Maji’s encounter with his son, both engulfed in the struggle for a common cause, was a moment of profound connection and solidarity.
"Choked up in the smoke, a day to remember when your voice as an electorate does not matter, but the interests of a few in a closed room," Maji Maji recounted.
Despite the bill passing with a vote of 204-115, the shared experience underscored the need for political reorganization and the importance of making every voice count in the future.
"The best news that could happen to any parent is that I bumped into my son in the protests! It felt very good...we are on the same page! And also my art son King Kaka hakuwachwa nyuma," Maji added, expressing his delight at being joined by his son and fellow artist King Kaka.
