    Very well said Mr President,Michael was a good and very hard working man, as you said, only that some people were out there to get him at any cost and they almost ruined his carrier, they failed b'se they couldnt take away the fact tha he is "the king of pop", but they managed to ruin his reputation! But thanx to good people like you Mzee Ruksa, who met him personally and can tell us of a good person he was.May he find Peace in haven where no one will accuse him!Amen.

    Truly up this time am sad and it is hard to take it.this man was humble and his music touched millions of people around the world.

    I'm praying for him to rest in peace.

    Sijawahi kusikia kwamba Micheal ana uadui na mtu yeyote even kwenye kazi ya muziki.

    Sikupendezwa na yeye kubadirisha skin color but if u see things carefully unaweza ukajua kwanini mshikaji alifanya hivyo!

    Jackson hakuweza kuenjoy utoto wake kama mtoto already akiwa mtoto alisha kuwa super star which means alikuwa hawezi kufanya kile anacho kitaka just like that na akili yake likuwa enda kwenye level ya watu wakubwa tofauti na umri wake.

    Ulikuwa na pesa na aliona kila kitu kina wezekana kama una pesa as young and successful child in the whole world.

    na kipindi hicho black skin ilionekana kama nothing na yeye kwa akili na maamuzi ya kitoto akaona afanye hivyo.

    So watu wanao mjaji kwa hicho kwamba alifanya maajabu.

    swali kwao ni jiulize Mungu amekupa kuwa na pesa kwa umri wa 10 years na kuendelea kuongezea pesa ukiwa mdogo utafanyanini au ungefanya nini?

    May his soul rest in peace and i will always honor him for his greatest talent which he shared with us from different coner of the world.

    Na Mh. Ruksa kweli ulicho sema nimekikubari kabisa.

    Poleni wote pia na tuzidi kumkumbuka katika sara na kukumbuka kazi yake pia na watoto wake pia.

    Otherwise mimi ninacho kiona kwenye hi picha yake na Mzee Ruksa ni kwamba living room ya prezo wetu ilikuwa ya kigumu sana tadhani sebure moja mitaa ya Sinza!!!!!!!!Kama kwa prezo kulikuwa hivyo je kwa mwanaichi wa kawaida ilikuwa vipi?????? kweli maisha TZ yalikuwa tight that time. Nakumbuka sana

    With all due respect, it is time to give our leaders the status they deserve and give ourselves a recognisable level of pride. I am trying the recall the paper in which Remmy Ongala was pictured at the State House. Yes, I think it was in the pre-creation days...
