It is well established around the world that Tanzania has two famous tourist destinations, namely Zanzibar and Arusha.

However, many people know little about some upcoming tourist circuits, such as the Selous game reserve which is in the southern part of the country.
That was not the case with King Mswati II of Swaziland who arrived in the country on Wednesday ahead of the Global Smart Partnership Dialogues that are taking place in city.
King Mswati upon his arrival from Selous on Friday spoke highly of the game park which has won his heart and mind. Speaking to the ‘Sunday News’ in an exclusive interview the King said: “It was nice to be in Selous.”
Other World leaders who arrived on Friday included UgandaPresident Yoweri Museveni, the incumbent Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak and the Zambian Vice President Dr Guy Scott attending the Dialogue.
It is obvious that because of the beauty of the game reserve no one if informed about the wonders of the Selous can resist to visit the area. Selous game reserve is the largest animal habitat where among other wildlife there is the largest population of elephants existing there.
Commenting on the Dialogue, which King Mswati is attending, he described the ongoing Dialogues as very important. He said that it is all about countries networking to achieve common technological development goals.
“No country can live alone, since we are all members of African Union,” said the King. “We have to work together to achieve a common goal,” he stressed.
In his remarks on the Dialogue, President Museveni said that technology is crucial for the contemporary life. While the Zambian Vice President Dr Scott said that he was expecting constructive discussions in the ongoing Dialogue.
“We have also hosted a similar partnership meeting in Zambia,” he said.
President Jakaya Kikwete opened the Dialogue on Friday urging African leaders to invest in Science education and training of indigenous mass that can ultimately assist in finding home grown practical solutions to challenges that the continent confronts in daily life.

Kenyan scholar releases a book on Tanzania, ahead of Barack Obama visit

USA: A Kenyan professor based in the US has published a book on the Culture and Customs of Tanzania ahead of the historic visit of Tanzania by US President Barack Obama.

Dr. Kefa Otiso
Dr. Kefa Otiso
Professor Kefa Otiso, one of the leading Kenyan scholars based in the US has been at the forefront in championing Diaspora issues especially Dual Citizenship and the full implementation of voting rights for the Diaspora.
The book, ‘ Culture and Customs of Tanzania’ released at the end of January 2013 by Greenwood Press, is a reference volume covering the geography and history of Tanzania in addition to the country’s religious practices, literature, media, film, art, housing, cuisine, dress, marriage and family structures, gender roles, social customs and lifestyles, as well as music, dance and drama.
The 250 pages hard cover book is now available in bookstores and Amazon.
Tanzania is the largest and most diverse country in East Africa. It is larger than the combined area of its immediate neighbours; Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda. Aside from its more than 130 indigenous ethnic groups, it also has a sprinkling of people groups from other parts of the world.
Most of its people are practitioners of Christianity, Islam, and various African traditional religions. Yet despite this diversity, Tanzania is one of Africa’s most politically stable countries. It currently has one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
Speaking to The Standard, Prof Otiso said that even though he would have loved to write one on his native Kenya, he couldn’t because Neal Sobania had already written that volume in 2003.  Nevertheless Otiso is at the forefront of promoting Kenya’s cause in the US as current president of the Kenya Scholars and Studies Association whose annual conference is held every September.
Otiso, who also wrote the Culture and Customs of Uganda in 2006, is grateful for the chance to write the two books “because they have given me a chance to expand the frontiers of knowledge as well as my horizon”.
Both books are designed to be accessible to wide audiences including students, tourists, journalists and other general readers.
He encourages Africans, especially academicians, to be at the forefront of writing their countries’ stories and histories as this would go a long way in correcting the continent’s poor image abroad.
“A lot of the books that currently exist on Africa are really on the experience of outsiders such as Europeans in Africa. These outsiders seldom do a good job of portraying the continent’s cultures and customs,” he said.
The release of Otiso’s publication is timely as it coincides with President Obama’s visit to Tanzania at the end of June 2013.
During the socialist era, Tanzania emphasised on the publication of Swahili books. When it switched to capitalism in the mid-1980s, it started to promote the use of English and has since had a big shortage of English books.
Besides the lack of enough English writers in the country, the shortage is also due to its young publishing industry.
Some of the Tanzanians who have seen the book wish it were available in the Tanzanian school system that seldom teaches the material covered in the book. Many Tanzanians are relatively uninformed of the geography and history of their own country.
Prof Otiso teaches urban, economic, population, and development geography at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, USA. He is also the director of the university’s global village.  Otiso can be reached at kmotiso@outlook.com.

Shocking CCTV footage has emerged showing of the moment a wild leopard wandered into the apartment lobby and snatched a pet dog.

