Source text - Swahili na vile vile leo tutazungumzia uongozi na tunaposema juu ya uongozi au kiongozi ni uongozi wowote ule. Ina maana kwamba katika jamii yetu kuna viongozi mbali mbali –kuna viongozi wa mila,ni viongozi halali kabisa, kuna viongozi wa madhehebu mbali mbali na wao ni viongozi halali kabisa wanatambulika kama viongozi,vile vile mnao viongozi wa serikali ,ama wa kuteuliwa ama wa kupigiwa kura lakini tunaposema viongozi ni kwa ujumla wao wote hawa,sijui tunaelewana?
Translation - English And today we will talk about leadrship and when we talk about leadership, it is any type of leadership. It means that in our society there different leaders, there are clan elders, traditional leaders, they are really legal leaders, there are leaders of various denominations and they are also recognized as leaders, you also have government leaders, either appointed or elected through votes but when we say leaders, it is generally, all of them. I do not know if we understand it, do we?
