Nasikitika kutangaza kifo cha ami yangu, babangu na somo yangu (yeye ndiye aliyenipa jina Ahmad), Ustadh Ahmad Nassir Juma Bhalo maarufu Malenga wa Mvita kilichotokea mapema leo mtaani Kuze, Mombasa. Ustadh Juma Bhalo aliaga dunia baada ya kuugua maradhi ya mapafu kwa muda. Atakumbukwa na wapenzi wa lugha teule ya Kiswahili kutokana na mchango wake kupitia tasnia ya utunzi wa mashairi uliyompelekea kutwikwa vyeo vya Ustadh na Malenga. Mwendazake ataswaliwa kesho (Alhamisi) msikiti TSS Ganjoni baada ya swala ya alasiri na kuzikwa katika maziara ya Wakilindini eneo la Ganjoni, Mombasa. Allah amuweke pahali pema peponi. Ameen.