Closing in: The wild leopard moves towards the pet dog - seen in the bottom right corner of the shot - in these shocking CCTV images
Closing in: The wild leopard moves towards the pet dog – seen in the bottom right corner of the shot – in these shocking CCTV images
The chilling clip lasts just 21 seconds, but films the entire savage attack in a housing complex in Mulund, northeast of Mumbai, India.
A fixed security camera picks up the sleek silhouette of the big cat as it strolls into the lobby. 
The lightly coloured dog can be seen curled up, possibly asleep, in the bottom right of shot – oblivious to the approaching predator.
Within a few seconds the leopard has closed in on the unsuspecting pet.
Grabbed: The cameras show the prone dog desperately try to force the wild cat to loosen its grip on its throat
Grabbed: The cameras show the prone dog desperately try to force the wild cat to loosen its grip on its throat
By the time the canine realises it is in mortal danger, the leopard clamps its jaws around the dog’s throat.
The pet ferociously struggles in vain to free itself from the cat’s vice-like-grip, as it is dragged towards the exit, during the video clip.
The leopard pauses for a moment, standing its front legs on its stricken prey, then darts towards the open doors.
The entire attack lasts little more than seven seconds before the dog is pulled out of camera shot and into the darkness of the Mumbai streets, where it is assumed it was eaten.
Leopards have mauled or killed more than 100 people over the past decade in and around Mumbai and official attempts to solve the problem were making it worse.
The problem or wild cat attacks is not restricted to India.
Earlier this year, marksmen had to shoot dead a leopard which seriously injured 15 people – including three police officers – after wandering into a suburb of Kathmandu.
A furious crowd dragged the mortally wounded animal through the streets of Gothatar on the outskirts of Kathmandu at.
Graphic photographs capture residents fleeing for their lives as the leopard prowled between buildings.
Armed police from Metropolitan Police Circle, Koteshwor, were on the scene within minutes and managed to corner the animal, but not before it had mauled more than a dozen residents.
Upto three policemen and two officials from the Department of Forest were injured as they tried to trap the wild cat, according to local reports.
Police said that all the injured were rushed to Mother Land Hospital, Pepsicola for the medical treatment.

Ujio wa Obama: Mashirika ya ndege yatakiwa kubadili ratiba za safari Julai Mosi

Maandalizi ya ujio wa Rais wa Marekani, Barack Obama nchini yanazidi kupamba moto huku maofisa wa usalama wa Marekani wakipiga kambi katika Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Julius Nyerere (JNIA), Dar es Salaam.

Aidha, kutokana na ujio huo, Serikali imeagiza mashirika yote ya ndege kubadili ratiba zao za safari Julai Mosi, siku ambayo Rais huo atatua nchini.
Jana, waandishi wetu walishuhudia pilikapilika za kuimarisha ulinzi katika uwanja huo jambo ambalo uongozi wa uwanja huo jambo wamelieleza kwamba halijawahi kutokea.
Ulinzi haujawahi kutokea
Mkurugenzi wa Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Julius Nyerere, Moses Malaki alisema jana kwamba ratiba za uwanjani hapo zitabadilika kutokana na uzito wa ugeni huo.
Alisema kwa kawaida anapokuja kiongozi mkubwa wa kitaifa katika uwanja huo hakuna ndege inayoruhusiwa kutua kwa kipindi cha nusu saa.
“Ni kweli hali hiyo pia itakuwapo atakapokuja Rais Obama na safari za ndege zitabadilika kulingana na ratiba ya kutua na kuondoka kwa Rais huyo,” alisema Malaki.
Pia alisema ulinzi katika uwanja huo umeimarishwa kwa mwezi mmoja sasa na tangu wakati huo, maofisa wa usalama wa Marekani wamekuwa wakifika kwa nyakati mbalimbali.
“Sijawahi kuona ulinzi mkali kama huu, wamekuja marais wengi hapa nchini lakini ulinzi huu ni wa kutisha, sijui kwa sababu gani?” alisema Malaki.
Alisema awali, wakati maofisa hao walipoanza kuwasili nchini hawakutambua ni mgeni gani anayetarajia kufika lakini baadaye walipelekewa taarifa kuwa ni Rais Obama na baadaye walitaarifiwa kuwa angetua saa 8.40 mchana, Julai Mosi.

Mkurugenzi huyo alisema Rais Obama atakuja na ndege nne, moja itakayombeba, ya pili kwa ajili ya mizigo, ya tatu itakuwa ya waandishi wa habari na maofisa wa usalama na ya mwisho ni kwa ajili ya dharura ambayo itaegeshwa katika Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Kilimanjaro (KIA).

