Hundreds of people attended the burial ceremony of veteran journalist, late Stanley Kamana yesterday at the Kinondoni cemetery in Dar es Salaam.
Relatives, friends, journalists from various media houses had earlier tearfully paid his body the last respects at his house in Tandika, Dar es Salaam.
The IPP Executive Chairman Reginald Mengi, Former Prime Minister Joseph Sinde Warioba, Habari Corporation Chairman, Generali Ulimwengu, CCM Union presidential candidate Jakaya Kikwete, NCCR-Mageuzi presidential candidate Sengondo Mvungi, were among the many dignitaries who attended the burial ceremony.
James Mpinga representing staff from IPP media said, the death of Kamana was a hard blow to the media fraternity.
’’He was a hard working man. I don’t think if his gap will be easily replaced. His contribution was of great impact to the development of the country,’’ said Mpinga.
Reverend Samson Kameeta of Tanzania Assemblies of God (TAG), Tandika Mabatini Parish, in his sermon, told the mourners they should invest in the kingdom of God by committing good deeds.
Many people described Kamana as a man of the people.
He left six children and a widow Zakia Kamana. Kamana died of heart attack at Temeke Municipal Hospital in Dar es Salaam last Thursday aged 58. Until his death, he was working for IPP Media as a Sub editor.
