Prof. Joseph Mbele

Mbali na kuwa na utajiri wa asili wa aina yake,Tanzania ni nchi ambayo inajivunia kuwa na wasomi maarufu ambao wametapakaa kote ulimwenguni wakifundisha katika mashule na vyuo mbalimbali au kuongoza vitengo nyeti katika idara za kimataifa na zenye uzito wa ki-dunia nzima.

Miongoni mwa wasomi hao ni Prof. Joseph Mbele (pichani), Mtanzania anayefundisha katika Chuo cha St. Olaf kilichopo Northfield jimboni Minnesotta, nchini Marekani.

Miongoni mwa wasomi na wafuatiliaji wa mambo mbalimbali ya kitaaluma jina la Prof. Mbele sio geni hata kidogo. Yeye ni mtunzi wa kitabu maarufu sana kiitwacho ''Africans and Americans:Embracing The Cultural Differences''.

Kitabu hicho ndicho kinachotumika zaidi hivi leo mashuleni na katika taasisi mbalimbali(zikiwemo balozi mbalimbali) wanapokuwa wanawaandaa watu wao kuja kusoma, kutembea tu, kufanya kazi au tafiti mbalimbali barani Afrika.

Tanzanian - If there is an award we should get it! We hold back our water supply almost 100 percent. WE DON'T EVEN SUPPLY WATER!

Huyu ndiye aliyemwangusha Gavana Eliot Spitzer

Nyuso za malaya, Kristen

Wadau, huyu ndiye yule malaya, 'Kristen' wa Emperor's Club. Jina lake hasa ni Ashley Alexandra Dupre (Youmans), ana miaka 22. Ana ukurasa wake binafsi kwenye Myspace.

Wanaomjua Ashley wanashangaa kuwa alikuwa anafanya kazi ya umalaya. Walijua kuwa yeye ni mwanamuziki!

Imefahamika kuwa mteja mwingine, wa Emperors Club ni, The Duke of Westminster, wa Uiingereza (Royal Family)! Kukodi malaya wa Emperors Club inaanzia dola $1,000 hadi $5,500 kwa saa! Bei ya Kristen ilikuwa $4,300 kwa saa. Sijui alikuwa antoa huduma gani!

Haya Gavana Eliot Spitzer alijiuzulu jana. Gavana David Paterson, ataapishwa jumatatu ijayo. Umati wa watu wanajiona kama wamepigwa mangumi na bondia baada ya kugundua kuwa 'Mr. Clean' (Spitzer) ni mnafiki!

Ashley atatajirika sasa maana wataandika vitabu, watatengeneza na sinema kuhusu maisha yake na jinsi alivyomwangusha Gavana wa New York!

Audition yangu leo

Leo nimefanya audition kwa ajili ya sinema mpya, The Surrogates. Stelingi wake ni Bruce Willis. Hadithi yake ni ya Science Fiction.

Role niliofanyia audition ni mama moja mwenye hasira ambaye anamwua character wa Bruce Willis kwa kumpiga risasi kichwani. Ila siye mwenyewe ni kloni yake.

Ilibidi nifanye 'pantomine', yaani kuigiza bila kifaa. Sasa waliniambia nijifanye nimeshika bunduki na naifyatua baada ya kusema line. Hapo ilibidi nikumbuke mazeozi ya SAR (semi-automatic rifle) ya enzi za JKT.

Ilikuwa audition safi sana kwa vile niliambiwa kuchangaya action na maneno. Haya sisi actors tunaambiwa ukifanya audition tegemea hapo ndo mwisho, ukiitwa tena ni bahati wakikuchagua ni kama kushinda bahati nasibu! Haya tuone mambo yatakavyokuwa.

Ila nilifurahi sana kuona waigizaji wengi weusi waliitwa kufanya audition.

Tuzo za vinara wa Filamu Tanzania 2008

FOMU ZA KUSHIRIKI TUZO ZA VINARA WA FILAMU TANZANIA KUTOLEWA WIKI HII

Baada ya kufana kwa uzinduzi wa Tuzo za Vinara wa filamu Tanzania,watayarishaji wanaalikwa kujaza fomu za ushiriki ili kuweza kuwasilisha kazi zao katika Tuzo za 2008. Fomu hizi zitapatikana katika ofisi za BASATA (Muulizie Omar Mayanga), Wananchi Wote, Kapico, GMC na Game First Quality.

Baada ya kujaza fomu, watengezaji wa filamu wanatakiwa kurudisha fomu na nakala ya kazi kwenye ofisi za BASATA kwa Omar Mayanga.Utoaji tuzo za Vinara wa Filamu Tanzania, unalenga katika kuifanya sanaa ya Tanzania kupata nguvu mpya na kuwafanya watengenezaji na wadau sanaa kufanya bidii katika ushindani wa soko la sanaa na hivyo kutengeneza kazi zilizo bora zaidi zinazoweza kuuzika kimataifa ili kuiweka nchi yetu kwenye ramani ya dunia.

