Tanzania na siku ya mashujaa

by blogger, james mwamongi... monGi

Kila tarehe 25 mwezi wa saba ya kila mwaka watanzania huwa pamoja kuwakumbuka mashujaa(heroes) wote walio wahi kushiriki vita dhini ya utumwa na aina zote za kutawaliwa, ikiwa katika kawaida hiyo ya Watanzania,
Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Amiri Jeshi Mkuu Mhe Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete Jumatatu tarehe 25/07/2011 anatarajiwa kuwa mgeni rasmi katika siku ya kumbukumbu ya Mashujaa itaayofanyika kitaifa Naliendele, Mtwara.

Kwa mujibu wa ratiba ya Maadhimisho iliyotolewa na Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, Mhe. Rais akiwa katika uwanja wa kumbukumbu ya mashujaa wa Naliendele, atawaongoza viongozi wenzake kuweka silaha za asili katika mnara wa mashujaa.



Ratiba hiyo inaonyesha kuwa Rais ataweka Mkuki na ngao, wakati Mkuu wa Majeshi ya Ulinzi na usalama ataweka sime. Kiongozi wa Mabalozi nchini ataweka shada la maua, Meya wa Manispaa ya Mtwara- Mikindani ataweka upinde na mishale na Mwenyekiti wa Tanzania Legion ataweka shoka.



Baada ya tukio hilo, kutakuwepo na sala kutoka kwa viongozi wa dini akiwemo Sheikh kwa niaba ya Waislam, Mchungaji kwa niaba ya C.C.T na Padre kwa niaba ya Roman Catholic.



Aidha gwaride la majeshi ya ulinzi na usalama litatoa heshima kwa Mhe. Rais na kupiga wimbo wa Taifa kabla ya Rais Kikwete kutembelea makaburi na nyumba ya makumbusho ya Naliendele.



Sherehe hizo zinazotarajiwa kuanza saa 3:00 asubuhi hadi saa 6:00 mchana.

Tumkumbuke pia shujaa na Amiri jeshi mkuu na wakwanza, baba wa Taifa Mwalim j.k Nyerere ambaye pia alisherehekea siku hii, ifuatayo ni moja ya hotuba zake katika kuwakumbuka mashujaa wetu...

Mapambano Yanaendelea 1979

Ndugu Wananchi,
Leo ni siku ya Mashujaa. Siku hii kila mwaka tunawakumbuka mashujaa wetu waliojitoa kupigana na wavamizi kutoka katika nchi za nje au wageni waliotaka kuitawala nchi yetu. Tunawakumbuka, kwa heshima, wale walio-pigana kuwazuia Wakoloni wasiitawale Tanzania, na waie waliopigana katika vita vya Maji Maji katika jitihada za kupinga utawala wa Kijerumani.

Wachache wao tuna-wafahamu, na majina yao tunayaheshimu: mashujaa kama Mkwawa, Mirambo, na Mputa. Lakini wengi wao hatuwafahamu kwa majina; ila tunafahamu tu ya kwamba waiipigana, na kufa, katika jitihada za kutetea uhuru wa nchi yetu. Tunawakumbuka na kuwaheshimu.

Leo tena tunawakumbuka mashujaa hao kwa fahari. Juhudi zao na vitendo vyao vilitutia moyo siku za nyuma na vinatutia moyo mpaka sasa. Hatutawasahau.

12:57PM BST 20 Jul 2011

Dear Colleagues,

Today, James and I appeared before a committee of the UK Parliament with regard to the issues connected to the News of the World. We did so to apologise, reiterate the Company's cooperation with the police and explain what we are doing to resolve these issues.

A copy of the news release we issued today is also attached to this note.

I was shocked and appalled by recent allegations concerning the News of the World and I am deeply sorry for the hurt that was caused.

And we have taken responsibility.
I have led this company for more than 50 years and have always imbued it with an audacious spirit.
But I have never tolerated the kind of behaviour that has been described over these past few weeks. It has no place at News Corporation.
These serious allegations made about some of our former employees at the News of the World directly contravene our codes of conduct and do not reflect the actions and beliefs of our many employees.
We are a company of more than 50,000 dedicated men and women who every day bring a deep passion and commitment to their jobs.
Our vibrant businesses lead their sectors and our future is strong. We are a great company that has set the pace and created much loved journalism, television and film for six decades and we will continue to do so for years to come.
In regard to the issues at News International, we are taking urgent steps to address the past and ensure that serious problems never happen again.
• The Company has created an independent Management & Standards Committee to determine new standards that will be clearly communicated and consistently enforced. The Committee is independently chaired by Lord Grabiner QC and has direct governance and oversight from News Corporation Board members, Joel Klein and Viet Dinh.
• The Company will continue to co-operate fully with the authorities wherever the investigations lead. Those who have betrayed our trust must be held accountable under the law. We also welcome and will cooperate with Parliamentary and Judicial inquiries.
• Last week we made the difficult but necessary decision to close the 168-year-old News of the World and we accepted the resignations of Rebekah Brooks and Les Hinton.
• These actions are all strong signals of the seriousness with which we are addressing allegations of past wrongdoing at the News of the World.
I want all of you to know that I have the utmost confidence that we will emerge a stronger company. It will take time for us to rebuild trust and confidence, but we are determined to live up to the expectations of our stockholders, customers, colleagues and partners.
We are determined to put things right.
Sincerely,
Rupert Murdoch

