Fazal Mollo Kassam Bharmal was married to his 2nd cousin Roshan Shivji Jivraj Bharmal.
He and his cousin Hassanali Walji Kassam Bharmal were in the first batch of six students out of fourteen students at Aga Khan Boys School in Dar es Salaam to pass the Senior Cambridge exams. A milestone in the history of Ismaili education system of Tanganyika. After his completion of schooling and following witnessing of Diamond Jubilee Celebration of Sir Sultan Mohamed Shah in Dar es Salaam in 1946, he was sent to Mbeya, by his father, to work with my father Fazal Manji Lalji Bharmal.
When I contacted him recently he informed me that he remembers my birth on 11, July 1947 and he with my sister Kulsum took care of me when I was an infant. In early 1948 on January 30, 1948.when the Indian community was mourning the death of Mahatma Gandhi and shops in Mbeya were closed, he left Mbeya and moved back to Mbulu, his birth place.
He started his own business in partnership with his cousin. After his marriage to Roshan he moved to Singida and started his auto spares business.
He left Tanzania and came to Toronto and after two years there, he moved and settled in Calgary. He still lives there and is of 94 years in age. His only daughter Shamila also lives in Calgary