Tuzo za Vinara wa Filamu Tanzania pia zinalenga kuwafanya wananchi kuendelea kuwa na mwamko wa kupenda kazi zinazotengenezwa na Watanzania wenzao ili kupata mafunzo mbalimbali yatokanayo na kazi za wasanii na pia kukuza soko kwa faida ya pande zote mbili.

Katika fomu hizo, kutaainishwa mambo muhimu ambayo mtengenezaji wa filamu atapaswa kujaza. Kama vile; Jina kamili la kampuni iliyotengeneza filamu au video na anwani kamili, Jina la Mtayarishaji Mkuu wa filamu (Executive Producer), Jina la Mtayarishaji wa filamu. (Producer), Jina la Mtunzi wa hadithi (Story Writer), Jina la Mwandishi wa skripti (Scriptwriter), Jina la Muongozaji (Director), Jina la Mhariri (Editor), Majina kamili ya wasanii wote waliyoigizia katika filamu husika (Characters), Jina la Muongozaji wa Taa (Lightsman), Jina la Mrekebishaji Sauti (Soundman), Jina la Mpiga Picha (Cameraman), Jina la Meneja wa Mandhari (Location Manager), Jina la Mpangiliaji wa Picha (Cinematographer), Jina la Mtunzi wa Muziki (Music Composer), Jina la Studio iliyofanya/zilizofanya kazi kwa filamu husika.

Fomu itakuwa na maswali mengine kama vile; filamu imetengenezwa lini, mahali ilikotengenezwa, maudhui ya filamu na lugha iliyotumika. Baada ya fomu hizo kujazwa kwa usahihi, zitatumwa kwenye ofisi za waandaji, kwa mkono au njia ya posta kwa anuani kamili ya waandaji. Watengenezaji wa filamu husika watapaswa kuambatanisha na mkanda wa filamu (VHS/DVD/VCD).

Kutakuwa na jopo la majaji wanane (8) watakaochaguliwa na waandaji kwa kushirikiana na Baraza la sanaa la Taifa nchini watakaokuwa na jukumu la kupitia filamu zote na kuzitolea uamuzi. Majina na wasifu za majaji zitawekwa bayana hivi karibuni. Pia vigezo zitakazotumika zitawekwa wazi.

Filamu zitakazoingizwa kuwania tuzo ni zile zilizotengenezwa na Watanzania kuanzia Januari 2007 hadi mwisho wa siku ya kualikwa watengenezaji kuingiza filamu zao ambayo itakuwa 31 Machi 2008.

Kushiriki kwa watengezaji wa filamu itasaidia kupata Filamu Bora ya Mwaka, Muigizaji Bora wa Mwaka wa Kiume, Muigizaji Bora wa Mwaka wa Kike, Muigizaji Bora Chipukizi wa Mwaka wa Kiume, Muigizaji Bora Chipukizi wa Mwaka wa Kike, Mwongozaji Sinema Bora wa Mwaka, Mchekeshaji Bora wa Mwaka, Mwandishi Bora wa Filamu, Mtunzi Bora wa Filamu, Filamu Bora ya kutisha, Muigizaji Mwandamizii Bora wa kike (supporting actor), Muigizaji Bora Mwandamizi wa Kike; Adui Bora kwenye Filamu,Mhariri Bora wa Filamu na mapambo na maleba ya mwaka.Pia itatolewa tuzo ya heshima kwa wale waliotoa machango wao kukuza sanaa nchini.

Gavana Mpya wa New York atakuwa Mweusi!

Si muda mfupi tutasikia jambo la kihistoria. Gavana alieyaibika kwa kutembea na malaya, Eliot Spitzer, anatarajiwa kujiuzulu leo. Makamu wake Lieutenant Governor, David Paterson, 53, ataapishwa mara moja.

Paterson atakuwa ni mweusi wa kwanza kuwa Gavana wa New York, na Gavana wa nne mweusi katika historia ya Marekani. Pia atakuwa ni Gavana wa kwanza asiyeona (kipofu) katika historia ya Marekani! Mungu ambariki Bwana Paterson!

Sasa kuhusu huyo Spitzer aka. Client No. 9, aka. Eliot Ness, aka Mr. Clean, anazidi kuaibika. Wanachunguza alipata wapi dola $80,000 za kulipa malaya wake. Pia kashitakiwa chini ya Mann Act ya 1910, inayosema kuwa ni marufuku kumsafirisha mtu kati ya majimbo kwa ajili ya ngono. LOL! Pia imefahamika kuwa alivyokuwa anatembea na malaya alikuwa hatumii kondomu! DOH! Mke wake lazima atakuwa amechukia kweli hapo!

2008-03-11

Na Mwandishi Wetu, Jijini

Ubalozi wa Marekani nchini umetangaza hatua kadhaa zilizochukuliwa kwa lengo la kurahisisha upatikanaji wa viza za kuingia nchini humo na kupunguza kero iliyokuwa ikiwakabili watu wanaotaka kibali cha kuingia Marekani.

