FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 6, the sudden disappearance of Lonare, just days before the election, sparks great chaos and despair among his supporters. Lonare, who had a routine of exercising near his residence, vanished without a hint. His disappearance stirs panic and widespread anxiety, leading to an extensive search. Despite their relentless efforts, Mangwasha, her husband, and other supporters find only Lonare's shoe and wristwatch. The discovery amplifies their growing fear. Numerous theories suggest Lonare has been bribed or has purposefully withdrawn from the election. As the election day approaches, some supporters start to lose hope, lashing out in frustration, and accusing Lonare of deceit. Conversely, Lesulia and his supporters are already celebrating their anticipated victory, further infuriating Lonare's followers. Regardless, determined supporters decide they will still vote for Lonare, signifying their resistance against a regime without Lonare. Amid an atmosphere of ruefulness, the election day finally arrives. Unfortunately, no information regarding Lonare's situation appears, pushing many supporters to vote with a heavy heart or entirely abstaining from voting. The chapter concludes with Mangwasha and her husband proceeding to vote early in the morning, their hearts burdened with sorrow. Continuing from the previous segment of Chapter 6, the distressed Mangwasha awakens from another restless night due to Lonare's mysterious disappearance. Her husband Mrima joins her in this worry-induced insomnia, spending the night reading his books without understanding a single word. One day, in a surprising turn of events, Mangwasha finds the weak and wounded Lonare lying at her doorstep. His appearance shocks the community. Majeraha on his body and worn-out clothes suggest that he suffered greatly. Mangwash prompts her neighbors to help a semi-conscious Lonare. She shows leadership, taking Lonare in her home before being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatments. News of Lonare's discovery ignites joy across the nation and community, as hope is restored. Lonare makes a heartfelt plea to Ngoswe, the son of his political rival Lesulia, to use his wealth for the betterment of their nation instead of engaging in illegal activities. He even discloses Ngoswe's shady dealings and connections, laying out the full extent of his corrupt network. This revelation triggers remorse in Ngoswe, and with the encouragement of his friends Mashauri, and Lombo, he pledges to turn over a new leaf. Lesulia's anticipatory joy over Lonare's disappearance quickly dissolves after learning of his reappearance whilst Sagilu, facing legal troubles, hopes for Lesulia's win. The chapter concludes with Mangwasha and other community members casting their votes despite the uncertainty surrounding Lonare. Amid long queues and growing anxiety, the citizens of Matuo fulfill their civic duty, daring to hope for a better governance regardless of the storm they had weathered. In the final segment of Chapter 6, the citizens of Matuo return home after casting their votes, cautiously optimistic yet aware of potential instances of fraud occurring during the election, particularly in the town of Taria as corroborated by multiple arrests. Surprisingly, early reports suggest that Lonare is leading, which sparks celebratory cheers amongst his supporters. While Lonare's opponents, including Lesulia and Sagilu, brood over their impending defeat, Lonare returns home from the hospital, visibly weak but jovially energized by his potential victory. As Lonare's triumph becomes apparent, Sagilu drowns his sorrows and disbelief with alcohol, spiraling further into despair and lashing out futilely. Despite medical advisories urging him to abstain from alcohol, Sagilu flagrantly continues drinking, cursing everyone, and blaming them for his crushing defeat. Meanwhile, Lesulia suffers his own shock and spiral into oblivion, plagued by accusations and an onset of irrationality that eventually isolates him from his supporters. In contrast to Lesulia's meltdown, Lonare and his supporters are jubilantly basking in their victory. Lonare, despite his physical frailties, delivers a rousing speech outlining his government's intentions to rectify the plummeting economy, eradicate corruption, and generate jobs for Matuo's youth. His pledges are met with loud applause and cheers from those present, culminating in raucous celebrations symbolizing a newfound hope for the future of Matuo. The chapter concludes with optimistic anticipation of a different political milieu under Lonare's leadership. In the concluding piece of chapter 6 from the Swahili novel 'Nguu za Jadi', newly elected leader Lonare gives a rousing speech. He advocates for gender equality, asserting that his government will ensure equal public responsibilities between men and women. Calling out each individual as a leader, he warns against political deceit while urging everyone to question their biases and to eliminate tribalism, which he labels as destructive. He also encourages the citizens of Matuo to reject wrongdoing whenever they see it, emphasizing the importance of moral resistance in societal growth. He tags leadership as not simply a role, but rather the consequence of actions. Lonare's speech meets with enthusiastic applause which makes numerous people ponder their former practices, particularly those involved in tribalism and corruption. His powerful address is celebrated not just in Matuo but also in the neighboring nations, signalling the hopes of the population rejuvenated. Echoing the sentiments of her fellow citizens, protagonist Mangwasha praises Lonare's speech, hopeful that the new leader will lead them out of their existing troubles. She sees the profound wisdom shining through his words as Lonare's acclaim spreads rapidly. Lonare demonstrates wisdom and great poise by avoiding confrontations with his adversaries, instead focusing on applying his leadership principles, thus wrapping up the chapter on a hopeful note with Mangwasha and the other citizens ready to commence a new era of honest leadership and progressive policies.

