For Fratern Masawe · 25d ago
My mother kept the Jesuit mission newsletter a cousin used to send from Dar es Salaam, and that is where I first read Fratern Masawe's name, in a short piece about Hekima College. Years later I came across a recording of his 2024 address for the college's anniversary, where he said he still carried 'a forty year old part of Hekima' within him. I watched it alone at my desk in Utrecht and sat with that line for a long time. Strange to be moved by a man you only ever knew through a page and a screen.
