He was to turn only 47 years old next month, and<br> so may have been expected to have plenty more to contribute in many ways.<br> <br> It appears that for some undetermined reason, he lost control of his Honda<br> CRV on Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road, just after passing the small feeder road out<br> of Leader's Club. This caused his car to mount the high pavement and it was<br> stopped by a tree that was hit sideways between the front wheel and the<br> driver's door. We were told that he died instantly of his injuries.<br> <br> I had spent some time with him during the evening before, and he had at the<br> time a very positive mindset brought on by a whole range of issues, one of<br> which was a family get-together due for Sunday afternoon, towards which he<br> had been shopping. And we also discussed a number of forthcoming<br> work-related events which we were preparing jointly.<br> <br> My deepest sympathies go to all among us who knew or interacted with him in<br> any way. Arrangements are being made to set up an online condolence book,<br> so that we may be able to express our sorrow and share our support and<br> memories with his family. I hope to be able to provide you a URL for this<br> before tomorrow.<br> <br> In terms of immediate family, Simbo leaves behind a two children (adolescent<br> and young-adult) who were living with him in Dar, and a wife (their mother)<br> who is due in from Nairobi today. He also has his mother and elder brother<br> who are due in from Kampala. Then he leaves a large extended family with<br> members in Tanzania as well as in Kenya and Uganda. Also grieving for him<br> is a vast network of friends scattered across all four corners of the globe,<br> including this online community.<br> <br> May our Almighty God bless Simbo's soul with eternal peace!<br> <br> Yours in grief,<br> David Sawe.<o:p></o:p></p> </div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:white">__._,_.___</span> <o:p></o:p></p> <div id="ygrp-actbar"><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="left"><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/message/12679;_ylc=X3oDMTM2Y3Y1Y2VhBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BG1zZ0lkAzEyNjc5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MAR0cGNJZAMxMjY3OQ--">Messages in this topic </a>(</span><span class="bld">1</span><span class="left">) </span><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxazdscGg5BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BG1zZ0lkAzEyNjc5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--?act=reply&messageNum=12679"><span class="bld">Reply </span>(via web post) </a>| <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlbmEzcnY3BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--">Start a new topic </a><o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div id="ygrp-vitnav"><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJlYmRrNnNuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA21zZ3MEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--">Messages</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZzgwZ25mBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2ZpbGVzBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-">Files</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJldGhzM2k5BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Bob3QEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--">Photos</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZmw5am9oBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2xpbmtzBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-">Links</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJjcXVrOTAxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2RiBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-">Database</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMG1rbDg2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3BvbGxzBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-">Polls</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJlajJlajJsBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA21icnMEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--">Members</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJkaGg0M3M0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2NhbARzdGltZQMxMjE2MDMyNjQw">Calendar</a> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div id="ygrp-grft"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Anyone who would like to join eThinkTankTz is welcome to do so by sending a blank email to:<br> <a href="mailto:eThinkTankTz-subscribe@yahoogroups.com">eThinkTankTz-subscribe@yahoogroups.com</a><br> <br> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div id="ygrp-mkp"> <div id="hd"><p class="MsoNormal">MARKETPLACE<o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div id="ads"> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"> <hr size="1" width="100%" noshade="" style="color:#A0A0A0" align="center"> </div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=13r4ku05h/M=624381.12730922.13032918.10835568/D=groups/S=1705110266:MKP1/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1216039841/L=/B=gWWXBELaX94-/J=1216032641215719/A=5396684/R=0/SIG=14ejsu8ik/*http:/media.adrevolver.com/adrevolver/href?banner=197792&place=26143&url_=http://tc.deals.yahoo.com/tc/blockbuster/display.com?cid=bbi00027%0d%0a">Yahoo!