Watu watano wanaodaiwa kuwa ni wafuasi wa chama cha African National Congress (ANC) nchini Africa Kusini wanashikiliwa na polisi kwa tuhuma za kutupa kinyesi kwenye uwanja wa ndege wa Cape Town.
Kaimu Msemaji wa uwanja huo wa ndege Deborah Francis alisema watu hao waliojifanya wasafiri wakiwa wamebeba mfuko wa plastic waliingia katika geti la kutokea abiria na baada ya dakika chache walitupa kinyesi hicho na kukimbia.
Hata hivyo polisi walifanikiwa kuwakamata na baada ya uchunguzi walibainika kuwa miongoni mwao ni wafuasi wa ANC na watafikishwa mahakamani kujibu mashtaka hayo.

First Lady Margaret Kenyatta has called for suppression of demand for ivory if elephants are to be saved for future generations.
She said those in the ivory business contribute to its demand which leads to killing of elephants.
“I hope that those who buy and use ivory in Africa, Asia, Europe and Americas understand the message-‘Stop buying ivory!” she said.
Youth active role
Speaking at the Mt Kenya Academy in Nyeri on Tuesday, the First Lady urged youth to take an active role in saving elephants.
“You can express yourself by talking to your parents; you can write letters to your MP, Senator, Governor even your President to save elephants. Read more

Bishop Charles Gadi: Serikali iyabane makampuni ya madini na hoteli za kitalii

SERIKALi imeshauriwa kuhakikisha inayabana  makampuni makubwa ya madini na hoteli za kitalii ambazo hukwepa kodi aidha kwa kuungana au kubadilisha majina mara kwa mara baada ya kipindi kifupi.

Kauli hiyo imeelezwa na Mwenyekiti wa Huduma ya Good News for All, Askofu Charles Gadi wakati akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jijini Dar es Salaam ambapo alisema kiasi kikubwa cha mapato kimekuwa kikipotea kutokana na usimamizi hafifu.
Ambapo amesema serikali iangalie uwezekano wa kuwapeleka wafanyakazi wa mamlaka ya mapato (TRA) nje ya nchi na hasa katika nchi ya Singapore ili kuweza kujifunza namna ya ukusanyaji kodi vizuri.

"Nchi nyingi za nje zimefanikiwa sana katika ukusanyaji wa kodi za majengo na biashara nyinginezo na hivyo kuinua uchumi wa nchi zao, sasa ni vyema kuwekeza kwenye elimu ya wakusanyaji kodi ili wajue zaidi kodi za gesi na nishati kama hizo" alisema Askofu Gadi.

Alisema wengi wao hawajui hawajui hali halisi ya madini au gesi hivyo si rahisi kwa wao kujua bila kusomea, hivyo ni muhimu wakapewa elimu juu ya madini hasa dhahabu, Urani na gesi.

Aidha Askofu Gadi alitumia fursa hiyo kuiomba serikali kuangalia vyanzo vingine vya kukusanya mapato badala ya kutegemea kila bajeti kuongeza kwenye pombe na sigara.

"Kuendelea kupandisha mapato ya sigara na pombe kutawafanya wanywaji pombe wapeleke hela nyingi zaidi kwenye baa na kupunguza fedha ambazo zingetumika kwenye maendeleo mengine ya familia zao" alisema.

Aidha Katibu wa Huduma hiyo Mchungaji Palemo Massawe alisema ni muhimu kwa serikali ikazingatia kuimarisha sekta ya utalii ili kuongeza pato la taifa kupitia sekta hiyo.

Alisema kwa sasa Tanzania inapokea watalii laki nane kwa mwaka idadi ambayo bado ni ndogo kulinganisha na vivutio vilivyopo.


"Ni ajabu kwa nchi kwa nchi yetu kushindwa kufikia kupokea idadi ya watalii kuanzia milioni kumi na zaidi ili hali tuna vivutio vingi na vizuri zaidi" alisema Mchungaji Massawe.

