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 Salaam

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.

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.
South Africa's president Jacob Zuma
President Zuma's time in office has been overshadowed by corruption allegations
The reported decision to "recall" him followed marathon talks by senior party officials that continued into the early hours of Tuesday.
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 zinaweka mikakati inayolenga kukomesha uzalishaji na matumizi ya dawa bandia na sizizo na viwango, tatizo kubwa linalorudisha nyuma maendeleo ya nchi za Africa.
Kaimu Mkurugenzi wa Mamlaka ya Chakula na Dawa (TFDA), Dr. Agnes Kijo, akiongeza wakati wa ufunguzi wa Mkutano wa Jukwaa la Kudhibiti Ubora wa Madawa Afrika (African Medicines Quality Forum-AMQF) jijini Dar es Salaam. 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.
