On March 26, Maulid appeared on the Binti Kigoma channel and explained that he is suffering from tuberculosis (TB) and his days are numbered and apologized to his family and begged them to bury him when the time comes.
Why Maulid divorced his wife?
In the open interview before his death, Maulid explained that he had a small quarrel with his wife and decided to leave his home for the city, but sadly things did not go well for him.
He had no land, house or anything that he could call his own.
At the same time, Maulid also gave young people advice on how to deal with women in their lives or in marriage, adding that they should not be like him who left after a small argument.
After his story spread, the old man’s children finally reached him and started communicating with him by phone.
“They said life has been good, they have built a house for their beloved mother and own property including cars, they promised to come see her but later changed their minds and said that their mother has refused,” said Binti Kigoma.
In his last days, Maulid was under the care of a trusted neighbor, who fed him and helped him clean the house.
When he died, he called his relatives, but they did not come, and then they met as a community and buried the old man.

Why did Maulid’s family refuse to bury him?
“One person called me and said he was from the same area as Maulid; he collaborated with the old man to talk to his people in Morogoro,” said the neighbor.
“When I asked his son again, the boy revealed that their mother said Maulid wrote a letter that he should be buried by the government if he dies and the same for himself and their children,” said the neighbor.

The 43-year-old man accused his late father of being a dead man, failing to provide him with basic documents like a birth certificate.
With her life on hold, Cindi saw no need to take on the responsibility of burying her father when she felt abandoned while the man was alive.
