HUU NDIYO UJUMBE WA ZITTO KABWE KWA WATANZANIA KUTOKANA NA KIFO CHA MZEE WETU RASHID MFAUME KAWAWA (SIMBA WA VITA)

Mh. Zitto Kabwe.

Leo tukiwa katika siku ya mwisho ya mwaka 2009 na tukijiandaa kuingia mwaka mpya wa 2010, tumepatwa na habari za msiba wa Kiongozi mwanzilishi wa Taifa letu Simba wa Vita Mzee Rashidi Mfaume Kawawa. Kwa Mtanzania yeyote kifo hiki ni pigo kubwa sana, lakini pia ni fursa ya kukumbuka vyema historia ya Tanganyika na Tanzania. Ni fursa ya kuona Watanzania waliojitoa kuona kuwa kunakuwa na Taifa kutoka miongoni mwa nchi iliyokuwa ni mkusanyo tu wa makabila zaidi ya 120. Watu waliojitoa bila kuwa na uzoefu wowote wa si tu kuongoza serikali bali muhimu zaidi uzoefu wa kukusanya makabila, dini na wasio na dini na kuunda Taifa moja imara na la kujivunia linaloitwa Tanzania. Mzee Rashidi Mfaume Kawawa ni mmoja wa watu hawa waliorithi kutoka kwa mkoloni mwingireza nchi iliyokuwa na wakazi takribani milioni 8, isiyo na chuo kikuu hata kimoja, yenye madaktari wawili tu na isiyo na mfumo kabisa. Uhai wa mzee Kawawa, kuwepo kwake na kupumua kulitupa ahueni kuwa tunapo pa kukimbilia na kujifunza kama lolote lingetokea.
Mzee Kawawa ni mfano wa kuigwa kuhusu maana halisi ya utumishi wa Umma. Alikuwa jemedari wa kutegemewa katika utekelezaji wa Dira na ajenda za kujenga Taifa bila kujali maumivu yake kisiasa. Sisi vijana tuliozaliwa miaka ya sabini mwishoni mpaka themanini hatukuona kwa jicho la kuelewa kipindi kigumu cha ujenzi wa Taifa na ujenzi wa Ujamaa nchini. Hata hivyo tulikuwa tukisikia wakubwa wakizungumza na kummlaumu sana Mzee Kawawa kutokana na utekelezaji wa sera mbalimbali kana kwamba zilikuwa ni zake na sio maamuzi ya vikao vya TANU na Serikali iliyokuwa inaongozwa na TANU. Tukiwa masomoni tumejifunza kuwa yeye ndiye alikuwa mtekelezaji mkuu wa maamuzi magumu chini ya Mwalimu Nyerere. Katika kutekeleza huku alibeba lawama za kisiasa, hakujali. Hakutikisika. Muhimu zaidi alimkinga Mwalimu Nyerere kwa yeye kubeba lawama zote za utekelezaji wa maamuzi yote ya chama. Aliweka Taifa mbele ya maslahi yake ya kisiasa. Simba wa Vita alichukulia uongozi katika mantiki ya utumishi haswa na sio katika mantiki ya sasa ya uheshimiwa. Hili ni jambo kubwa la kujifunza.
Maisha ya Mzee Kawawa Kisiasa na Kiuongozi yanawakilisha taathira ya Utanzania kwa maana ya Utu na Usawa bila ya kutumia madaraka yake kujikweza kitabaka. Watoto wa Mzee Kawawa wamesoma katika shule ambazo watoto wa Watanzania wengine wamesoma. Mimi binafsi nimesoma na binti yake anayeitwa Zainab na tulikuwa naye katika harakati za wanafunzi pale Mlimani kama mwanafunzi mwingine yeyote. Hii iliwezekana tu kwa sababu waasisi hawa wa Taifa walihakikisha kuwa shule za Umma ni bora kuweza kuelimisha Watanzania. Hivi sasa hali ni tofauti kwani viongozi tunashindana aina za shule ambazo watoto wetu wanasoma. Hii ni kwa sababu tumedidimiza shule za Umma, na kwa kuwa hazituumi ni rahisi sana kuzipuuza. Sera za kiliberali zimefanya elimu kuwa bidhaa inayouzwa katika soko. Wasisi wa Taifa hawakutaka hili kwani kama wangekuwa na fikra hizi toka mwanzoni mwa uhuru watoto wengi wa masikini ambao ndio viongozi wetu leo wasingepata elimu. Utekelezaji wa Azimio la Arusha ambalo lilitekelezwa kwa ujasiri mkubwa na Mzee Kawawa ulifungua fursa kwa watoto wote wa Tanzania bila kujali hali za wazazi wao kupata elimu na huduma nyingine za jamii. Hali ni tofauti kabisa katika nchi nyingine za Kiafrika ambapo mwenye mali ndio anapata huduma bora.
Kifo cha Mzee Kawawa ni fursa. Ni fursa ya kutafakari na kujadiliana kuhusu misingi na Dira ya Taifa letu kama ambavyo walifikiri na kuijenga wakati walipokuwa wakipigania uhuru na hata baada ya kupata Uhuru. Ni jukumu la Vijana wa sasa kuona kuwa Wazee hawa waasisi ambao ndio wanakwisha hivyo na kutangulia mbele ya haki walifanya wajibu wao - kuleta Uhuru na kujenga Taifa. Vijana wanapaswa kuhakikisha kuwa tunahodhi jukumu la kuirejesha, kuilinda na kuienzi misingi ya Taifa ya Umoja, Utu na Uzalendo kwa Taifa.
Historia inatuambia kitu kimoja kuhusu Mzee Rashidi Mfaume Kawawa. Kwamba, Kama Mwalimu Nyerere alikuwa Wino ulioandika TANZANIA, Mzee Kawawa alikuwa Kalamu. Nenda Simba wa Vita, msalimu rafikiyo kipenzi Mwalimu.

