Idris’ open letter to Kanumba

Dear Kanumba,

Najua ulikua hunijui ila nilitembea kwa miguu kutoka mbezi kimara mpaka kinondoni kuja kukuzika. Ni mda mrefu sana umekua ukitembea na sisi kuomba upumzishwe, sasa naamini utapumzika kabisa. Allah akufanyie wepesi na milele utabaki mioyoni mwetu. Tulifunga njia, kazi na hata kuhema vizuri wengine tulishindwa na tukapata depression kubwa sanaaaa yote kwasababu ulitugusa katika mfano usioelezeka. Naamini haki yako sasa imepatikana na namuombea sana mama yako apewe nguvu na amani ya moyo. Finally Rested.
Ni mimi wako katika matumaini ya urithi wa ufalme wa movie Tanzania, Idris Sultan