Mkuu wa Idara ya Uhamiaji kwenye Ubalozi wa Marekani, Bw. Robert Hannan amesema hatua hizo ni pamoja na kuwekwa kwa muda mfupi wa kungoja usaili ambapo alisema katika kipindi cha miezi 18 iliyopita, wasafiri watarajiwa wamekuwa wakipangiwa muda wa kusailiwa ndani ya siku mbili.

Kadhalaika alisema kupanga muda wa kusailiwa kupitia mtandao kumesaidia ambapo waombaji wa viza wamekuwa wakipanga muda wa kusailiwa moja kwa moja kupitia mtandao. Alisema kabla ya hapo, waombaji walilazimika kuchukua muda wa kusailiwa uliokuwa unafuata, bila kujali usumbufu waliokuwa wanaupata. `

`Hivi sasa, waombaji wanaweza kuchagua tarehe na saa inayowafaa. Taarifa zaidi zinapatikana kwenye tovuti ya Ubalozi wa Marekani: www.tanzania.usembassy.gov`` akasema.

Kuhusu viza za muda mrefu, Bw. Hannan alisema Serikali ya Tanzania, chini ya maagizo ya Mkurugenzi wa Uhamiaji, Bwana Kinemo Kihomano, imefikia makubaliano na Marekani kwa nchi zote mbili kuongeza muda wa viza kutumika, kutoka miezi 3 mpaka mwaka mmoja.

``Kwa hivi sasa, watu wanaofanya safari nyingi watahitaji kuomba viza mara chache zaidi,`` akasema. Kuhusu changamoto wanazokabiliana nazo, Bw. Hannan alisema maombi ya ``dharura`` ya kufanyiwa usaili kwa safari za haraka limekuwa tatizo kubwa kwao.

``Kwa kawaida, hakuna sababu nzuri kwa maombi kama hayo,`` alisema Hannan. ``Kama wasafiri watarajiwa wanajua kuwa wanaenda kuhudhuria mahafali mwezi wa Juni, au kushiriki mkutano mwezi wa Septemba, wanaweza kuomba viza sasa hivi.

Kupitia utaratibu wa viza ya muda mrefu ulioanza kutumika mwezi wa Novemba mwaka jana, waombaji sasa wanaweza kupata viza watakayoitumia kwa kipindi cha mwaka mzima.

`` Hannan aliongezea kuwa, viza zote za Marekani kwa shughuli za utalii, biashara, na masomo, ni viza za kutumiwa zaidi ya mara moja - zinaruhusu mtu kufanya safari nyingi katika kipindi hicho cha mwaka mmoja.

Shukurani ya Dada Subi:

Wiki iliyopita niliandika kukerwa juu ya maneno fulani ambayo yanasomeka hapo chini. Watu kadhaa waliuelewa na kuujibu kwa kuafiki ama kupinga. Kwa kuwa lengo langu ilikuwa ni kukemea maneno fulani tu katika ujumbe mzima, ninayo furaha kuwa aliyeandika maneno hayo ameamua "kuyaondoa katika" blogu yake ya "Louder than Swahili".

Ingawaje hii haifafuta fikira na dhamira zilizojikita kwenye mawazo binafsi ya mtu, lakini kwa upande fulani imesaidia kuondoa ile hali ya kuyazungumza "mambo ya chumbani sebuleni" au "mambo ya ndani ya milango upenuni" ama "kuweka hadharani yaliyozoeleka kuzungumzwa ukiwa na baadhi ya watu fualni tu".Simfahamu mtu aliyeanzisha kampeni za Facebook, ila ninamsihi asifanye vitisho ama ugomvi. Lengo langu kama nilivyojieleza kwenye barua pepe ya awali, ilikuwa ni kukemea maneno fulani tu, hiyo ndiyo hoja, na si kumkashifu mtu kwa utu/ubinadamu wake.

Aliyeanzisha kampeni za Facebook amepita mpaka na ukomo wa fikira nilizokuwa nazo juu ya neno 'kukemea'.Ninatanguliza heshima kwa kila mmoja wetu na ninaomba samahani sana kwa yeyote niliyemkera ama aliyekwazika kwa ujumbe huo. Ni mimi mshamba wakuja,bi Mdadisi binti Nsipitwe,Subi'

Sentensi iliyoniudhi ni hii: "a female traffic officer in a tight blue skirt and with legs as thick as small tree trunks" . Walaumu anavyofanya kazi yake na si kumwingilia mtu maungoni! Mambo kama haya hayasemwi hadharani hivi, labda uwe na ugomvi binafsi na si kumnyumbulisha mtu kwa mfano wa kitu.This is what the traffic looked like this morning at 7. Incoming and out-going, switching between fast and slow lanes, evidently obeying new rules every day.

Sometimes you drive according to the traffic light: On occasion it doesn't work (but you still drive as if it sort of did): Most mornings a female traffic officer in a tight blue skirt and with legs as thick as small tree trunks is orchestrating the traffic.
Many mornings it feels sort of like a mental preparation of my mind for attacking the heaps of work in my office.

