SPOOK DISRUPTS NYERERE BURIAL

SEVERAL mourners were reportedly injured on Sunday while fleeing from the grave of Tanzanian leader Julius Nyerere after hearing a spooky voice in the vicinity. Villagers said the voice was that of Muhunda, a well-known spirit among Nyerere’s Zanaki tribe, who has the capability of transforming into the image of any living being. Nyerere’s nephew, Magembe Daniel, is among the mourners who reportedly sustained leg injuries and had to be attended to at the village dispensary.
