Baada ya kuwezeshwa, wakazi wa Temeke waunda vikundi kutunza mazingira
Na Mwandishi Wetu
WAKAZI wa Temeke wamehamasika na kuamua kuunda
vikundi vya usafi wa mazingira, ‘Usafi Clubs’, ikiwa ni moja ya matunda ya
mradi wa kuwawezesha wakazi wa mijini, ‘Urban Legal Empowerment’ unaolenga kusaidia jamii ya watanzania kupata haki zao za
kuishi katika mazingira salama na safi, haki
za kiuchumi na za kijamii.
Kupitia mradi huu, unaotekelezwa na shirika la LEAT kwa ufadhili
wa LSF, wakazi wa Temeke pamoja na kata zake, viongozi wa serikali za mitaa na jamii kwa
ujumla wamehamashishwa kutunza mazingira katika maeneo wanayoishi au kufanyia shughuli zao za kila siku.
“Kama sehemu ya utekelezaji
wa mradi huu, LEAT tumetoa elimu kwa wananchi, viongozi wa kata, madiwani, na wanafunzi, kuhusu sheria za
mazingira, kanuni, na namna gani elimu hii itakavyowezesha
wananchi kutunza na kuboresha mazingira yao,” amesema Bi. Glory Kilawe, Mratibu
wa mradi kutoka LEAT.
Baada ya kupata elimu, wakazi
wa Temeke wameunda vikundi vya mazingira, maarufu kama “Usafi Clubs”—ambavyo vinatumika kama vyombo vya
kuhamasisha usafi wa mazingira katika maeneo mbalimbali wilayani Temeke.
“Tunawashukuru LEAT kutupatia elimu hii
nzuri ya mazingira, kujua sheria na taratibu mbalimbali zinazohusu mazingira,”
anasema mmoja wa wakazi wa
Temeke, Hassan Juma, katika kikao maalum cha kutathmini utekelezaji wa mradi wa
LEAT wilayani humo.
Hemed Pazi, Mwenyekiti wa
Kituo cha Wasaidizi wa Kisheria-Temeke (Temeke Paralegal Centre), anasema wamefanikiwa kuunda
vikundi (Usafi Clubs) vinne—viwili viko kata ya Mbagala and 2 kata ya
Mianzini–kama sehemu ya utekelezaji wa mradi huo.
“Kinachotufurahisha zaidi ni
kwamba hata viongozi wa serikali za mitaa ni sehemu ya vikundi ni wajumbe wa
Usafi Clubs. Hii inatia moyo, kwa sababu uwepo wa viongozi hawa unafanya vikundi hivi viaminike kwa jamii, na kuongeza
ufanisi katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake,” kwa mujibu wa Pazi.
Diwani wa Kata ya Mianzini,
Abdallah Kipende amesema elimu inayotolewa na Usafi Clubs mitaani imebadilisha
tabia na mitazamo ya wakazi wengi kuhusu maswala ya mazingira, hata kuwawezesha
kununua vyombo na mapipa ya taka kwa ajili ya majumbani na mitaani,
kuacha kabisa tabia ya kutupa taka ovyo, kama walivyozoea siku za nyuma.
“Sasa hivi, jamii ya
Temeke iko makini sana katika maswala ya mazingira; kila mtu sasa anajua usafi
wa mazingira maana yake nini. Kama kuna mtu (leo hii) anataka kujenga kiwanda
au kuleta uwekezaji wowote Temeke,
lazima ajiandae kujibu maswali magumu ya wananchi kama vile ‘mbinu gani atakazotumia
kutunza na kulinda mazingira’,”
alisema Kipende.
Mbali na kuwezesha uundaji wa
vikundi vya mazingira, LEAT imesaidia kutatua migororo ya mazingira 19,
kuelimisha wanafunzi zaidi ya 600, kusambaza machapisho mbalimbali yanayohusu
mazingira kwa jamii, kuandaa midahalo na vipindi maalum vya television na radio
–kujadili maswala ya mazingira—kama sehemu ya utekelezaji wa mradi wa Urban
Legal Empowerment katika
wilaya
ya Temeke.
Mradi huu umebuniwa na
kufadhiliwa na shirika la Legal Services Facility (LSF) na lengo kuu la mradi huu ni kuwezesha watanzania waishio mijini, hasa wasiojiweza kifedha, katika maswala mbalimbali ya kisheria,
kijamii na kiuchumi.