March 10, 2008

I have decided to put my blog on stand-by for a while

The reason is that over the weekend I have been receiving comments, e-mails, text messages and a phone call telling me various things, which I am far from comfortable with. Someone even made a Facebook group with the aim of boycotting my blog.

Basic message is that I am not giving the right impression of Tanzania. That the image I display of Tanzania to the world is damaging Tanzania's image. To me there simply is no right impression, but apparently there is, and I am not meeting these standards. I am highly aware that Africa is not just Africa, that Tanzania differs from other African countries and vice versa. I also know that the image of Tanzania in for instance European media often does not correspond with the one of the Tanzanians. But again 35 million Tanzanians do not make one idea, but many. I am an ex-pat, I blog from my perspective.

I find different viewpoints expressed on different blogs inspiring, which is why I read different blogs. I have only ever intended to reflect my impressions, which I have emphasised over and over. I have also emphasised that my views are mine and do not necessarily correspond with the NGO I work for.

I don't believe that this kind of group pressure should shut someone up, but I also feel I have no choice. However, in the mean time - until I figure out if/when I will return to blogging with a public identity - I will be happy to provide you with more detailed information if curious. I will also be interested in - and happy - to hear from other bloggers who have experienced the similar. I am still interested in dialogue, but I will not tolerate that people dictate me what to write on my blog, or comments where people i.e. name themselves 'Killer' or call me 'dog'.

*************************************************************

My Comments:

I came across this issue after it had already been posted on several blogs. The problem is that Pernille insulted African beauty. The legs that she called, 'small tree trunks' are considered beautiful to Tanzanians. Also in Tanzania having large buttocks and big breasts is something to be admired. The 'Twiggy' standard that Europeans worship is considered very ugly. I hope this brief explanation will help Pernille understand why some people are/were angry with her. - Chemi

Gavana wa New York achunguzwa baada ya kukutana na Malaya!

Gavana Spitzer na Mke wake leo baada ya kukutana na waandishi wa habari

DOH! Leo tumesikia mchapo wa aibu wa Gavana Eliot Spitzer, wa New York kukutana na malaya akiwa kwenye safari Washington D.C. . Kwa kweli hapa Marekani ni jambo la aibu kwa kiongozi kufanya upuuzi kama huu.

Na kama kawaida ailiitisha Press Conference na kuongea na waandishi wa habari. Lakini nauliza hivi, kwa nini hao viongozi wakifanya maovu ,wake zao wanatoka pamoja nao na wanapigwa mapicha. Kweli hutakuwa na hasira na aibu kusikia jambo la aibu kama hili?

Aliomba msamaha kwa watu wa New York na familia yake. Lakini hajajiuzulu. Leo ndo kwanza tumesikia hizi habari chafu za Gavana Spitzer ambaye nickname yake ni 'Mr. Clean' (asiye na kasoro). Nadhani siku zinavyoenda tutasikia habari zaidi za aibu na itabidi aachie ngazi.

FBI wanasema kuwa wametepu! Kwenye tepu zao wanamwita 'Client No. 9' Pia wanasema huyo malaya sijui kalipwa dola $5,000 kwa saa! Sijui kazilia yeye au walipe kodi wa New York!

MAKUBWA!

-- A vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones -- have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.

Officials in Philadelphia say testing there discovered 56 pharmaceuticals or byproducts in treated drinking water.

To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.
But the presence of so many prescription drugs -- and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen -- in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.

In the course of a five-month inquiry, the AP discovered that drugs have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan areas -- from Southern California to Northern New Jersey, from Detroit, Michigan, to Louisville, Kentucky.

Leo ni Siku ya Kimataifa ya Wanawake!

Leo ni Siku ya Kimataifa ya Wanawake!

Siku ya Kimataifa ya Wanawake wa kwanza ilisherekewa siku ya March 8, 1911 huko Copenhagen, Denmark. Aliyeanzisha ni Clara Zetkin, kiongozi wa wanawake katika 'Women's Office' ya chama cha Ujamaa na Demokrasia huko Ujerumani.

Umoja wa Mataifa waliteua mwaka 1975 kuwa mwaka wa mwanamke. Baada ya hapo walikubali ku-sponsor sherehe nyingi za siku ya March 8th.

