico (18), Abdulqareem Ali (16), Peter Eliya (19), Mshani Musa (17), Omar Musa (15), and John Hosea (22).
“These vibrant players were gunned down in senseless acts of violence at their homes in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, and Mwanza,” the statement read.
In the emotional statement, the agency condemned the killings, describing them as an assault on the country’s youth and on football itself.
“We vehemently condemn the killings of civilians and players alike. No one deserves to have their dreams stolen in such a brutal manner. These young athletes were the future of Tanzanian football, dedicated to their craft and inspiring countless others,” the statement added.
The management group urged authorities to act swiftly to ensure justice for the victims and to enhance security for young people across the country.
“We call on authorities to deliver swift justice and urge enhanced protection for our youth. Rest in peace, our stars. Your legacy lives on,” the statement concluded.
