Idol, the phenomenon continues on dstv American!!

March 2009
The eighth season of the incredibly successful series American Idol starts on M-Net Series from March 4 at 19:00 CAT. DStv audiences are invited to watch as new talent is unearthed and a new American Idol given the chance of a lifetime.
Since the shows’ inception in 2002 the music industry globally has seen a spike in record sales, new talent signings and reality television series. Considered a benchmark when it comes to reality TV, American Idol, unlike most shows, uses the public’s vote to determine the winner of the competition.
The show seeks to discover the best singer in the country through a series of auditions that are hosted throughout the U.S. The judges critique the contestants’ performances and the judging panel consists of music mogul Simon Cowell, legendary producer Randy Jackson, and pop icon Paula Abdul. Season 8 will also see the addition of a new judge, singer/songwriter Kara DioGuardi. At the heart of the show is host Ryan Seacrest the hardest working man in entertainment.
Since its debut American Idol has become one of America’s top rated shows. Season 1’s American Idol was Kelly Clarkson who is a pop rock singer, writer and actress. Since her debut on Idols Clarkson became an overnight success with her first three albums selling 9.5 million copies in the U.S and in 2008 she joined VH1’s list of sexiest women of the new millennium. She has also been named among the Top 30 Hottest Rock Front Women.
Using the opportunity to their advantage, it is not only winners that have made a name for themselves; American Idol has also made famous a lot of its other finalists. In season 3, Fantasia Barrino won but Jennifer Hudson, who was a top 10 finalist, has since stolen the spotlight. Hudson co-starred alongside Beyonce Knowles and Eddy Murphy in the runaway hit musical, Dreamgirls, and captured the hearts of audiences, taking Best Supporting Actress in the BAFTA Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and the coveted Oscar Awards in 2006. She released a multi-platinum selling album in 2008 and had a defining moment last month when she took home the Grammy Award for the Best R’n B Album.
Another alumnus that eclipsed the winner was popular rock musician Chris Daughtry in 2006. Showing the makings of an icon, the season 5 finalist went on to record an album which has since earned him a Grammy nomination. His fourth place finish in AMERICAN IDOL earned him a record deal with RCA Records. The record company realized how good an investment they made when the band’s self-titled album sold more than 1 million copies after 5 weeks of release, it went on to become the fastest selling rock album in history and in its ninth week of release, the album reached number one on the BillBoard Charts.
Other winners of the show that have impressed audiences world-wide include big hearted Ruben Studdard in season 2, country crooner Carrie Underwood in season 4, hit sensation Taylor Hicks in season 5 and R’ n B songstress Jordin Sparks in season 6. Spark’s self titled album was certified platinum in 2008, bringing her on par with her predecessors Clarkson and Underwood in terms of success.The winner of season 7, David Cook was announced on May 21 2008. He won the title with a record breaking 56% of the 97.5 million voters. Known for his rock-oriented cover versions which he arranged himself, Cook became the first rocker to win the show.
DStv audiences are invited to tune in as the dreams of hopefuls stand a chance of being fulfilled as M-Net Series screens American Idol from March 4 at 19:00 CAT.

African Leaders’ State of Africa Report 2008 Highlights

Governance

In a context of global crisis two words define the political situation of the countries feature in this year’s report – change and resilience.
The unity government in Kenya has proven to be the solution to last year’s selection crisis, which encapsulates change. That Kenya remains on the list of Africa’s viable democracies is reflection of resilience.
In his contribution to this year’s State of Africa Report, Ghanaian President John Kufour wrote confidentially of country about to enter its fifth cycle of Presidential elections. That confidence has been borne out in another peaceful transition of power in Ghana.
Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete reflects on the challenges of managing the union of Zanzibar and the Republic, while equally confident that the spirit of umoja (unity) that has characterized this union from the beginning will define that relationship into the future.

In his letter to the nation, South African President Kgalema Motlanthe assures the nation that despite the unanticipated change in leadership, south Africa’s democracy is alive and well, in both in spirit and constitutionally.
In his last contribution to the African Leaders’ State of Africa Report, the late Levi Mwanawasa, President of Zambia, offered a fitting summary to where the continent is politically and economically. His insight proves to be a fitting epitaph for one of Africa’s most capable leaders. He wrote, “even where progress is modest, we must still recognize it because it signals that, at least for now, the worst may be over if we continue to make the progress that we have been making.”

TOUR OPERATORS REPORT BOOM IN TANZANIA BOOKINGS BUSINESS FROM U.S BRISK AND PREDICTED TO GROW!!.

The year 2009 is ushering in brisk business for tour operators booking safaris to Tanzania, the largest country in east Africa .

Peter Mwenguo, Managing Director, Tanzania Tourist Board, concludes “in a year when people are conscious about cost / value, Tanzania offers an excellent travel experience where the dollar buys much more than is available in other countries. America is Tanzania’s number one source for tourism and we are encouraged by the positive feedback we have received that this growth will continue even during a challenging economic climate.”

Jo Bertone, USA Director of Naipenda Safaris, has seen no evidence of a travel slowdown when it comes to Tanzania. “While the media was filled with doom and gloom for the past few months about the U.S economy in general, she says, “right after the elections and the holidays we resumed normal-if not higher-quote requests on booking to Tanzania. People see that the sky isn’t falling, they know that Tanzania is a beautiful and peaceful country (we have never had a problem in any part of Tanzania),and they’re ready again for a good travel experience.’’