Rooney sets goal target

Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney admits he would be stunned if he failed to eclipse his best seasonal goal tally of 23.
Rooney found the net for the 15th time this season as he scored the first goal in Manchester United's 5-0 hammering of Wigan at Old Trafford on Wednesday. The result took the Red Devils to within two points of Premier League leaders Chelsea heading into 2010, just as Sir Alex Ferguson demanded.
In addition, United have clawed back Chelsea's massive goal difference advantage. Now they trail by just two, with Rooney certain he is going to get a few more.
"I would hope to beat my best total," he said. "If I don't get another eight goals from now until the end of the season there is something seriously wrong. I hit the post before I scored and the bar afterwards. I am doing well and I feel fit. Hopefully that will continue."
Following on from his superb performance at Hull on Sunday, it was another masterclass from Rooney, which drew warm praise from Ferguson. "Wayne was absolutely fantastic again, just like Sunday," said the United boss. "The energy he showed in his game and his desire is marvellous."
Even Wigan boss Roberto Martinez was purring. "Wayne Rooney has been showing great maturity for the whole season," he said. "He is among that elite group of players in the Premier League who are truly world class."
Valencia improveHowever, Rooney was not alone in excelling. Antonio Valencia in particular had a productive night against his old club, taking his own tally to seven by netting the final goal of the year after Michael Carrick, Rafael Da Silva and Dimitar Berbatov had found the net.
"Valencia is doing really well," said Rooney. "He is really quick and is aggressive getting to the ball and his crosses are brilliant. To score seven goals already is a great achievement."
Ferguson believes the Ecuador winger will get even more as the season goes on, and they will be needed too as United chase a record fourth consecutive Premier League title. Aston Villa's stumble over the Christmas period seems to have turned the title battle into a three-horse race between United, Chelsea and Arsenal, who have a match in hand. "It is fairly close at the top," Rooney added. "Arsenal are up there as well and the team who is most consistent from now on will win the league."
It was Wigan's misfortune to catch United on a night when they produced their best performance of the season so far. However, Martinez's side showed a worrying willingness to let United play and he admitted it was a bad night.
"We made it easy for them," he said. "We didn't play like a team and showed our weaknesses. You have to work as a group. We were just individuals. We have to try and get rid of that inconsistency because we are hurting."
However, Martinez declined to condemn Hendry Thomas for walking slowly off the pitch when he was substituted and refusing to shake the hand of his replacement Scott Sinclair. "There is no problem," said Martinez. "We are all frustrated and disappointed. If Hendry didn't feel hurt there would be something wrong."