Haki za akina mama zimesaidiwa kutokana na siku hiyo. Kuna sehemu nyini wanawake walikuwa hawaruhusiwi kupiga kura (hata hapa Marekani), kusoma elimu ya juu, kufanya kazi za aina fulani na mambo mengi. Hata wanawake waliokuwa kwenye nafasi za uongozi walikuwa wachache duniani. Tumetoka mbali.

at kamukunji at today's university of nairobi campus
to challenged other kenyan men
one nairobi's chilly morning
of march 16, 1922 should be regarded
as memorable day
when wananchi (akina baba na akina mama)
peacefully demonstrated at kamukunji
for their inalienable rights
theirs was one goal;
to release one of their leaders
from police detention!
akina baba na akina mama
wananchi angrily demonstrated
to release their political leader,
harry thuku,
from the police detention
against professional organizational skills,
akina baba na akina mama
gathered and sent delegates
to speak to wazungu
in charge of the police station;
wazungu police officers
told assembled crowd
of akina baba na akina mama
their harry thuku was not there!
wazungu police officers’ reply
did not please one mama
mwanamke wa shoka wa kikikuyu
omugasi nyangubho we chikikuyu

who challenged assembled akina baba.

wondered as mwanamke wa shoka continued:
you men are cowards.
what are you waiting for,
our leader is in there;
let us get him!
other assembled akina mama
in unison responded thrilling
in kikuyu ngemi - vigelegele - ululation
before their frightened akina baba;
ngemi ignited mary muthoni nyanjiru’s blood
and that of all akina mama:
they charged like jimbhwiga (killer bees)
towards corrugated iron fence
of police station
to release the man of hour,
harry thuku!
men joined in;
women approached
police station a yard away;
police readied their bayonets
to meet defenseless akina mama
with live weapons of instant destruction
from firepower.
on orders police knelt down,
on one knee, in firing position
as crowd of dauntless akina mama
kept on surging forward
towards police lethal weapons
at Kamukunji police station;
those defiant akina mama
kept on surging forward to bayonets
at their amabhondo throats distance:

mwanamke wa shoka wa kikikuyu
omugasi nyangubho we chikikuyu,
very no-nonsense intrepid kikuyu woman
mary muthoni nyanjiru

mwanamke wa shoka wa kikikuyu
omugasi nyangubho we chikikuyu,
very no-nonsense intrepid kikuyu woman
mary muthoni nyanjiru,
did she demand the impossible?
what challenge!
akina baba coiled and hid away
their manhood on that chilly morning,
like frightened dogs!
this was 1920 kenya;
did akina mama know underwear?
how many men wore underwear?
perhaps,
akina mama wore luo’s otamang'eo!
that custom-made small pair of shorts
with a sewn-on wrap around
impossible to tell its front or back!
so mary muthoni nyanjiru
exposed her nakedness
before assembled men!
this was 1920 kenya;
there were no video cameras
to capture that rare moment
when mary muthoni nyanjiru
stood naked before her men
cultural expression of total disgust
to challenge and debase men machismo!
assembled akina baba
feared police brutality;
they feared to be detained
and possibly to under-go torture
by their fellow police
under wazungu officers’ commands!

became the star of the show.
she stood up naked to face police brutality
to her death!
she came to the earth naked;
so she gave her life to return to earth naked!

Wivu waleta msiba mzito

2008-03-06

Na Moshi Lusonzo

Wivu wa kimapenzi baina ya wawili wapendanao umeleta msiba mzito Jijini ambapo mtu mmoja ameuawa kinyama kwa kucharangwa mapanga huku mwingine akiwa taaban katika wodi mojawapo ya Taasisi ya Mifupa Muhimbili, MOI.

Aliyeuawa kwa kucharangwa mapanga na kupigwa mawe na wananchi wenye hasira, ni mmoja kati ya wapambe wa mume huku mpambe mwingine akilazwa kutokana na majeraha mazito aliyoyapata mwili mzima.

Wakizungumzia tukio hilo lililojiri hivi karibuni katika maeneo ya Tabata Kimanga na kisha polisi kulitolea taarifa, mmoja wa mashuhuda amesema vipigo vilivyotolewa na wananchi wenye hasira vilikuwa vya kutisha kwelikweli. Akisimulia zaidi, mmoja kati ya mashuhuda hao amesema aliyefariki amefahamika kwa jina moja la Amiru huku mwingine aliyejeruhiwa na kulazwa Muhimbili akitambulika kwa jina la Kankuru Severine, 25.

Wanasema mashuhuda kuwa tukio hilo, limewakumba wahusika wakati walipokwenda na rafiki yao aitwaye Makongoro, kufanya fumanizi lililomhusisha mke wa rafiki yao huyo (Makongoro) waliyemtuhumu kuwa anachukuliwa kimapenzi na mwanaume mwingine Julius Jonas huko Tabata.

Wakasema, safari za marafiki hao wenye miili ya kibaunsa ilianzia eneo la Kariakoo. Hata hivyo, imedaiwa kuwa mara walipofika katika nyumba waliyohisi kuwa mwanamke huyo amewekwa kimada, walishuka na kwenda kugonga mlango ili kuendesha zoezi hilo.

Inaelezwa kuwa wakati walipokuwa wakigonga, ghafla alitokea mwanaume anayedaiwa kupora mwanamke huyo na hapo ndipo yalipotokea mabishano makali kabla wapambe hao mabaunsa hawajaanza kutembeza kipigo.

``Kulikuwa na mabishano kati ya pande mbili, yule bwana alikataa kuwaingiza ndani huku watu hao walimlazimisha waingine ndani ili kumchomoa yule mwanamke,`` akasema mmoja wa mashuhuda hao ambaye hakutaka kutaja jina lake.