In fact, in an article written for USA Today (U.S is the highest circulation national daily newspaper) In December,2008,Marc noting Africa Adventure Company cites Tanzania as ‘’One of the Top Two Safari destinations in the World.’’ He added ‘’Business the first two weeks of the New Year has been GREAT”.

Kenneth Herbert, founder and president of New York based 2aAfrica,as a guest on voice of America(January 12)told listeners that “the price structure in Tanzania now, combined with its beauty, make it the must-go-to destination this year .Take advantage of its good deals while you can!”. At his company, ’’Tanzania is without question my best seller at the moment. I am turning them out a dime a dozen.’ He adds that “Tanzania still remains so popular that Arthur
Framer’s budget Travel Magazine is running it AGAIN in the March issue under the the 40 BEST DEALS.’’

In a Steinhiler, Director of sales and Marketing, at the Boston-based Thompson safaris, notes that their sales of safari packages to Tanzania are also brisk. “No one is canceling or postponing for economic reasons. Were more than pleased,’’ s he comments. “People aren’t putting their lives on hold.’’

At safari ventures based in Florida, Rumit Mehta, Director of Business Development in New York City, feels that many Americans are fulfilling a dream in keeping and/or creating travel plans to Tanzania. ’’In the last five or so years, safari Ventures has seen a steady growth of clients from business schools and universities who are interested in the intellectual and cultural heritage of Tanzania. There are more than enough value-added hotels, safaris and other attractions to keep them booking this.’’
Lynn Newby-Fraser of Africa Dream Safaris says “Despite the economic gloom there still seems to be people who are looking for a trip-of-a-lifetime and interestingly they’re looking to Tanzania for the experience. Our bookings for the 1st week of January 2009 are double what they were in 2008 and our website traffic is also up substantially. I think that people are beginning to recognize that the Serengeti is not only the undisputed champion for wildlife viewing and that the overall quality of safari available to them in Tanzania is nothing short of superb. I think that people just need to look at the 2009 Worlds’ Best Safari Outfitters as voted by National
Geographic Adventures, and see that three of the top ten Outfitters-Africa Dream Safaris being one-focus specifically on Tanzania. That’s a high percentage and says a lot about what the country and its operators have to offer tourists!’’

Kent Redding of Adventures in Africa state “I think bookings are starting to pick up in 2009.From our standpoint, we are cautiously optimistic that I’ve hired a Director of sales and Marketing, and am increasing marketing activities such as the New York Times Travel Show, and more.’’

Amant Macha Director of Marketing Tanzania tourist Board, confirms that they expect to hold and/or increase market share in 2009 as a result of “the increase in hi-end accommodations to meet the demand of the luxury travel segment and improved air access combined with ongoing advertising on CNN and other U.S. media.’’

USS Bradley to Visit Tanzania-Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Mitchell.

From Right Lt. Col. Timoth Mitchel Us Defense Attache,Larry E. Andre Jr. Charge d' Affaires and Jeffrey A. Salaiz First Secretary Public Affairs

First, I’d like to say that during my first month living in your beautiful country-almost 18 months ago in Sept 2007- I sat before a similar audience and discussed the first ever U.S ship visit to Tanzania – the visit of USS Forrest Sherman. It’s now with great pride that I have the honor to once again speak to you about a U.S. naval ship visit to Tanzania.

As the Charg’e mentioned, USS Robert G. Bradley’s visit to Tanzania demonstrates the U.S commitment to African maritime safety and security. The USS Bradley is coming to Tanzania after spending a week in Mozambique. After spending a week or so in Dar es Salaam, the ship will travel on to Kenya and later to Djibouti. During its port stops USS Robert G. Bradley will focus on building cooperative partnerships with regional maritime services to achieve common international goals such as stability and security along the African coast.

In numerous recent conferences on sea power and maritime concerns-including one that took place here in Tanzania in April 2008-our partner nations in Africa expressed a need and desire for improved maritime safety and security. The visit of USS Robert G. Bradley represents a step by the U.S. to respond to this request for assistance in dealing with maritime challenges such as unlawful fishing, piracy and illegal trafficking.

During its stay in Dar es salaam the crew of USS Robert G. Bradley will engage in both training and social events with the TPDF navy. The training will consist of four days of specific skills training with TPDF sailors. The training will be conducted both on USS Robert G. Bradley and in a classroom environment, and will cover areas such as visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) training, small boat operations and maintenance, damage control procedures and naval watch officer training. The intent is that working and training alongside partner nation civil and military services will improve interoperability while providing opportunities to build critical personal relationships across borders and services. It is important to emphasize that while the ship visit imparts expertise to east Africa partner nations to improve professional maritime knowledge and skills, it is a two-way exchange of expertise-our naval personnel will also learn from their Tanzania counterparts.
Other than training, while in port the ship will host an on-board evening reception and will host several ship tours for TPDF personnel, diplomats, and Tanzanian government officials and local businessmen. The crew will also participate in a social event at the TPDF Naval base and will participate in both football (soccer) and basketball sporting events with the TPDF. The crew will also provide some refurbishment and maintenance at a local orphanage. Finally, a U.S Navy band will perform concerts at several venues to include local schools, an orphanage, restaurants and the Dar es salaam Yacht Club.
In closing, I’ d like to add that from my perspective one of the most important aspects of the ship visit is that it provides over 200 U.S. sailors the opportunity to experience what I experience on a daily basis-the beauty of the Tanzanian country and the warmth and hospitality of the Tanzania people. Thank you
