Brazil yamtandika Chile manne!!!!!!!!

Hivi kweli mpaka wa leo katika karne hii bado tunapasa kuendelea kuishi kwenye vijumba vyetu vya asili? Kama wengi wetu tunao uwezo wa kujenga majijumba ya mpaka mamilioni pale Dar, hivi kweli tunashindwa kuwatizama hawa wenzetu na kuwasaidia kuwaondolea hali hii? Hawa wanaoishi hivi nao pia walisaidia sana kuwachagua Wabunge na Raisi wetu kwa mategemeo makubwa ya kufurahia matunda ya uhuru, matokeo yake ni ufisadi na mengineyo mengi...

Hawa jamaa wa Yellow Cab kwa hapa Manhattan, New York wanafujo kama yalivyo madaladala pale Dar. Labda kinachosaidia ni jinsi walivyodhibitiwa vinginevyo mji wangeutawala wao.

Hiki chombo kinachowadhibiti kweli kinahakikisha kwamba wanafuata taratibu na sheria jinsi inavyotakikana.

Kaugali haka kanaonekana katamu sana... tena kwa samaki na mchicha!!!

Taifa la kesho ambalo Mafisadi na baadhi ya viongozi wetu wabovu wanaendelea kuwaharibia maisha yao ya baadaye wakiweka mbele ubinafsi badala kutekeleza yale tuliyowakabidhi kuyafanya ambayo ni kuinua maisha ya kila Mtanzania hasa hasa kina mama na wototo.

Kwa maoni ya wengi jamaa bado anabaki kuwa mchawi wa soka Duniani!!!

Liam Lawrence wa Jamuhuri ya Ireland awaliza tena wenyeji wa Kombe la Dunia 2010, Afrika ya Kusini kwa kufunga bao pekee kwenye mchezo wa kirafiki kati ya timu hizo mbili jana. Hii itakuwa ni mechi ya sita mfululizo kwa Afrika ya Kusini kufungwa.

Kipindi cha Summer ndio kinafikia ukingoni kwa mwaka huu, hivyo basi kila aliye na nafasi ya kufurahia hali nzuri ya hewa huu ndio wakati wenyewe. Pichani watu kibao wakikatiza Times Squares na barabara ya 47 Jijini New York.

Jamaa kanaswa!!

Mwisho wa lami...

Mojawapo ya karaha kubwa ya wakazi wa Jiji la Dar ni kusubiri kwa usafiri wa daladala ambao hauna utaratibu mzuri wa muda. Hatuwezi kuendelea na utaratibu huu halafu tutegemee kutokuwa na foleni mabarabarani. Wazee wa Jiji tafadhali shughulikieni suala la usafiri Dar kana kwamba ni tatizo nambari moja kati ya yote yanayolikabili jiji hili!

Baadhi ya wachezaji wa kikosi cha timu ya Taifa ya Brazil wakila tizi la nguvu tayari kwa mechi yao ya Jumatano na timu ya Taifa ya Chile katika safari yao nyingine ya kutaka kukirudisha kikombe nyumbani.

Glovu aliyowahi kuvaa marehemu Michael Jackson, yanadiwa na kupata mnunuzi nchini Australia kwa Dola za Kimarekani 49,000. Ndiyo Dunia...

Jinsi ilivyokuwa hapo siku ya Jumapili(06/09/2009) wakati wa michuano ya kuwania kwenda Afrika ya Kusini kwa makundi ya nchi za Kiafrika.

