About the Author and the Work
Mathias E. Mnyampala (1917–1969) was a renowned Tanzanian lawyer, writer, and poet who composed his works in Kiswahili. The original manuscript of his autobiography was written between 1968 and 1969, shortly before his passing.
Discovery and Provenance
This unpublished work remained unknown to the scientific community for nearly 40 years. It was located, identified, and brought to light in 2007 in Dodoma (United Republic of Tanzania) by the researcher Mathieu Roy, following the scholarly directives of Professor Mugyabuso Mlinzi Mulokozi from the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM).
During his field research, Mathieu Roy successfully located the author’s heir, who had been safeguarding his father's records. The document had been preserved in Dodoma, alongside other unpublished manuscripts and rare literary archives, by Charles M. Mnyampala—the author’s second son—who was entrusted by his father in 1969 with the mission to conserve and publish these precious records.
The 2013 Posthumous Edition
This 2013 edition represents the first posthumous publication of the original manuscript. It restores Mnyampala’s complete autobiographical text and includes an introduction by Charles M. Mnyampala. It features reproductions of documents from the Mnyampala archives, including the initial manuscript pages of the autobiography, official records, and photographs.

🇹🇿 Marehemu Mathias E. Mnyampala (1917-1969) aliandika habari za maisha yake wakati alipokuwa ameshaona kwamba anakomea mwisho wa uhai wake kutokana na kuumwa sana na ndwele kati ya mwaka 1968 na 1969. Wakati huo alikuwa ameshakuza sana lugha ya Kiswahili kwa ufasaha wake wa kishairi na mambo mengine mengi, pamoja na vitabu vyake kuhusu historia ya Ugogo, siasa ya Ujamaa, dini na maisha ya watu maarufu kama Mtemi Mazengo na Sheikh Kaluta Amri Abedi.
Kwa sababu alifanikiwa sana kutoka utoto wake katika machunga ya Ugogo, bila kujua kusoma wala kuandika hadi umri wa kuoa mke, mpaka kufikia ubingwa wa lugha ya Kiswahili na utungaji wa vitabu zaidi ya ishirini na tano, anachukuliwa na wataalamu na washairi wenzake kuwa malenga mkuu wa karne iliyopita. Alikuwa mzalendo mkubwa wa Taifa la Tanzania na alijitolea kueneza lugha ya Kiswahili maisha yake yote. Mchango wake ni mkuu, kiasi cha kupewa heshima ya Nishani ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Mheshimiwa Rais Ali Hassan Mwinyi mwaka 1994.
Mswada huu wa tawasifu yake uliandikwa mnamo 1968-1969 na ulibaki kwa zaidi ya miaka arobaini bila kuchapishwa, hadi ulipogunduliwa mwaka 2007 mjini Dodoma na Dkt. Mathieu Roy. Akifuata maelekezo ya Profesa Mugyabuso Mlinzi Mulokozi, alifanikiwa kumpata mrithi wa mwandishi aliyekuwa akihifadhi nyaraka za baba yake, Mathias E. Mnyampala.
Toleo hili la mwaka 2013 ni toleo la kwanza la mswada huo kuchapishwa baada ya kifo cha mwandishi. Mswada ulikuwa umehifadhiwa kwa makini sana na Charles M. Mnyampala, mtoto wa pili wa mwandishi, tangu kifo cha baba yake mwaka 1969. Toleo hilo la shirika la DL2A – Buluu Publishing (Ufaransa) linatoa nafasi ya pekee ya kugundua maisha ya gwiji huyo. Kwa ziada linajumuisha nakala za hati kutoka katika kumbukumbu za Mnyampala, zikiwemo kurasa za kwanza za mswada wa tawasifu, nyaraka rasmi, pamoja na picha.

Le manuscrit original de son autobiographie fut rédigé entre 1968 et 1969, peu avant sa disparition.

Mnyampala — second fils de l'écrivain — à qui son père avait confié, dès 1969, la mission de conserver et de publier ces précieux témoignages.

🇩🇪 Mathias E. Mnyampala (1917–1969) war ein renommierter tansanischer Jurist, Schriftsteller und Dichter, der sein Werk auf Kiswahili verfasste. Das Originalmanuskript seiner Autobiografie entstand zwischen 1968 und 1969, unmittelbar vor seinem Ableben. Dieses unveröffentlichte Werk blieb über Jahrzehnte hinweg verborgen, bis es im Jahr 2007 von Mathieu Roy in Dodoma (Vereinigte Republik Tansania) wiederentdeckt wurde. Den Hinweisen von Professor Mugyabuso Mlinzi Mulokozi folgend, gelang es Roy, den Erben des Autors ausfindig zu machen, der den schriftlichen Nachlass seines Vaters, Mathias E. Mnyampala, verwahrt hatte. Die vorliegende Edition aus dem Jahr 2013 stellt die erste posthume Veröffentlichung des Originalmanuskripts dar.
Das Dokument war in Dodoma zusammen mit weiteren unveröffentlichten Manuskripten und seltenen literarischen Archivbeständen von Charles M. Mnyampala – dem zweitältesten Sohn des Autors – bewahrt worden. Dieser war von seinem Vater im Jahr 1969 mit dem Auftrag betraut worden, diese wertvollen Zeugnisse zu konservieren und zu publizieren. Die vorliegende Kiswahili-Ausgabe restituiert Mnyampalas vollständigen autobiografischen Text und enthält ein Vorwort von Charles M. Mnyampala. Zudem umfasst diese Edition Reproduktionen von Dokumenten aus dem Mnyampala-Archiv, darunter die ersten Manuskriptseiten der Autobiografie, offizielle Dokumente sowie Fotografien.
