Tanzanian born journalist-economist-cum-author, Swallehe Msuya died peacefully in his Minneapolis home and his body will be flown to his home town back in Africa for a burial soon. 
"This comes as a shock and blow to the African Community. We have just lost one of our best and brightest newsman" said African News Journal's Ntuv E. Tunka. "...... and I am sure, everyone who knew Mr.Msuya feels the same way." 
Also, Tom Gitaa of Mshale who spoke to Bashe Said earlier expressed the same feeling. "It is extremely sad and unbelievable"  Tom told Bashe that he is trying to reach out to his family members here in Minnesota and see what we can do to help .
" It came as a shock and left me speachless; hearing this sad news " said Petros Haile of African Global Roots.