Obama ataka majibu kuhusu usalama

Rais Barack Obama wa Marekani.

Rais Barack Obama ametaka vyombo vya usalama vya marekani kueleza mara moja ni kwa nini habari kuhusu raia wa Nigeria aliyejaribu kulipua ndege ya marekani hazikutumiwa ipasavyo.
Bwana Obama amezipa idara za usalama hadi alhamisi tarehe 31, kueleza jinsi Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab alivyoruhusiwa kupanda ndege ya marekani wakati ambapo tahadhari ilikuwa imetolewa kumhusu.
Wazazi wa Umar walikuwa wametahadharisha ubalozi wa marekani nchini Nigeria kuhusu mwenendo wa mwana wao.
Obama ameshutumu idara hizo kwa uzembe ambao nusura ungesababisha maafa. Amesema kuwa iwapo habari kumhusu Umar zingetumiwa vilivyo na idara za usalama, raia huyo wa Nigeria hangeruhusiwa kusafiri.
Umar mwenye umri wa miaka 23 alikuwa amejaribu kulipua ndege ya Marekani iliyokuwa na abiria 300 mnamo tarehe 25 mwezi desemba.

Clinical Torres delights Benitez

Fernando Torres.

Rafa Benitez hailed Fernando Torres as one of the best strikers in the world after his late goal against Aston Villa reignited Liverpool's UEFA Champions League hopes. The Spanish star netted his 50th league goal for the Reds in the third minute of injury time to become the fastest player to achieve a half century for the Merseysiders in his 72nd Premier League game.
Victory enabled Liverpool to reduce the gap to fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur to four points, and moved them within two points of Villa.
"We knew we had to reduce the gap," said Benitez. "Sometimes we have had some really bad luck. Today we have scored a late goal and I'm really pleased for Fernando and the team.
It was his 50th league goal and when he signed for us I knew we were getting a very good player with good quality and a good mentality. You saw that today. He has one chance and he can score. He is one of the best strikers in the world.
When he signed for us I knew we were getting a very good player. He has one chance and he can score. He is one of the best strikers in the world.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez on Fernando Torres
Benitez knows the importance of keeping Torres, who has been troubled by a groin problem, fit for the majority of the campaign, although he revealed an ankle injury has also given cause for concern.
"Fernando has had some problems with his ankle more than his groin, and he has been working very hard with the fitness coach and the physio," the former Valencia coach explained. "It depends on how he feels (in terms of how many games he can play) but today he was okay."
Benitez also repeated his "guarantee" that Liverpool would finish in the top four. "People keep asking me this but I will say again, the manager has to believe and I believe we will be in the top four at the end of the season," he said.
O'Neill rues Reina savesVilla manager Martin O'Neill was deflated after his side's second defeat in three days, following the 3-0 loss at Arsenal on Sunday. And he felt the extra 24 hours Liverpool had to recover from their game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday may have been a factor.
"It's a blow, there's no doubt about it, a real, real blow to us," he rued. "We will just have to reflect on it. It was said to me that it's been a poor Christmas and, of course, yes, in terms of results it has been, but we should have won.
"We played two games in 48 hours - this sounds very much like a bleat - but at this stage of the season those extra hours might have made a difference. Having said that, I thought we finished very strongly. There was a little period about 20 minutes into the second half where I thought we got a bit of control, came again very strongly.
"Their goalkeeper (Pepe Reina) has made a great save in each half, one from Stewart Downing and one from Gabby (Agbonlahor) later on. We have had two which have gone inches past the post. It's hard to take but we will come again."

Mapacha Africa Sauti za Busara Festival Artists 2010!!

