A fisherman identified as Majiliwa Jackson has been recognised as a national hero in Tanzania after he helped rescue plane crash victims. The fisherman's efforts led to the rescue of 21 passengers after the plane plunged into Lake Victoria on Sunday, November 6.


Majiliwa was among the first responders to arrive the scene of the air mishap which happened at Lake Victoria. He has been awarded the sum of N188,000 for his bravery.

Speaking to the BBC, Majiliwa said he and other fishermen arrived at the scene and helped smash the rear door of the plane.

He spoke of his communication with the pilot who told him what to do. His words: "He directed me to break the window screen. I emerged from the water and asked airport security, who had arrived, if they have any tools that we can use to smash the screen. "They gave me an axe, but I was stopped by a man with a public announcement speaker from going down and smashing the screen. He said they were already in communication with the pilots and there was no water leakage in the cockpit.

After he was stopped from proceeding, he said dived back and waved goodbye to the pilot. The pilot however insisted that he needs to be rescued from the crashed plane. Majiliwa continued his story

"He pointed out the cockpit emergency door to me. I swam back up and took a rope and tied it to the door and we tried to pull it with other boats, but the rope broke and hit me in the face and knocked me unconscious. The next thing I know I was here at the hospital

Such is life, if God say yes who can say no ?
God has different ways of blessing people.

Nigeria government should be learning such gesture but they wouldn't cause of their nefarious heart.
