It wasnt easy for me to believe what i saw, the photo shows a boat full of passangers! my investigation revealed that, no one determines if the boat is full, no life jackets and any other stuff for protection if anything happens along the journey. This is lake Tanganyika, known to have deep waters. I dont know what SUMATRA could tell us about this.

Jamani, nimekuwa na maswali mengi kuhusu hili,tunasubiri ajali itokee ndio wahusika waamke? SUMATRA wako wapi?

Driving Upcountry8-Kurya Ngoma.

As I was driving along in one of the villages in Mara region I met a group of wananchi doing the Kurya dance, it was something me and my colleague enjoyed very much after a long drive fatigue. It refreshed our minds and hence we had a safe drive.

Sorry, whoever did the recording was not a professional, so the camera twisted here and there,yet u can get the sweet taste of the 'ngoma'.

Dar es salaam Roads-So Strange!

As I was driving along Morogoro Road, the car infront of me with registration number T297 ACS Toyota mark II I saw something so strange. As you can see in the photo, adjacent to the white Mark II is a pickup.On that material day, the passanger of the pickup threw a bottle of mineral water on the road(as usual), to my surprise the driver of Mark II T297 ACS picked the bottle and handed it over to the passanger of that pickup. I've never seen someone so environmental concious, that is something others should emulate.

(Jamani, niliona kitu cha kushangaza kidogo nikaona nishee nanyi. Nikiwa Morogoro road karibu na shule ya jangwani, abiria wa pick alitupa chupa ya maji barabarani baada ya kumaliza kunywa maji. ghafla dereva wa gari mark II iliyopo mbele yangu alitoka katika gari,akaokota hiyo chupa na kumrudishia jamaa aliyeitupa kwamba anachafua mazingira. Ni kitu kigeni kwa Tanzania. Lakini ni mfano wa kuigwa kuona tuna watu wanajali mazingira kiasi hicho. Pichani inaonekana hiyo Mark II yenye namba T297ACS na pickup inaonekana kulia kwake mbele kidogo.