In this regard the President Uhuru said a quick win that can be implemented and which would have a tremendous impact to the economies of the member states would be a common EAC Tourist Visa.
“It is my hope that our governments can work on this and other initiatives that will have tangible benefits for our economies and people,” the President said.
He noted that Uganda is a key economic partner to Kenya and gave his personal commitment to ensure Kenya does its part in facilitating trade and investment between the two countries.
“ Uganda is Kenya’s largest export destination globally. Kenyan companies are also leading investors inUganda in the areas of banking, insurance, manufacturing, and agriculture. In addition, mostUgandan imports and exports pass through our Port of Mombasa,” he said.
The President noted that it is for this reason that he directed the operations at the Port of Mombasa be streamlined with the aim of hastening the clearing of cargo.
“In addition, I have directed that the relevant government agencies ensure that the movement of goods from Mombasa to Malaba takes a maximum of five days. Indeed, the current situation where goods take up to eighteen days to get to Kampala from Mombasa is untenable and unsustainable if our businesses are going to thrive and transform to global corporations, “   the Head of State said
Speaking on Monday night during a state banquet held in his honour at State House Entebbe, Uganda, President Uhuru noted that regional economic integration is an important component in the development agenda of the EAC.
He said the Kenyan and Ugandan Governments hold the key to the prosperity of the people of these two nations.
President Uhuru reiterated the need for unity among the political, legislative and public service leaders in EAC Member States so as to ensure that the potential of the Community is achieved.
“With a market of over 130 million people, our East African Community has the potential for rapid economic growth and massive employment creation,” the President said.
Expressing his commitment to the ideals of EAC, President Uhuru noted that his Government is focused in achieving the integration agenda which he noted marks the beginning of Africa renaissance.
He said integration agenda can only be achieved by getting rid of all non-tariff barriers to trade that may be hindering the movement of goods as well as workers across the different countries.
The President further said legislatures also need to domesticate all aspects of the Customs Union and Common Market Protocols.
Speaking during the function, President Yoweri Museveni expressed his gratitude to Kenya and other nations for hosting Ugandans during their time of need adding that Kenya is home to many Ugandans.
President Uhuru is in Uganda to attend the Infrastructure and Investment Summit.
He is accompanied by Cabinet Secretaries, Ambassador Amina Mohamed, Engineer Michael Kamau, Adan Mohammed and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.

Rais wa Marekani, Barack Obama.Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Licha ya ujumbe wa Rais wa Marekani, Barrack Obama kutarajiwa kufikia katika hoteli kubwa zenye hadhi wakati kiongozi huyo atakapowasili nchini Julai Mosi mwaka huu, Ikulu ya Marekani imetoa tahadhari ya vyakula ambavyo hawatakiwi kuvigusa wakiwa nchini ikiwa ni pamoja na kutumia maji ya bomba.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya maelekezo ya Ikulu ya Marekani, watu watakaokuwa kwenye msafara wa Obama wametakiwa kutotumia kachumbari. Pia imewataka kutumia maji ya chupa zaidi.

“Kutokana na mfumo wa maji uliopo, tunashauri watu wetu kutumia maji ya chupa zaidi kwa kunywa na hata kwa kupiga mswaki,” imesema taarifa hiyo.

Kwa kuelewa fika tatizo la ugonjwa wa malaria nchini, ujumbe wa Obama umeshauriwa kutumia dawa ya mbu ya kupaka na kupuliza inayoitwa Deet.

Deet ni dawa maarufu huko Marekani na ikiwa katika aina tofauti ikiwamo ya kupaka na kupuliza na imekuwa ikitumiwa na Jeshi la Marekani kwenye vita mbalimbali tangu miaka ya 1940 kabla ya kuanza kutumiwa na raia mwaka 1957.

Maelekezo katika ATM

Pia watu watakaokuwa kwenye msafara wa Rais Obama wametakiwa kuhakikisha wanatumia mashine za kutolea fedha (ATM) zilizoko karibu na hoteli watakazofikia.

“Kuna tatizo la uhalifu kwa hiyo siyo vizuri kutumia ATM ambazo ziko katika sehemu zisizo salama. Pia katika kipindi watakachokuwa Tanzania watu wanapaswa kutumia teksi ambazo zimeidhinishwa na hoteli.

“Pia siyo vizuri kuacha kompyuta ya fedha kwenye vyumba mtakavyolala. Pia kina mama wanapaswa kuchukua tahadhari ya mabegi yao watakapokuwa wanapita mitaani,” ilitahadharisha taarifa hiyo.

Gland, Switzerland: WWF has welcomed the announcement that Peru will be the host of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) twentieth session of the Conference of Parties (COP 20) in December 2014.

The presidency of COP 20 will have an extraordinary opportunity to shape a future global deal, says Samantha Smith, leader of WWF’s Global Climate & Energy Initiative. 

“It will require depth and driving commitment in leadership and diplomacy if we are to have meaningful progress in these international climate negotiations going into 2015, and I believe Peru is the country that is fully capable of delivering on this,” Smith said.

As a developing country, Peru will be in a unique position to straddle one of the most contentious divides in the negotiations, between developed and developing countries. 

“We would like to see Peru driving a progressive approach to resolving key issues of ambition and finance,” Tasneem Essop, WWF Head of Delegation to the UNFCCC.

WWF-Peru CEO Patricia Leon Melgar says Peru, and all Latin America, have much at stake, both in terms of impact and in providing solutions in these negotiations. 

“From our massive forest carbon stores to the need to adapt to climate change to meet our development needs, this is a moment and opportunity for Peru and Latin America to show the necessary leadership to tackle these global problems. WWF congratulates the Peruvian government and looks forward to work close along with the rest of civil society to prepare for this event.”
