NA DIRAMAKINI
MKE wa aliyekuwa Rais wa Awamu ya Tano wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Hayati Dkt.John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, Mama Janeth Magufuli ameshiriki katika ibada ya kumbukumbu ya siku aliyofariki aliyekuwa Katibu Mkuu Kiongozi Balozi John Kijazi huko Korogwe mkoani Tanga.
Balozi Kijazi alifariki dunia Jumatano ya Februari 17, 2021 saa 3 usiku katika Hospitali ya Benjamin Mkapa jijini Dodoma alikokuwa akipatiwa matibabu.
Mama Janeth Magufuli aliambatana na Mke wa Balozi Kijazi, Mama Fransisca Kijazi pamoja na familia wakiwemo viongozi wa dini.
Wakati huo huo, akiwa bado Korogwe, Mama Janeth Magufuli amekutana na Padri Severine Msemwa aliyewafungisha ndoa yeye na Hayati Magufuli miaka 33 iliyopita katika kanisa la Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es salaam.
Wakati wa uhai wake, Hayati Rais Dkt.Magufuli aliwahi kusema kwamba, alifunga ndoa bila kuvaa koti la suti na mkewe Janeth hakuvaa gauni la bibi harusi.
Ndoa hiyo ilifungwa wakati Magufuli akiwa mwanafunzi katika kanisa la Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam (UDSM) na haikuambatana na sherehe yoyote.
Akiongea katika mdahalo uliofanyika UDSM kutathmini miaka mitatu ya uongozi wake wa nchi, Magufuli alisema alifurahi kurudi chuoni hapo ambapo si tu alipata elimu yake ya juu bali kufunga pingu za maisha.
"Siku niliyooa watu wengi hawakujua na haimaanishi sikuwa na pesa ya kununua koti au gauni la harusi kwa mke wangu, sikuona kama vitu hivyo ni vya msingi sana.
"Tulienda hapo kanisani pete tukanunuliwa na Padri, tena zilikuwa za shaba. Padre pia alitununulia soda, nakumbuka mimi nilikunywa pepsi na mke wangu alikunywa mirinda.Baada ya hapo nikaenda zangu lab (maabara) kuendelea na shughuli zangu,"alikaririwa Hayati Rais Dkt.Magufuli.
Padre ambaye aliwafungisha ndoa hiyo na kutoa ufadhili wa pete na soda kwa mujibu wa Rais Magufuli anaitwa Msemwa na sasa yupo Tanga. "Mfuateni father (Padri) Msemwa yeye atawaeleza vizuri zaidi."
Katika hatua nyingine, wakati huo Magufuli pia alisema hata ndoa za watoto wake huwa haziambatani na sherehe kubwa, "mpaka sasa watoto zangu watatu wameshafunga ndoa na sikufanya sherehe kubwa. Mmoja alifunga ndoa tayari nikiwa madarakani, lakini wala hamkusikia."
Rais Dkt.Magufuli alifariki dunia Machi 17, 2021 katika Hospitali ya Mzena jijini Dar es Salaam akiwa na umri wa miaka 61 kwa maradhi ya moyo.