Baada ya kuona hali imekuwa ngumu mwanaume huyo anadaiwa kuwaitilia wezi jamaa na ndipo wananchi kibao walipojitokeza huku wakiwa na mapanga, mawe na silaha nyingine kadhaa. Inaelezwa kuwa baada ya hapo, wananchi hawakutaka kuuliza na kwa hasira wakaanza kuwachangamkia wapambe hao kwa kipigo kabla ya kumuua mmoja na kumjeruhi vibaya mwingine aitwaye Severine.

``Kama isingelikuwa polisi kuwahi kwenye eneo hilo, nadhani hivi sasa tungeongea mengine kwa huyu Severin, kama ilivyokuwa kwa mwenzie,`` akasema shuhuda huyo.

Afisa Uhusiano wa MOI, Bw. Almas Jumaa amesema Severine alifikishwa hapo akiwa hoi, huku sehemu kubwa ya maungo yake yakiwa yameathirika kwa kupigwa mapanga na silaha nyinginezo.

``Hivi sasa ana nafuu kulinganisha na hali aliyokuwa nayo wakati akifikishwa... madaktari wanaendelea kumpa huduma,``akasema Bw. Jumaa.

Aidha, Kamanda wa Mkoa wa Kipolisi Ilala, Faustine Shilogile, amelielezea tukio hilo kuwa limetokana na fumanizi. Amesema watu hao wanaodaiwa kuwa ni mabaunsa, walimvamia mtu huyo kwa madai kuwa alikuwa akiishi na mke wa mmoja wa rafiki yao. Amesema tukio hilo limetokea siku ya Jumatatu mishale ya saa 4:00 asubuhi.

Hatahivyo, hakukuwa na taarifa rasmi juu ya mahala alipo mume wa huyo mwanamke anayetajwa kwa jina la Makongoro wala mke mwenyewe.

Senator Hillary Clinton Afufuliwa! - Uchaguzi 2008

Majuzi watu walikuwa wansema kuwa ni bora Senator Hillary Clinton, ajitoe katika mashindano ya kugombania urais wa Marekani. Hiyo ni baada ya Senator Barack Obama, kushinda katika states 12 mfululizo.

Jana Senator Clinton alishinda states za Ohio na Texas ambazo zina wajumbe wengi watakao piga kura katika mkutano mkuu wa Democrats mwezi Agosti. Hao ndo wanampitisha mgombea. Pamoja na ushindi wake Obama bado ana kura nyingi.

Kwa kweli sijafurahi hizi wiki mbili zilizopita kuona jinsi Mama Clinton alivyochafua jina la Obama. Mara aseme hawezi kuwa na uhakika kuwa si mwislamu. Na alifanya hivyo maksudi kwa vile alijua waMarekani ni waoga na waislamu baada ya mashambulizi ya 9/11. Halafu walifufua ile picha aliyopiga Kenya amevaa nguo za kiSomali mwaka 2006. Na kuna maovu mengine ambayo kampeni yake ilifanya.

Naomba mjue kuwa ubaguzi bado upo hapa Marekani. Hasa katika hizi states za Kaskazini. Sijui kama mlisikia yaliyotokea jana huko Ohio kwenye maeneo ya weusi. Weusi walijitokeza kwa wingi kupiga kura lakini walishindwa. Mfano, sehemu moja walikuwa na kura 50 na watu 300 walijitokeza. Hivyo watu wengi walishindwa kupiga kura. Ilibidi watu wa Obama wamwombe jaji aamuru shemu za kupiga kura zikae wazi kwa saa moja zaidi ili watu wapate nafasi ya kupiga kura. Matatizo kama hayo yalitokea hapa Massachusetts kwenye maeno ya weusi wakati Gavana wetu, Deval Patrick, alivyogombania.

Pia huko Ohio kulikuwa na matatizo kibao, hitilafu za mashine, matishio ya mabomu na mengine.
Halafu washenzi kama Rush Limbaugh, waliomba marepublicans wampigie Senator Clinton kusudi Obama asishinde. Alisema Clinton akishinda basi atazidi kumpaka matope Obama. Siasa bwana!

Leo, Hillary anadokeza kuwa kama atachuguliwa kuwa mgombea wa Democrats atamchagua Obama kuwa running mate, yaani makamu wake. Sijui kama mimi ningekuwa Obama ningekubali maana huyo Mama Clinton ameonyesha ana ukatili ndani yake. Yuko tayari kufanya chochote ili ashinde.

Pia Bush akiondoka January 2009, ataacha nchi na hali mbaya sana ya kiuchumi na kila kitu. Ambaye atashinda atakuwa na kazi kubwa mbele yake. Mungu ambariki atakayeshinda.

Mji wa Dar es Salaam kukosa Maji siku Tano!

Wadau huko Dar, naomba mtueleze hali ilivyo kule. Poleni sana!