Legal Services
Facility (LSF) imeyawezesha mashirika sita yasiyokuwa ya kiserikali kwa ajili
ya utekelezaji wa mradi wa ‘Urban Legal Empowerment’ katika maeneo mbalimbali ya jiji la Dar es SalaamEmpowered Temeke residents establish environmental-protection groups
Temeke residents have set up several environmental groups, dubbed “Usafi
Clubs” as part of a urban legal empowerment project, which gears at sensitizing
and empowering local communities to clean up their environment, among other
things.
Urban legal empowerment project is a brainchild of the Legal Services
Facility (LSF)—a basket funding mechanism, which provide grants to legal aid
organizations involved in the implementation of paralegal and related projects
across the country. More than 50 legal aid organizations have already benefited
from LSF funding since its inception in 2011.
Among other things, urban legal empowerment intends to empower urban
dwellers and enable them to access their social and economic rights—including
access to safe water, education, health services, clean environment, and other
social and economic rights.
Lawyers Environmental Action Team (LEAT)—is one of six legal aid
organizations which received LSF funding for the implementation of urban legal
empowerment project in different parts of Dar es Salaam. Basically, LEAT
focused on environmental-related issues—educating/training local communities,
paralegals, paralegal units, local executives on the importance of cleaning up
their environment, exposing them to environmental and hygienic laws, rules and
regulations and other related matters in Temeke District.
The knowledge acquired from LEAT trainings, encouraged Temeke residents
to establish their own environmental groups, popularly known as “Usafi Clubs”
–an instrument which is used to sensitize and mobilize people, local
authorities and leaders, investors to clean their environment—from the streets
up to the district levels.
“We thank LSF on one hand, and LEAT on the other…we thank LSF because it
supported LEAT to give us such good education on environment, laws and
regulations. Thanks to the two of them,” said one Temeke resident, Hassan Juma,
at a special session organized by LEAT to review implementation of a one-year
pilot project.
“It’s because of their support, now we have Usafi Clubs in
place…everybody is eager to join to these clubs,” added Juma as recalls
successes registered in the implementation of the project.
Hemed Pazi, Chairman of Temeke Paralegal Centre, said four Usafi Clubs
have been formed –2 clubs in Mbagala Ward and 2 in Mianzini Ward –in the
context of project implementation, which also involved paralegals.
Interesting part of the story is that local government executives are
“part and parcel of these clubs…they are members of the clubs” according to
Pazi, noting that “involvement of local leaders increased public trust and
confidence on the clubs, thus making them more effective.”
Mianzini Ward Councilor, Abdallah Kipende said door-to-door
environmental knowledge spread by Usafi Clubs has significantly changed
altitudes and behaviour of Temeke residents, enabling them to set up dust-bins
and tanks across the streets, stopped littering the environment, as they used
to do in the past.
“In fact, the entire Temeke community is now sensitive about
environmental issues; many people are aware of their environmental rights.
Today, if somebody wants to put up industries or any large-scale investment in
the district should get prepared for tough questions from communities on
strategies they would employ to protect the environment,” says Kipende.
Besides establishment of Usafi Clubs, according to Ms. Glory Kilawe,
LEAT official-in-charge of the project, said 19 environmental cases were
resolved, over 600 students received environmental education, several educative
materials distributed to communities, special television and radio programmes
were aired, public dialogues organized on the subject—as part of urban legal
empowerment pilot project in Temeke district.
In the wake of increasing number of urban poor
needing legal assistance in different parts of the country, LSF came
up with urban legal empowerment—a new and strategic model which
guides paralegals and legal aid organizations on how to assist urban dwellers
to access their social and economic rights.
Wachezaji kumi wakorofi waliopata kutokea kwenye historia ya mpira
Watu wengi wanaweza wasinielewe endapo jina la Mchezaji na nahodha wa zamani wa klabu ya Manchester United kama halitakuwa la kwanza katika orodha hii.