FULL SUMMARY:
Katika sura ya sita ya "Nguu za Jadi", hali ya wasiwasi inajitokeza zaidi wakati mahasimu wa siasa Lonare anatoweka siku chache kabla ya uchaguzi. Mazingira yake ya ghafla yanaibua taharuki, hofu, na msako mkubwa kwa kila mahali. Vilivyoonekana ni kiatu chake na saa ya mkononi kando ya njia inayoelekea nyumbani kwake, kuongeza tu wasiwasi na hofu. Wafuasi wake wanaponda na kuhisi kama kondoo waliopoteza mchungaji. Katika hali ya kukataliwa, wafuasi wa Lonare, wakiwaongozwa na Sauni na Sagura, wanaapa kwamba watampigia kura bila kujali kama anaonekana au la. Maskini yake inajaa watu wanaomboleza, kama vile kifo kimetembelea ukweli ni kwamba huenda Lonare hayupo tena. Haya yanakuja kwa pigo kubwa kwa Mangwasha, ambaye tayari anakabiliwa na usumbufu baada ya kufutwa kazi. Kongamano la Lonare linakutana kutafakari hatua za kufuata, na kampeni zimefikia kignge. Wamefanya uamuzi kwamba watampigia kura Lonare bila kujali kama anaonekana au la. Pamoja na hulu wafuasi wake wa karibu wanaendelea na juhudi za kumsaka. Siku moja kabla ya uchaguzi, washindani wa Lesulia wanaanza kusherehekea, wakiangazia ukosefu wa upinzani kwa kiongozi wao. Licha ya hili, kwa kweli wafuasi wa Lonare wanakataa kukubali na wanaamua kuwa wangempigia kura Lonare hata kama hayuko. Siku ya uchaguzi imewadia, lakini hakuna habari zozote kumhusu Lonare. Wafuasi wake wanaenda kupiga kura kwa unyonge na wengine wanahisi kukatishwa tamaa. Tukio lisilotarajiwa linatokea wakati Lonare anapatikana karibu na mlango wa nyumba yao, akiwa majeruhi na amedhoofika. Wafuasi wake wamefurahi kumuona akiwa hai na wanaanza sherehe, lakini Lonare anahitaji matibabu ya dharura na analetwa hospitalini. Katika kukuza msisimko, Lonare anamwomba Ngoswe, mwanawe Lesulia na adui wake, afunge "majumba ya ufasiki" unayomiliki na kukataa biashara ya dawa za kulevya, ikiwa anapenda nchi yake. Msisitizo wa Lonare kwenye uhasama wake na buku la Lonare unakamilisha sura. Katika sehemu ya pili ya sura ya sita ya 'Nguu za Jadi', Lonare anafunguka kwa Ngoswe kuhusu njama zake za biashara haramu na jinsi anavyohusika na kumdhuru vijana wengine shuleni. Mbele ya rafiki zake Mashauri na Lombo, Ngoswe anakiri makosa yake na kuahidi kubadilika. Habari za kupatikana kwa Lonare zinasambaa na wafuasi wake wanajitokeza kupiga kura. Kura zikiwa zimehesabiwa na kushangazwa, Ngoswe na wengine wanamuacha Lonare apumzike. Baada ya hapo, Sagilu na Lesulia wanakabiliana na ukweli wa kushindwa kwao kwenye uchaguzi, na wanaweza tu kutazama kwa upande wa pembeni wakati Lonare na wafuasi wake wanasherehekea ushindi. Katika hotuba yake baada ya ushindi, Lonare anahimiza umuhimu wa kupambana na rushwa na ukuaji wa uchumi wa nchi. Alisema kwamba serikali yake itapambana na mfumko wa bei na itaendeleza sekta muhimu za bidhaa za nchi. Katika sehemu ya tatu ya sura ya sita ya 'Nguu za Jadi', Lonare anazungumza na umma, akiahidi kuchukua hatua thabiti dhidi ya waporaji wa mali ya umma na kuvunja ukiritimba wa kiuchumi ulioendelezwa na wahalifu wachache. Anasisitiza juhudi za kutokomeza ukosefu wa ajira miongoni mwa vijana na kuimarisha ujasiriamali miongoni mwao. Kwa mtazamo wa kijinsia, anasisitiza umuhimu wa usawa na kualika wanajamii kuona kila mmoja kama kiongozi. Anahimiza wananchi kuweka kauli za kisiasa kwenye mizani ili kujua uhalisi wa mambo na kutazama kwenye roho zao wenyewe. Anasisitiza kukataa imani za kikabila na kusumbua taifa, na kuwahimiza wananchi kujionea kama taifa moja linalotaka kujiendeleza. Lonare anahitimisha hotuba yake na kauli inayoimarisha umuhimu wa kuyakataa maovu na kukubali uongozi mzuri hupimwa na matokeo, si sifa. Hotuba yake inakubaliwa na vifijo na makofi na inasisitiza wengi kufikiria tena ukumbatio wao wa ukabila na ufisadi. Hotuba ya Lonare imepokea sifa hadi katika nchi jirani na imehamasisha wengi. Hakika, Mangwasha pia anafurahia hotuba, akiamini kwamba Mungu hatimaye amejibu maombi yake.