TANGAZO.
Dar kukosa maji siku tano

3-3-08

Kutoka Food for Thought Blog

JIJI la Dar es Salaam, litakumbwa na uhaba wa maji kwa muda wa siku tano kuanzia leo.Taarifa ya kukosekana huko kwa maji imetolewa jana kwa vyombo vya habari na Shirika la Majisafi na Majitaka Dar es Salaam na Pwani (DAWASCO) kwa niaba ya Shirika la Majisafi na Majitaka (DAWASA).

Hata hivyo, ukosekanaji wa maji hayo ambao unatokana na kufanyiwa ukarabati mkubwa wa mtambo wa Ruvu Juu utayakumba baadhi ya maeneo ya jiji.Kwa mujibu wa Dawasco, ukarabati huo mkubwa wa mtambo umearifiwa kufanywa na Shirika la Majisafi na Majitaka (Dawasa).
“Dawasa inawataarifu wakazi wa jiji kwamba mtambo wa kuzalisha maji wa Ruvu Juu utafanyiwa ukarabati mkubwa kwa siku tano mfululizo kuanzia Jumatatu Machi 3 hadi Ijumaa Machi 7, 2008 hivyo kusababisha kutopatikana kabisa kwa maji baadhi ya maeneo ya jiji,’ ilieleza sehemu ya taarifa hiyo.

Taarifa hiyo ilieleza kuwa maeneo yaliyotajwa kukumbwa na ukosefu huo wa maji ni ambayo yanapata maji kutoka Ruvu juu.

Mnakumbuka?

Nani anakumbuka enzi za Mwalimu mtu akitaka kusafiri nje ya nchi?

1) Uombe STATE HOUSE CLEARANCE (bahati yako ukipata)

2) Upate kibali cha INCOME TAX

3) Uwe na kibali cha kununua fedha za kigeni. Mara nyingi unaruhusiwa dola $70 tu! Yaani wabongo walikuwa wanasafiri kimaskini kweli! Na mtu anayekupangia utapata ngapi, una bahati ukiambulia dola $40!

4) Ukitaka kununua tiketi ya ndege mpaka upate ruhusa. Kama unaletewa kutoka nje ni sawa.

5) Na ukirudi hizo harassment airport! Wakati huo vitu adimu hivyo sharti/kiatu mpya mali, sabuni/dawa ya mswaki mali.

Ni kweli vijana walikuwa hawatoki nje ya nchi kirahisi. Wakati huo kuzamia meli ndo fesheni.

Bongo kuna stories si mchezo. Kweli ilikuwa ukitoka njea ya nchi lazima watu wakuonee wivu.

Sinema - The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Mfano wa 'Dolly'

Jana nilikuwa 'extra' katika sinema, 'The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past'. Mtaa wa Downtown Crossing, Boston uligueuzwa mtaa wa Manhattan, New York. Tulishuti, mtaa wa Temple Place. Kwa wanaojua Boston, Temple Place ni mtaa ule ambao mabasi ya Silver Line kwenda Roxbury yaana anzia. Ukipinda kona unaona jengo la Macy's. Walikodi polisi wa kuzuia trafiki kila wakipiga take.

Role yangu - nilikuwa naenda kuhudhuria mkutano fulani. Tulipewa cues na namba za kuanza action. Sasa kwenye rehearsals, nilikuwa sifiki kwenye mlango wa ofisi kabla kamera imefika mlangoni. Kamera ilkuwa kwenye dolly (ni kama reli). Halafu ubaya nilikuwa nimevaa viatu vyenye visigino virefu (high heels) halafu tulionywa tusianguke kwenye hiyo doli! Loh! Hazards of the Trade!

Kwenye hiyo scene, nilikuwa mweusi peke yangu, sasa second director alitaka kunitoa kwenye scene, director kamwambia kuna ananitaka kwenye hiyo scene. Basi walichofanya ni kumtoa mwanaume wa kizungu ambaye alikuwa ananitangulia. Basi hapo niliweza kuwahi kufika kwenye mlango kabla ya kamera. Tulipiga teki kama kumi na tano. Nangojea kuona kama nitaonekana hata kama ni kwa sekunde moja.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past inahusu jamaa anayeenda kwenye aruis ya kaka yake, halafu akiwa huko anatembelewa na mizimu ya wasichana ambao amewahi kutembea nao. Navyoona ni kama ile hadithi ya 'A Christmas Carol', inayomhusu yule mchoyo Mzee Scrooge.

Stelingi wake ni Matther McCounaughey, Jennifer Garner na Michael Douglas. Hatukuwaona jana.

American Idol in WANAFIKI!

