I have been deeply touched by your history about our"Mother,mzhere wehu Mekatilili wa Menza"!! Honestly your news is full of pathos and sangfroid,keep it up.Iam in custody of some information from a european univerity library which put the founder of "Mtanganyiko port/village as "Mzee Swalehe Lenga"a kauma who converted to islam.He was a serious buisnes man competing with the "Mazurui family of Takaungu"In june 1895, Aziz bin Rashid (liwali) stormed Mtanganyiko with an army of 500 men attacked and destroyed it and most of the survivours fled to Konjora/Tezo.The puzzle and the whereabouts of Mzee Wanje wa mwadori Kola can oly be explained by the descant of the Mazuruis clan at Takaungu.Also in a sperate file,the late Mzee Lenga had a cousin by the name Mriro Tsori Ali at Kilifi, you can try to pin up some imfornation from him/them, we must find his remains and have a decent burrial.Regards from cold europe!!
