1. UFAHAMU
Ghamu alikumbuka walipofanya mtihani wao wa kuhitimu katika shule ya msingi. Ilikuwa sadfa
kwao kwani matokeo yalipotangazwa walijipata katika shule moja ya upili. Fauka ya hayo,
hatimaye, walijiunga katika chuo kikuu kimoja na kuishia kufanya kozi moja. Sasa Ghamu
anaghubikwa na huzuni zaidi anapokumbuka hayo yote.
" Pandeni gari hili la kifahari twende zetu. Hii ni bahati yenu. Bahati huja tu mara moja. Pandeni
gari warembo. Kwa nini wasichana warembo kama nyinyi wapigwe na jua. " Ghamu alikumbuka
maneno ya mzee yule aliyejitambulisha kama Mzito. Zawadi alikuwa ameketi na rafikiye,
Ghamu, kwenye bustani ya Hewa. Ilikuwa mazoea yao kuenda kupunga hewa katika mazingira
hayo wikendi. Mzee mmoja alishusha kioo cha gari lake aina ya Mercedes Benz. Gari hilo
lilikuwa jipya kabisa. Zawadi na Ghamu walidinda kuingia ila mzee yule wa umri wa miaka
kama sabini hivi alisema. Alikuwa na upara na mvi kwenye sehemu ndogo ya kichwa
kilichokuwa na nywele.
Mzee yule alizidi kujaribu kuwashawishi mabinti hawa. Ushawishi wa Mzito ulifua dafu Zawadi
alipomwashiria Ghamu waingie garini. Hii ni baada ya mzee kuwaahidi kuwapeleka hoteli ya
kifahari wale na kunywa. Ghamu alishangazwa na uamuzi wa Zawadi. Alijaribu kumshauri
asiingie kwenye gari hilo lakini Zawadi alitia sikio nta. Hatimaye, Ghamu alikataa katakata na
Zawadi akaingia kwenye gari lile. Zawadi alipungia mkono na kumwambia, " ishi kwa ufukara
wako, mimi sasa ninauaga.
Tangu siku hiyo, maisha ya Zawadi ilibadilika. Alipangiwa jumba la kifahari jijini. Akanunuliwa
nguo mpya za kifahari. Kila siku alivalia nguo mpya alipoingia darasani. Si sketi, si suruali
ndefu, si viatu. Alijitia vipodozi ainati. Alisuka mitindo mbalimbali ya nywele. Alikula katika
hoteli za kifahari. Kila wikendi,hawakwenda tena bustani ya Hewa kama ilivyokuwa ada yao.
2
Alienda visiwa vya Lamu, Kwale, Mombasa na maeneo mengine ya kifahari. Maisha haya
yalimtenga na Ghamu kama mbingu na ardhi. Kila alipomwona Ghamu, Zawadi alimtazama kwa
bezo.
" Unamjua msichana anayeitwa Zawadi? " Ghamu aliambiwa kwa simu. Awali hili lilimtia
kiwewe. Alipojibu kuwa anamjua, alifahamishwa kuwa mwili wake umepatikana kule Mto Yala.
Habari hizo zilisambaa sana katika mitandao ya kijamii hata zikawafikia wazaziwe Zawadi bila
hodi. Huzuni ilitanda. Zawadi alikuwa mtoto wa pekee kwa wazazi wao. Alikuwa nyota yao.
Uchunguzi ulifanywa na kubaini kuwa Zawadi alikuwa ameuawa, viungo vyake vya mwili
kutolea na kupelekwa kusikojulikana. Mzito alidaiwa kuwa alikuwa raia wa nchi nyingine
aliyekuwa Kenya kwa njia isiyokuwa halali. Alikuwa keshatoroka baada ya kutenda unyama ule.

2. UFUPISHO
Soma kifungu kifuatacho kasha ujibu maswali.
Kila msanii anacho kifaa chake ambacho anakitumia, ambacho kinakuwa alama ya usanii wake.
Mchoraji anategemea sana kalamu au rangi zake na mchongaji anao ubao au mti wake.
