Wadau vita vyetu dhidi ya ufisadi lazima viendelee, hebu someni hii barua hapa chini. Mzungu analia kweli kweli Subject: FW: RE: MY NIGHTMARE IN TANZANIA Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 15:04:53 -0400 From: Ray Bergen To: Lisana Koliskowski Hello Lisa I am glad to be back in America after such a disastrous trip to Tanzania. The most important thing was getting back home safely and seeing my family. The only thing I can assure you is that, I will never set my foot in that country, and will advice anybody planning to visit Tanzania to refrain from doing so. The nightmare started at the airport, when my luggage checked in from Amsterdam disappeared mysteriously in Dar es Salaam. And my inquiry with the airport authorities was forwarded to the police. At the police station (Central) I was told that I could not get help unless I bribe them $500, because they needed the money for fuel and other necessary needs to investigate the theft. Supposedly the police officer did not open the case and turned me to be the criminal, constantly coming to my Hotel room, asking me for money. In short all my four year work was lost with the laptop at the Airport.
Came clearing the vehicle we were supposed to use in the research, from the agents to the customs authorities, the vehicle exceeded the actual cost. I would have paid $38,000 for a $16,000 vehicle. I could not bear being in such a corrupt country and decided to terminate my research, and left the vehicle uncleared after one month of struggle with the customs, who needed money after money and bogus letters. Supposedly these exuberant fees were not supposed to be there in the first place, because all registered NGO’s are supposed to be exempted from paying these taxes and fees, but then the deal had been cooked to rip Muzungu off. Being a Muzungu is being a cash cow in Tanzania. They don’t even fucken know that we are trying to help them. I pity the African continent and her people, I am glad they did not confuse me with Albino
Please advise any potential traveler to Tanzania to look for alternative country to visit, and if possible pass the message to the State Department as a warning to other Americans intending to visit this poor and corrupt country. I visited Botswana with my family in 2006. I tell you, could not be more satisfied with their politeness and straightforwardness, the same was in Mozambique where we received utmost hospitality. Please, be careful and only travel to Tanzania when there is need and not to visit and do not carry any valuable. As soon as you arrive, register with the American Embassy
Mjomba maneno na mikakati yako inaleta matumaini kuwa wazalendo na watetezi wa Tanzania na WaTanzania tupo wengi Ushauri wangu mjomba, ni vizuri ukaoorodhesha vyombo unavyohitaji kuwa navyo ktk bendi yako ili kila mtu ajaribu kuchagua kile atakachoweza kukusaidia.Unajua huku nchi za watu vyombo vipo na bei yake ipo chini kiasi, hivyo tunaweza jipigapiga mjomba kukuwezesha. Wito wangu kwa wadau wote tumsaidie mjomba ili afikishe vizuri ujumbe kwa zeMJOMBAz.
Mjomba Mrisho, mawazo yako ni mazuri tena sana. Ninakupa hongera. Kama unaona maadali yetu yamepungua ningekushauri kazi yao uiweke katika haya: (1) Lugha yetu (2) Mavazi yetu (3) Kuishi na kula kwetu (4) Na mengine mengi ambayo siyaoni kwa karibu.
Mimi nipo tayari kukupatia jeki ili tulinde maadali tuliyoachiwa na mababu zetu. Maadali yetu yanaporomoka. Ukienda China, Ukienda Nigeria, Ukienda Bukoba utakuta watu wanakumbatia maadali yao, ikiwa ni pamoja na kujivunia lugha yao na mavazi yao pia. Lakini sisi watanzania, ukitoka tu ukaenda hapo zambia (mambo yako yote utaiga ya wazambia, yawe mema au mabaya.
Mjomba mrisho, nakupa alama A+ kwa sasa, lakini kwanza nipigie simu basi tuongee ili tusogeze mbele hilo gurudumu la maendeleo uliloanzisha. namba yangu ni 999 (au 911?).
Mini nashangaa wazungu wanawanea huruma watanzania, kwani wenyewe kwa wenyewe hawaoneani huruma. Fikiria mzungu kaenda kusaidia nini kilichomfika, yaani wanafaa waachwe na misaada wasipewe. Ukiwa unafuatilia kitu kwenye ofisi yoyote ndio utakapojua hakina kilicho - straight kote rushwa tu. Mdau.
Mjomba hongera you are a true visionary, tatizo Tanzania ya leo imemezwa katika Globalisation kiasi kwamba ideas kama za kwako ni taabu kuona mwanga, mfano ukitembea miji kama Lagos ama Cairo na utaona waziwazi kuwa waafrika wenzetu wanapreserve culture yao na wanaithamini lakini ukija Dar utaweza ukachanganyikiwa na kufikiri upo ulaya watu hususan vijana wamepoteza utamaduni wao na mwelekeo kabisa, MTV generation. Tatizo mjomba mengi unayoyaongea kwa mfano migodi wanasiasa walio madarakani hawayapendi na kibongobongo ni vigumu kupata sapoti ya mapromota kama hujapata baraka za wanasiasa. Anyway keep it up, it's a good start na hongera kuwapata wasanii wa Bongo flava tunakuombea wasikukimbie, maana kule Bongoflava wakiimba mapenzimapenzi wanagaiwa ulabu wa bure na lift ya kwenda nyumbani wameridhika. Sasa wewe kwako hawapatimitungi na milupo ya bure mmh! kazi unayo kuwalinda.
Mjomba Mrisho, nyimbo na ngonjera zako zimulike watu wetu ili wajenge jamii iliyojengeka imara. Nimependa nukuu za Sai Baba ambazo unaweza kuzifikiria wakati unapanga mipango yako ya kuwaambia au kutuambia kwamba tuishi kama jamii iliyoneemeka kwa maadili.
