520 3    |a In envelope S/28 there is a large collection of modern poetry by the well known poet Ahmadi Nassir Juma, from Mombasa. The poems are mainly short mashairi, all presented here in typescripts. This MS seems to be a copy for publication as the author also includes an introduction (dibaji) to his poetry. S/29 contains a large collection of poetry by various poets from Tanzania, including praise poetry in honour of the famous poet Shaaban Robert, from Tanga. This collection is dated 1962 however this not the dating of each poem but the time when the poems reached the Tanganyika Broadcasting Corporation for assessment for publication. WH Whiteley was a member of the Corporation’s board. S/30 contains the same material as S/29 but all poems here are typed and better presented. Probably this was the final draft for publication.