Utilising traditional rhythms and instruments, Mapacha Africa has brought forth another dimension to popular Kenyan music. The septet traces its beginnings to western Kenya in 1989 when these seven friends were in primary school. Inspired by the sounds they heard from street musicians in their small Kenyan village, Mapacha Africa has successfully adapted these rhythms into their own mix of contemporary and traditional sound.
One of the most notable elements of Mapacha Africa's unique style is the use of a curious instrument called an adeudeu. The adeudeu, which really has no western equivalent, can be said to resemble a large boat-shaped harp, and is made from cow skin, wood and shoe strings. As one masters the instrument more and more strings can be added. One observer states that the sound that it produces is “better than the guitar”. It was this instrument, and the sense of community that it brought, that first inspired the founding members of Mapacha Africa. As the members narrate, it was common to see old men sitting and singing at the village square, an adeudeu between each pair of feet, all sharing a pot of traditional liquor.
While Mapacha Africa continued to perform in western Kenya for several years, their big break came in 2005 when they performed for Gatina Primary School in Nairobi's Kawangware area. In attendance at the event was world renowned athlete, and ambassador to the World Food Programme, Paul Tergat, who later introduced the group to Sarakasi Trust, a performing arts development organisation working toward building capacity in the arts sector in Kenya.
Working with Sarakasi Trust, the group created their first album in January 2006, entitled Angalia (meaning “Look” in Swahili). The group then went on to work with Sarakasi, performing at several festivals including the North Sea Jazz concert at Kasarani (Nairobi) in February 2006.
In March 2008, the group was invited to Holland by Mundial Productions to record their second album, Songa Yee with the band New Cool Collective. In May 2008, the group was invited back to Holland to perform at the Mundial Festival.
Mapacha group members include: Kassim Munyanya Erima, Donald Witila Mulongo, Shadrack Onyango, Isaac Sidika, John Aziz, Solomon Mwanish Kaiga, and Maurice Mala Otieno. They are now looking forwards to exposing more listeners worldwide to the adeudeu and traditional Kenyan music.

Nakupa hongera kocha Kostadin Papic wa Yanga kwa kubadilisha timu hiyo kiufundi na kuanza kucheza soka la hali ya juu tangu uichukue timu hiyo iliyokuwa ikicheza mpira na kushinda, kutoa droo ama kufungwa katika michezo yake mbalimbali lakini bila kuonyesha kiwango kizuri cha uchezaji wa mpira kama tunavyoona sasa baada ya kocha Papic kujiunga na Yanga akichukua mikoba ya kocha Kondic.

Ameonyesha kuwa ni mwalimu anayejua kusoma mchezo na kuwapa mbinu wachezaji wake ili kuweza kumkabili adui wakati wote wa mchezo hivyo kuiweka timu katika mchezo mzuri na kujituma katika kufanikisha ushindi.

Mashindano haya ya kombe la Tusker yaliyomalizika ambayo timu ya Yanga ndiyo iliyoibuka mabingwa jana yameonyesha dhahiri uwezo wa kocha huyo baada ya kutopoteza hata mchezo mmoja, huku wachezaji wakicheza kwa kuelewana karibu michezo yote mpaka kufikia fainali na hatimaye jana ukafanikiwa kuitoa timu ngumu ya Sofapaka kutoka Kenya ambayo watu wengi walikuwa wakitabiri kuwa huenda ndiyo ingechukua ubingwa wa kombe la Tusker mwaka huu 2009 baada ya timu ya Simba kufungwa na kutolewa pia na Timu ya Yanga huku ikiambilia nafasi ya tatu baada ya kuifunga Tusker ya Kenya

Kinachotakiwa sasa ni kwa uongozi wa Yanga kumpa nafasi na ushirikiano kocha Papic ili aweze kufanya kazi yake ya kufundisha timu vizuri kama alivyoianza na hatimaye tuanze mzunguko wa pili wa Ligi kuu ya Vodacom kwa upinzani wa kweli wa kisoka uwanjani Hongera sana kocha PAPIC.