Fashion and Grooming Items to Steal from the Boys

While wearing menswear-inspired clothes can be a highly attractive look (see: Katharine Hepburn), what we're suggesting here is to try stuff marketed to men ONLY. Thinking outside the box is a great way to shop and create a unique, personal style. Tired of being pigeon-holed into a specific, too-delicate demographic that still idolizes "Sex and the City," and obsesses over flowers and hot pink? This trend is for you. Whether it's as simple as trying a new body scrub or as bold as wearing a chunky men's watch, it's fun to blur the gender lines.

                                         

FEELINGS FOR VODACOM MISS TANZANIA 2011-2012 ON HIGH AND FRESH VIBRATION

Questions, opinions, doubts and suggestions have started arising on who and how the miss Tanzania 2011-2012 will be on chair to speed up a race of  beauty with a purpose. Some have commented on the current miss Tanzania's performance during the race, On the Cool saying it was the finest in history joining the good reputation built up very few former of all the ladies in miss Tanzania's history


        The 2010-2011 Miss Tanzania and team.

people have started questioning on whether the coming miss Tanzania as a replacement  of the current Miss Tanzania, respectable Genevieve Emmanuel Mpangala,  will effectively take- over where Genevieve have left trying to bring back the dignity of the crown as it has been considered dirty by the majority for sometimes now.

The first ever, official Miss Tanzania Beauty contest was held in 1967 at the Kilimanjaro Hotel in Dar es Salaam, making Theresia Shayo the first to be crowned the Miss Tanzania thus holding the prestigious title.

Before that, in early 1960’s there were several beauty contests in different in parts of the country, but they did not capture public attention, nor did they reach national level.

After the first national contest which got a lot of public attention, the government banned the competition, in the same year on grounds that it was against the nations norms and culture.

In 1994, the government authorized the re-instatement of the beauty pageant, and the Miss Tanzania organizing committee, under Hashim Lundenga took the task of organizing the event.

Since 1994, when Aina Maeda won the title, to become the first ‘modern’ Miss Tanzania, the peagant has stand the test of time to be the most prestigious beauty contest in the country.

On top of the prestigious title the winners have always been given various expensive presents, including cars, cash prizes and off course the one and only chance to be Tanzanian ambassador in the Miss World pageant.

This year’s prize for the winner is a 53m/- Suzuki Grand Vitara, plus nine million cash prize, and off course, the winner must have won other great prizes in her zone and grassroots competition.

The establishment of the grassroots and zone levels of the competition was done to ensure that the competition has a more national look, and to make sure that every girl in the country is given the chance to throw her cards for the title.

So far Kinondoni zone has shown that it is the center of the beauty queens in the country since ifour of Miss Tanzania came from Kinondoni, making its contestants the most feared in the nationals.

On top of the expensive presents to the winners, holding the Miss Tanzania title has been a door opener to many girls participating in the event, many coming to hold important positions in different organizations.

For some they have secures different jobs, most holding public relations positions such as the 1994 first runner up, Tabasamu Ngongoseka, now known as Lucy Kiwele becoming a MultiChoice PRO while Shose Sinare become Head, Corporate Banking at Stanbic Bank Tanzania.

Moreover, it has also kick started other’s entrepreneurship activities, such as Irene Kiwia who was once Miss Temeke , and on Miss Tanzania’s top ten, has teamed up with 2005’s Miss Tanzania, running a national wide model search competition.

Miss Tanzania peagant has also proved to be the right place to begin modeling career, the most notable being Happiness ‘Millen’ Magesse, who is one of the top African models working in South Africa.



After years of trying in the Miss World and ending nowhere, the high time of the Miss Tanzania title came in 2005 when the beautiful Nancy Abraham Sumari, went on to become the first Miss World Africa, the glory that no other beauty queen has reached to date.

Miss Tanzania title holders also get involved in charity and social work for most of the time that the girl is the reigning queen. The most notable in charity activities being Hoyce Temu,Miss Tanzania 1999.

Jason Reeves Folks Up Nicki Minaj

"It was kinda like jumping off a cliff and seeing if I had a parachute in my back pocket" pop folkie Jason Reeves says of covering hip-hop queen Nicki Minaj's "Moment 4 Life" for this week's Mashup Monday.

But rather than plummeting like a stone and crashing, the midwestern singer/songwriter floats gracefully to earth with his acoustic cover of Minaj's hit 2011 ballad/rap, while still managing to retain its hip-hop flavor by transmuting her flow into a spoken word vibe.

"I did start out making hip-hop music in Iowa when I was in high school," avowed Minaj fan Reeves reveals. "Way before I ever learned how to play guitar [or] started writing songs, I was actually recording raps."

After his 2007 debut, "The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (And Other Frightening Tales), Reeves has notably co-written several songs with pop songstress Colbie Caillat. Watch him perform his latest single "Sticks And Stones" at Billboard's studios below