African teams vie to comlete W.Cup line-up

Cameroon, Tunisia, Algeria and Ivory Coast are looking good to join Ghana and hosts South Africa and complete the African line-up at the 2010 World Cup.
Ghana become the first African team to secure a place at the first World Cup to be staged on the 'Dark Continent' with a 2-0 triumph win over Sudan in Accra at the weekend courtesy of goals from Sulley Muntari and Michael Essien.
Cameroon, Algeria and Ivory Coast also took maximum points during the fourth series of games in the final qualifying round while Tunisia hit back twice to force a 2-2 draw with Nigeria.
The impact of recently hired French coach Paul le Guen on Cameroon has been immediate and if the 'Indomitable Lions' defeat Gabon for the second time in five days Wednesday they will become Group A leaders.
Not bad for a team that fell in Togo, lost German coach Otto Pfister and managed only a goalless home draw with Morocco under caretaker Thomas N'knono before Le Guen answered a distress signal.
This mini-league is the tightest of the five with three points separating pacesetters Gabon from bottom team Morocco and if Cameroon can win their two remaining home fixtures it could be sufficient.
After tackling Gabon, the 'Lions' host Togo on October 10 before visting Morocco the following month as they seek a record sixth World Cup appearance by an African country.
Le Guen, winner of three consecutive French titles with Lyon this decade, gambled by dropping long-serving defender Rigobert Song and passing the captaincy to star striker Samuel Eto'o.
The results speak for themselves with a 2-0 friendly win in Austria followed by another two-goal triumph last Saturday in Libreville via goals from Achille Emana and three-time African Footballer of the Year Eto'o.
Tunisia can clinch Group B honours if they beat Kenya at home and Mozambique away, an achievement that will be hard for Nigerians to accept after their shock failure to reach the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Nigeria have the same opponents with a visit from Mozambique followed by a journey to Kenya and if there is a glimmer of hope it would be that a fixture in Nairobi is probably easier than one in Maputo.
Banker may be a dangerous word to use in the unpredictable world of football, but it surely applies to Ivory Coast, who need one point from encounters with Malawi (away) and Guinea (home) to top Group E.
The Ivorian 'Elephants' share with Ghana a 100 percent record after four rounds and having routed Malawi 5-0 in Abidjan last March, there is no reason to doubt that they can take at least one point from Blantyre next month.
It looks like African champions Egypt will have to defeat Zambia (away) and Group C leaders Algeria (home) to have any hope of reaching South Africa as they trail their fierce North African rivals by three points.
This race may not even go to Cairo in mid-November because it seems far more likely that Algeria will defeat visiting Rwanda next month than Egypt will achieve a similar result in Zambia.
The five group winners qualify for the World Cup between June 11 and July 11 while the top three finishers in each mini-league go the African Nations Cup in Angola five months earlier.

Hulka yetu sisi binadamu na jinsi tulivyo tutatafuta kila namna ili kujijengea umaarufu, hata kama umaarufu wenyewe utakuja katika hali ya kujiuliza " ni kwa nini?" Haya, watizame hawa ndugu...

Hivi ndivyo ilivyokuwa hapo jana wakati wa mchuano wa kuwania tiketi ya kwenda Afrika ya Kusini 2010, ambako Brazil walimpa kipigo Argentina 3-1.

Picha zaidi za mazishi ya Michael Jackson jana.

MUNGU AMLAZE MAHALI PEMA PEPONI !!!!

AMINA.

