The burning body of a guy accused of stealing a motorcycle

In my posts I have been showing the impact of tuk tuk(motorcycle) accidents in the society but today's post is a bit different. It is a story I will never forget in my entire life.

It was around 9.00am I was heading to work then I saw a mob at Kimara staring at something burning. I had to slow down my car and parked somewhere so that I could see what was happening. I could not believe my eyes, i saw a guy being set ablaze as he was accused of stealing a tuktuk! But further follow-ups revealed that, the guy was not a thief, he was given a tuk tuk by the mechanic whom was repairing his!

This guy was wrongly accused by mob justice to be a thief! I will never forget what I saw. Really, seeing a human being burning, it is not for the faint-hearted.

Manyoni Dusty Road(Driving Upcountry)

This is a stretch of dusty road in Manyoni,singida region. I was told it is a stretch of about 60km on the Dodoma-Singida Road. Look at how the vehicles are negotiating their way and in a very high speed especially the buses. Really, it is not easy to avoid accidents in a situation like this. Hopefully, this stretch of dusty and bumpy road has been completed.

It is Scary not for the the faint-hearted!

As we celebrate New Year 2011, some of us have started this year with tragedies. Reckless driving, as usual, left some in hospital beds and others 'gone forever' (RIP).

In the photo above a victim of reckless driving of a tuk tuk(motorcycle) ending up with a badly injured arm. The photo has been taken at the Muhimbili Orthopaedic institute casualty. Please let us drive safely.

Let us wish them a quick recovery.

Jamani, tukiuanza mwaka mpya baadhi ya wenzetu wameishia hospitalini au hata kupoteza maisha kwa ajili ya uendeshaji wa uzembe. Tunawatakia ahueni ya haraka wale wote waliouanza mwaka kwa kupata ajali kama hii pichani.