Vivyo hivyo mwanafasihi naye anategemea lugha katika usanii wake. Matumizi ya lugha ni
miongoni mwa mambo muhimu yanayotofautisha kazi ya fasihi na kazi isiyo ya fasihi. Jinsi
ambavyo mwandishi anavyoitumia lugha yake na kiwango cha usanii anachofurahia ndivyo
alama muhimu inayomtofautisha na mwandishi mwingine wa fasihi.
Katika uhakiki wa kazi za fasihi za hivi karibuni, hasa katika Kiswahili, kumekuwa na msisitizo
mkubwa katika maudhui ya kazi hizo au kwa lugha rahisi, ujumbe unaotolewa na mwandishi.
4
Hivyo maswali yanayoulizwa ni kama: Kazi hii ina umuhimu gani katika jamii ya leo?
Inajengaje tabia, mwenendo na mwelekeo wa jamii? Ina maadili gani?
Mara nyingi, wahakiki hawaulizi mwandishi alivyofaulu kisanaa isipokuwa kama jambo la
ziada tu mwishoni. Uhakiki wa namna hii hasa umehusu kazi za fasihi zisizo za ushauri, kwa
sababu imekubalika kwa muda mrefu kuwa mshauri ni lazima aitawale lugha yake vizuri ndipo
aweze kuleta ule mvuto maalum unaotakiwa na kufikia viwango vinavyokubalika katika fani hii.
Haiwezekani kutenganisha maudhui na usanii katika kazi yoyote ile ya fasihi. Ujumbe unaoletwa
katika kazi ya fasihi unaweza kutolewa na mtu mwingine yeyote kwa njia nyingine. Ujumbe huo
unaweza kutolewa kwa njia ya hotuba, vitabu au maongezi ya kawaida.
Katika isimu ya lugha, tunaposema ya kwamba mwanadamu anajua lugha yake, tuna maana
kuwa “amemeza” mfumo wa lugha yake wa matamshi, muundo wa maneno, muundo wa
sentensi na maana zinazokusudiwa. Ujuzi alio nao mwanadamu huyu ni sawa, na ujuzi walionao
wanadamu wengine wa jamii yake wanaozungumza lugha moja. Hivyo tukisema kuwa
mwanadamu aongee lugha. hatuna maana tu ya kule kumeza mfumo wake wa lugha bali ni
uwezo wake wa kuitumia katika mahusiano yake na wanajamii wengine. Katika lugha yoyote ile
kuna mitindo mingi inayotumika kutegemea kile kinachozungumziwa.Hivyo, tunaweza kuwa na
mtindo wa siasa, sheria dini na kadhalika. Pia upo mtindo wa kawaida unaotumika.
Katika mawasiliano ya kila siku ya wanajamii moja, katika mtindo huu, kuna matumizi ya aina
mbalimbali yakihusiana na nyanja tofauti za maisha. Matumizi haya yanaitwa rejesta kwa lugha
ya kitaalam. Rejesta yoyote ile inategemea nani anazungumza nini na nani, wapi kuhusu nini na
kwa sababu gani.
Mtu anayejua lugha yake vizuri, tunategemea aweze kuitumia katika mitindo iliyobadilika na
aweze kujua mazingira anayopaswa kutumia mtindo mmoja badala ya mwingine. Katika
mahusiano ya kawaida, mtumiaji wa lugha anapaswa kujua ni rejesta gani anapaswa kutumia kila
wakati. Mwandishi wa habari lazima awe “amefuzu” katika kuweka haya matumizi tofauti ya
lugha.

Mwandishi huyu anatakiwa kuwa mtafiti ili ajue yale matumizi ambayo yeye hana haja nayo
katika mahusiano yake ya kawaida na huyo aweze kuchora jamii yake inayostahili katika kazi
yake. Sababu kubwa ya kumtaka mwanafasihi kuyajua kinaganaga matumizi tofauti ni ule
ukweli kuwa kazi ya fasihi haina mpaka na utumizi wa lugha.
Maswali.