Antonella Barba (kushoto) Frenchie Davis (Kulia)
David Hernandez

UPDATE 3-5-07 Producers wa American Idol wameruhusu David Hernandez kubaki! Kweli ni wanafiki. Frenchie alionyesha matiti yake, huyo njemba alikuwa uchi wa nyama! Unafiki kabisa! BOFYA HAPA kusoma UPDATE

****************************************************************************

Leo nimechukia sana kusikia kuwa mmoja wa contestants wa American Idol mwaka huu, David Hernandez, aliwahi kuwa stripper! Tena alikuwa anavua ana nguo kabisa na kubakia uchi wa nyama na kucheza ma lap dance! Ustripper huo alikuwa anafanya kwenye bar ya mashoga/wasenge. Hao aliokuwa anawachezea lap dance ni wanaume. Alifanya hiyo kazi kwa muda wa miaka mitatu.

Ukweli nisingejali kusikia habari kama hizi. Maana kwa hapa Marekani kuna watu wengi wanaofanya kazi ya stripper na kucheza hizo lap dance. Tena huyo David anaimba vizuri kweli.

Kinachoniudhi tena sana ni hivi. Kuna dada fulani, mmarekani mweusi, Frenchie Davis, amabaye aliwahi kufukuzwa na producers wa American Idol mwaka 2003. Kisa cha kufukuzwa kwake, alipiga picha akiwa nusu uchi matiti yanaonekana. Frenchie aliwaambia producers mapema kuhusu historia yake na alisema kuwa alikubali kupiga picha hizo kwa vile alihitaji pesa za kulipia ada zake Chuo Kikuu.

Producers hawakumwonyesha huruma hata kidogo Frenchie, alifukuzwa kama mnyama. Je, ni sawa? Kuna watu ambao wanasema kuwa ni wazi kuwa American Idol wana 'double standard'. Pia kuna watu ambao wanataka Hernandez atolewe kwenye mashindano mara moja maana si mfano mzuri kwa vijana na si mtu anayestahili kuitwa 'American Idol'

Mwaka jana kuna binti wa kizungu, Antonella Barba ambaye naye alikuwa na picha kwenye interenet lakini hwakumfukuza.

American Idol wamwombe msamaha Frenchie au wamrudishe apate chensi kama walivyopata hao wazungu waliofanya maovu zaidi yake. Mnasemaje?

Kingwendu - Mapepe

Hii kideo kinachekesho lakini naona kama maneno ya huo wimbo yanadhalalisha wanawake. Hivi wanaume si mapepe. Ningependa kuona inaimbwa "HUYO DUME MAPEPE!"

Hali ya Maisha inazidi kuwa mbaya Marekani!

Great Depresssion Soup Kitchen 1933

Asante Rais Bush, hali ya maisha kwa Mmarekani wa kawaida unazidi kuwa mbaya. Bei ya kila kitu kimepanda mishahara iko pale pale.

Ukienda dukani bei ya kila kitu kimepanda, mkate, mayai, maziwa, nyama, sukari. Jana nilimsikia mtu mwenye restaurant akisema kuwa zamani watu walikuwa wananunua sana large pizza. Alitoa mfano ya familia ya watu wanne. Zamani waalikuwa wananuna kubwa lakini siku hizi hawana hela wananunua medium na inabidi iwatoshe wale wale..

Bei ya kumwona daktari umepanda. Bei ya petroli imepanda na wanatabiri utafika hadi dola $4 kwa galoni kabla ya mwezi wa saba. Watu wanapoteza majumba yao kwa vile wanashindwa kulipa mortgage. Watu wanashindwa kulipa na biliz ao zingine.

Pantries zinazotoa chakula kwa maskini zinasema kuwa hata wasio maskini wanaenda kupata misaada.

Unajua hali umekuwa mbaya ukiona wazungu wanalamika. Maana kwa kawaida wao wanakuwa na hali nzuri. Wanapata kazi nzuri na mishahara mizuri na mortgage zenye rate nzuri kuliko minorities yaani weusi na waspanish.

Na wataalam wa uchumi wanasema haliutazidi kuwa mbaya! Watu watazidi kupoteza kazi na kufukuzwa kwenye majumba. Wanasema hali unaweza kuwa mbaya kama GREAT DEPRESSION ya miaka ya 1930's.

Sasa kuna wimbi la wafanya biashara kutoka nchi za nje waliokuwa na biashara hapa USA, kuondoka na kuaacha biashara zao. Wanaziacha na madeni. Leo unawaona kesho hawapo.

Juzi Rais Bush aliulizwa kuhusu bei ya mafuta na waandishi wa habari. Alijibu kuwa hana habari. Watu walizidi kumchukia.

Sawa alienda Afrika na kutoa misaada. Watu wanasema ilikuwa ni 'Guilt Trip'. Yaani anapooza moyo wake kwa maovu aliyofanya akiwa rais kama kuanzisha vita isiyo na maana huko Iraq.

Sasa watu wanamwona Senator Obama atakuwa mwokozi wa nchi hii. Wanavyomwamudu! Na mimi najua kuwa Obama atakuwa rais mzuri. Ukiwa mweusi nchi hii ni lazima ufanye kazi mra nne ya mzungu kusudi uonekane umefanya kitu.

Mungu awape nguvu waMarekani nguvu katika kipindi hiki kigumu!