1.Roy Kean- Republic of Ireland
 |
| The Irish midfielder even went to the extent of ending Alf Inge Haaland's career as a result of an ongoing altercation. |
2. Pepe- Ureno
 |
| Pepe has a notorious name for himself in La Liga, having spent the last seven years kicking ankles whilst defending the Real Madrid goal. |
3. Mario Balotelli- Italia
 |
| Mario Balotelli is simply failing to mature. The Italian striker continues to act like a petulant child when things don't go his way and that has seen him get into a lot of trouble both on and off the pitch. |
4.Zinedine Zidane
 |
| Zinedine Zidane's headbutt to Marco Materazzi, which earned the Frenchman a red card in the 2006 World Cup final |
5. Joey Barton- England
 |
| The notorious midfielder has played for four different Premier League clubs, as well as short stints in France and Scotland with Marseille and Rangers respectively, and he has managed to raise a storm at each and every team he's featured at. |
6. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
 |
| Zlatan is not one to be messed with, just ask Rafael van der Vaart, Mido, Antonio Cassano, Oguchi Onyewu, Pep Guardiola, Salvatore Aronica, Rodney Strasser, Stephane Ruffier, Andres Guardado and Christian Wilhelmsson. |
7. El Hadji Diouf
 |
| Another one with an entire category on his Wikipedia page dedicated to "controversies", the former Senegalese international seemed to have an obsession with spitting after being caught doing so against opposing players and opposing fans!! |
8. Patrick Vieria
 |
| Arsenal fans still miss Patrick Vieira. The former captain at Highbury was a ruthless midfielder and often dominated games due to his sheer physique, yet, he was also known for having a terribly short fuse which led to the Frenchman often having to explain his actions to the FA. |
9.Gennaro Gattuso
 |
| Which club captain would dare to grab former hard man Joe Jordan by the throat? Gennaro Gattuso, that's who. The former AC Milan stalwart took on Spurs' assistant manager at the time after the Rossoneri were defeated 1-0 at home in the Champions League. |

South Africa: ANC 'decides Zuma must go'
South Africa's ruling African
National Congress (ANC) has formally asked President Jacob Zuma to
resign after he refused to do so earlier, reports say.
 |
| President Zuma's time in office has been overshadowed by corruption allegations |
If Mr Zuma, 75, still does not budge, he will face a vote of confidence in parliament that he is expected to lose.
In power since 2009, he has been dogged by corruption allegations.
The ANC has not officially confirmed its plans but party sources have described them to South African media outlets and Reuters news agency.
Mr Zuma has resisted increasing pressure to quit since December, when Cyril Ramaphosa replaced him as leader of the ANC.
ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule delivered a letter to the embattled president at his official residence in the capital, Pretoria, officially informing him of the party's decision to "recall" him at a meeting of its top leadership body, the national executive committee (NEC), reports say.
It is unclear how Mr Zuma responded, and his office has not yet commented.
Earlier, Mr Ramaphosa left the meeting of the ANC's NEC to travel to Mr Zuma's residence, where he is said to have told the president he would be "recalled" if he did not step down. He later returned to the ANC conclave.

Nchi za Afrika zaweka mikakati kukomesha uzalishaji na matumizi ya dawa bandia
Nchi za Afrika zinaweka mikakati inayolenga
kukomesha uzalishaji na matumizi ya dawa bandia na sizizo na viwango, tatizo
kubwa linalorudisha nyuma maendeleo ya nchi za Africa.

Aliyekaa katika ni Naibu Waziri wa Afya, Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia, Wazee na Watoto, Dr. Faustine Ndungulile, na Mwakilishi wa Shirika la Maendeleo Afrika (NEPAD), Margareth Ndomondo—wadau walijadili mbinu za kukomesha uzalishaji na usambaji wa dawa bandia na zisizo na viwango—mkutano uliandaliwa na NEPAD, The United States Pharmacopeia convention (USP), Mamlaka ya Chakula na Dawa (TFDA), |
“Lengo letu kuu ni kuhakikisha ubora wa dawa
zinazotumiwa na waafrika,” amesema Naibu Waziri wa Afya, Maendeleo ya Jamii,
Jinsia, Wazee na Watoto, Dr. Faustine Ndungulile, wakati wa ufunguzi wa Mkutano
wa Jukwaa la Kudhibiti Ubora wa Madawa Afrika (African Medicines Quality Forum—AMQF). Kongamano hili limeandaliwa na Shirika la
Maendeleo Afrika (NEPAD), The United States Pharmacopeia convention (USP), Mamlaka
ya Chakula na Dawa (TFDA),
Kwa mujibu wa Waziri Ndungulile, dawa bandia na
sizizo na viwango ni tatizo kubwa barani Afrika, linalohitaji mikakati
madhubuti, na kusisitiza kuwa Afrika mikakati haiwezi kufanikiwa bila
ushiriakiano wa wadau wote.
