The First Lady, Mama Salma Kikwete, has admonished schoolgirls in Mara Region for provoking men’s lust for sex by  putting on indecent clothes.

Indecent clothes won by girl students attract men who end up impregnating them or have them contract sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/Aids, and losing their education dreams, she observed.

“Stop exposing your bodies in public because you will gain nothing but sorrows by attracting lustful men,” she told the schoolgirls. Read the rest of this entry »

Outspoken Kishapu MP Fred Mpendazoe yesterday quit the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) to join a newly established opposition outfit that some critics recently dismissed as a hoax.Announcing his decision to jump ship at the Information Centre (Maelezo) auditorium in Dar es Salaam, Mr Mpendazoe said he had reached the decision after considering a number of factors.

He said he strongly felt he no longer had confidence in the party on whose ticket he entered Parliament for the first time following the 2005 General Election.

 Members of the House of Representative have passed a bill to set the stage for a referendum in Zanzibar.    The bill was passed unanimously yesterday after two days of discussion, which was an indication that it would eventually be voted into law without a hitch.

The bill came out of the recent political development in the Isles, especially after the historical meeting in November last year of two political rivals, President Amani Abeid Karume of CCM and Civic United Front (CUF) secretary general Mr Seif Shariff Hamad.   Read the rest of this entry »

Uchunguzi huo unakwenda mbele zaidi na kubainisha kwamba, tabia za dawa hizo ambazo ni kujenga mwili na kuimarisha kinga ya magonjwa kwa mwathirika wa Virusi vya Ukimwi, ndiyo inayompata mlaji wa kuku hao.