UNREST AS DICTATOR'S SON DECLARED WINNER IN GABON

Gabon's government declared late dictator Omar Bongo's son the winner of presidential elections Thursday, triggering the worst violence in years in the oil-rich nation.
In Gabon's steamy coastal city of Port Gentil, mobs protesting 50-year-old Ali Bongo's electoral victory burned France's consulate, attacked the offices of French oil giant Total and pillaged shops.
Over 41 years, Omar Bongo's family amassed a fortune from the country's oil wealth, owning 45 homes in France and more than a dozen luxury cars including a Bugatti worth $1.5 million. Meanwhile, a third of Gabon's citizens lived in wretched poverty, some digging through garbage dumps for food.
Opposition supporters, feeling Sunday's election was stolen and aghast that the Bongo family would continue to rule, turned their anger on the country's former colonial ruler, France, widely suspected of having propped up the dictator and meddling in the elections.
In Paris, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Gabonese troops helped evacuate people from offices of Total and Schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield services company.
"We firmly condemn these attacks on public order and we are ready to help French citizens if they need it," Kouchner said. "For the moment, there is no need."
A Polish female Schlumberger field engineer in Port Gentil was seriously hurt during rioting in the city, located 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Libreville, said company spokesman Stephen Whittaker in Paris.
In the capital, Libreville, police fired tear gas at demonstrators, injuring one of the country's main opposition candidates, Pierre Mamboundou, who reportedly went into hiding. The violence was also felt abroad as protesters in Dakar, Senegal, stormed Gabon's embassy and set it ablaze.
The special ballot was called after Omar Bongo's death in June, and many hoped the vote would turn a new page in a nation ruled by one man for the past four decades. Instead, the disputed poll is fueling fears the forested country of 1.5 million people will destabilize.
Still, the unrest is not likely to affect global oil prices, said Leo Drollas, chief economist at the London-based Center for Global Energy Studies, noting Gabon's small petroleum output. According to the U.S. Energy Administration, Gabon produces 247,000 barrels of oil a day, around one-tenth of Nigeria's production.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for calm and urged the candidates and their supporters to resolve grievances "through legal and institutional channels," U.N. deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said at U.N. headquarters in New York.
U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said international observers "had noted some irregularities" but said Washington had made no call on whether the vote was fair. He urged all parties to remain calm and "uphold the democratic process."
France's minister for cooperation, Alain Joyandet, denied the French government meddled in the election, challenging critics "to find the slightest proof" of French intervention.
Tensions had been rising for days as Gabon awaited results from Sunday's poll, which were initially expected Wednesday but were delayed because the election commission purportedly disagreed on how to review province-by-province results.
Right before the results were announced, police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of opposition protesters who had camped out overnight in the main square flanking the election commission's office, where they dragged a coffin representing the death of the Bongo regime, which has ruled since 1967, and chanted: "Death to Ali!"
When police descended on them protesters ran, tripping over each other. Some had blood dripping down their arms and faces.
Interior Minister Jean-Francois Ndongou then announced that Ali Bongo, the country's defense minister who campaigned from a private jet and plastered the capital with billboards, won with 41.7 percent of the vote.
The top two opposition leaders — Andre Mba Obame and Mamboundou — were nearly tied, receiving 25.8 and 25.2 percent of the vote respectively, Ndongou said.
Obame owns a TV station which lost its signal on Sunday. The station borrowed equipment to broadcast the election results but before dawn Wednesday, masked men opened fire on the station, damaging its satellite uplink, said station manager Franck Nguema.
The advocacy group Reporters Without Borders said journalists have been threatened or beaten and the signals of some TV stations have been cut.
Mamboundou was injured in the arm by police during the violence, said Louis-Gaston Mayila, head of a political party allied to Mamboundou. Mayila said Mamboundou has gone into hiding.
Minister of Communication Laure Gondjout denied Mamboundou was hurt.
Late Wednesday, Mamboundou had called the election "a fraudulent farce" and insisted that results of individual polling stations showed he had around 40 percent of the vote, with Bongo snaring less than 30.
"It's not just a possibility of fraud. It's fraud pure and simple," Mamboundou said. "The Gabonese people do not want a dynasty. Forty-two years of President Bongo is enough. They want change."
After results were announced, protesters in Libreville tried to block roads with burning tires and the shells of old cars but security forces removed the roadblocks. In one neighborhood, they stopped a bus and ordered the passengers to get down, then set fire to it. Elsewhere, protesters pulled down Ali Bongo's posters and stomped on his image.
In Port Gentil, demonstrators also broke down the doors to the prison, liberating the prisoners, said Dianney Madztou, the editor-in-chief of local TV station Top Bendje.
In Dakar, Senegal, plumes of thick black smoke rose from Gabon's embassy after two dozen Gabonese students forced their way into the two-story villa and set it ablaze. The embassy was closed at the time, with only one guard present.
"We want change," said one of the students. "This election is a fraud."

Hapa nilinusurika kidogo la sivyo ningemkwangua huyu mwendesha pikipiki! Hii ilikuwa pale 3rd Avenue na 56th Street. Undeshaji katika jiji hili ni lazima uwe makini sana kwani hawa jamaa wa Yellow cab kwa ubabe barabarani wanawashinda hata wale wa dala dala pale Dar.

The Rhythm of Fall

2009 Fall Benefit

The Touch Foundation’s fall benefit will take place at the chic, ultra-lounge Marquee, on Wednesday, October 28th from 8-11 pm.

This is ground-breaking event is being hosted in collaboration with Cocody Productions and is the first live music event the Touch Foundation has planned. Jabali. Swahili for for "Rock”, is a multi-faceted group that originates from East Africa's Kenya. Their origin can be traced to the Kenya National Theatre Dance Troupe, but has evolved into their own unique sound of original compositions and traditional African rhythms come alive on a wide variety of instruments, accompanied by vocal harmonies that form the foundation of modern rock, jazz, blues and more.

Tickets will be $50 per person and $75 at the door. 100% of the proceeds from the event will go towards the Touch Foundation’s scholarship fund, which assists future doctors, nurses and other health care professionals achieve their dreams of preventing diseases and treating their communities.

About the Touch Foundation

We think it is unacceptable that despite ongoing development efforts, sub-Saharan Africa still faces an overwhelming healthcare crisis. In Tanzania where the Touch Foundation is working, there is one doctor for every 30,000 people. In comparison, there is one doctor for every 198 people in New York.

The Touch Foundation is making a real difference by funding a teaching hospital and medical school in Mwanza, Tanzania. They base strategies on facts and work directly with country’s leaders to rebuild existing healthcare systems. They gain traction through key partnerships, including McKinsey & Company, Merck, Stroock, Weill Cornell, and USAID, among others.

Guest Demographics

The fall fundraiser is hosted by the Touch Foundation’s Young Leaders, a volunteer group made-up of exceptional young professionals between the ages of 23-35 in the greater NYC area with varying occupational backgrounds.