“Dawa bandia na sizizo na viwango zinagharimu pesa
nyingi nchi za Afrika. Kuna watu wanakufa kwa ajili ya dawa hizi, pia kuna watu
walazimika kutumia dawa nyingine za ziada. Zote hizi ni gharama kwa mwananchi
mmoja mmoja na Serikali zetu kwa ujumla,” amesema Waziri Ndungulile.
Kama njia ya kudhibiti
ongezeko la madawa bandia na sisizo na viwango, nchi za Afrika sasa hivi
zinaweka mpango mkakati wa pamoja unaolenga kudhibiti usambaji na matumizi wa
dawa bandia. Ameutaka Mkakati
huo kama AMQF—jukwaa jipya la Africa lengo lake kuu ni kuweka mikakati mipana itakayotatua
matatizo na changamoto zinazotokanazo na madawa yenye ubora hafifu
yanayosambazwa kwa matumizi barani Afrika.
Kuanza kwa Jukwaa la AMQF kunakuja wakati kukiwa na ongezeko kubwa la
matumizi ya madawa bandia na yasiyo na kiwango, yaliyokwisha muda wake katika
sehemu mbalimbali barani Afrika, ikiwemo Tanzania.
Kwa mujibu wa
shirika la afya duniani yaani ‘WHO’ asilimia 42 ya taarifa zinahusu madawa
bandia na madawa yaliyokwisha muda wake, huripotiwa katika nchi za Afrika.
“Kupitia jukwaa
hili matatizo ya ubora ya madawa yatashughulikiwa kikamilifu na hatimae
kukomesha kabisa uzalishaji na usambazaji wa madawa bandia na zisizo na viwango
katika masoko ya Afrika,” amesema Waziri.
Kwa mujibu wa Waziri Tanzania Tanzania ni moja ya
nchini iliyofanikiwa kwa kiasi kikubwa katika udhibiti wa dawa bandia, jambo
lilosababisha “Mkutano huu ufanyike hapa kwetu ili nchi zingine za Afrika
zipate nafasi ya kujifunza kutoka kwetu.”
Aliongeza kwamba Tanzania imeweza kujitosheleza kwa
dawa za kutosha na zenye viwango vya kimataifa na changamoto kubwa ilikuwa na
kudhibiti dawa zinazoingia kwa njia ya panya ambapo tayari mamlaka husika
(TFDA) imeanza kushughulikia, kwa
kufungua ofisi za kanda zinazolenga kupunguza mianya ya dawa zinazoingia kwa
njia ya panya.
Kwa upande wake, Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Mamlaka ya
Chakula na Dawa (TFDA), Bi Agnes Kijo alisema “Tanzania ina mahabara ya kisasa,
zilizosambaa sehemu mbalimbali nchini…yote haya ni kuhakikisha ubora na viwango
vya dawa zinazosambazwa katika masoko yetu na kutumiwa na watu.”
“Katika mkutano huu jambo kuu litakuwa na kwa namna
ngani tunaweza kudhibiti dawa bandia kwenye masoko na kuhakikisha kwamba
wazalishaji pia wanatoa dawa zenye ubora unaokubalika katika soko,” alisisitiza
Bi Kijo.
Mkuu wa Mipango wa NEPAD, Margareth Ndomondo,
amesema “Mamlaka za uthibiti lazima zitengeneze mifumo ya pamoja ikayosaidia
kudhibiti usambazaji na matumizi katika nchi za Afrika kwa urahisi.”
Mkutano huo imekutanisha
washiriki kutoka nchi 18 za Afrika –ikiwa ni pamoja na Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Uganda,
Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Cameron, Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania,
Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Guinea, and South Africa pamoja na mawakala
barani Afrika kama vile Wakala wa Afya Afrika Magharibi (WAHO) na wafadhili wa
maendeleo kama vile Shirika la Afya duniani yaani WHO, Shikla la misaada la
Marekani yaani USAID pamoja na Benki ya Dunia.
