Robbery in the name of wrong car parking...
Mr. Michuzi please inform wadau that there is a new style of robbery in the city of Dar es salaam nowadays.

Today, Thursday 18th February at around 14.45 HRS I parked my car in front of the NBC (Corporate Business Centre) Branch at Old Post Office. I made sure it was properly parked before entering for the bank.
At the garden there were some people sitting on the terraces in jobless manner watching movement of people.
My car has tinted windows that make it difficult for someone to peep inside. As I walked to the Bank I was carrying a rucksack/piggy pack type and one would have thought that I was on big money business, either to deposit or withdraw.
I emerged from the bank at around 15.15 HRS, crossed to may car. As I used my remote switch to unlock the car, immediately I was confronted by two men, a young man wearing a long sleeve white shirt and black trousers and a short -framed masculine guy –a typical bouncer.
The young guy secretly showed me his identical card , which resembled the Municipal ones – it with coconut tree drawing ….
He said “Muheshimiwa umepaki gari vibaya, lakini hatujaitia mnyororo kwa kuamini wewe ni muungwana” that Honorable, you have wrongly packed your car but we have not lock-chained it trusting your are a gentle man.
As he was saying this the bouncer (wearing a blue T-shir + black trousers) was behind him trying to prevent me from entering the car. I became irritated and my blood rushed as this was not my first encounter with Dar conmen.
I immediately slammed the door in Arnold Schwarzenegger style almost crashing the young man’s hand inside yelling to them ”***” .
To my surprise the guys walked away swiftly and disappeared in the thing air. This was undoubtfuly a risk moment to my property and me. They could have forced themselves inside the car order me to go to their non existed office and consequently rob me of money and car or harm me.

Therefore I wish to caution wadau to be careful of such people. Never let strangers into your car even in the name of security men or being questioned with people who are not in uniforms.
Also, make sure people in you surroundings understand what is happening to you before you give in. Police force and law enforcers should make sure no people are loitering in the street.
Get ride conmen and robbers from the city. Bank guards should scrutinize your surroundings , give your customers an eye escort when in your vicinity.

  4. Tahadhari yako ni nzuri sana bro kwani vibaka nao wanabuni mbinu mpya kilasiku. Sasa unaonaje taarifa hii ungeiandika kisukuma ili na ndugu zetu wanaotoka Mwanza,Shinyanga na Tabora wakakusikia maana kule shule zinazofundisha lugha uliyoitumia hazijawa nyingi sana kiasi cha wengi kukuelewa sawasawa, kule shule nyingi ni St.Government na St.Bodi ya wakulima wa Pamba.

  7. Ahsante sana kwa taarifa yako ni nzuri na inatuelimisha jinsi hali ilivyo. LKN SOLUTION ULIYOTUMIA WEWE HAIWEZI KUFANYA KAZI KWA KILA MTU. Sasa wana jamii tujiulize ni vipi kuikabili hali kama hiyo kikamilifu?
    Yaani ikome istokee tena na watuogope sisi tupendao amani. Naomba mchangie hilo na wenye kukutwa na hali za utata kama hizi msongoje aseme mtu na wewe udandie. Toa ripoti mapema ili iwe tahadhari.

    WENU MKUFUNZI.

  8. mimi ni mdada,pia ilinitokea pale Barabara ya Ohio movenpick nje upande wa pili wa Bank ya Barclays ,nimetoka zangu Bank,basi wakanifuata wakaka wawili wakati tu nimefungua mlango wa Gari,mmoja akanionesha kitambulisho kuwa yeye ni Askari wa jiji na kuniambia nimepaki gari pasipo,cha kushangaza mbele na nyuma yangu kulikuwa na magari mengi yamepaki kwa nini langu walichague,mimi nikamuambia hauna uniform siwezi kukuruhusu kuingia kwenye gari,sasa mmoja anataka kushika funguo yangu ya gari,na mlango,nikaanza kusema kwa nguzu na uoga,kuwa nyinyi wezi niacheni,nyinyi wezi niachani akawa anang'ang'ania mlango na mimi naung'ang'ania asiingie maana akawa kama ananizuia nisiingie,basi basi bahati nzuri akatokea mkaka mpita nje alivyoona ile vurumai akaja kunisaidia akawatoa akaniachia njia niingie kwenye gari,nikafunga mlango huku ananiambia lock milango haraka na uondoke,ndio nikapata upenyo wa kuondoka pale,

  9. Wana jamii ambao kingereza sio sana msijali. Mtu anapofanya jambo kwa nia njema anatakiwa alifanye kwa namna nzuri kabisa ili apate malipo mengi na mazuri kutokana na jambo lile. Wengi wetu hilo hatulijui hivyo basi nawatakia wana jamii tulijue hilo na tulifanye ili tupate malipo yaliyo mengi na mazuri kesho akhera inshallah. Kwa ufupi bwana Richard alikutana na matapeli wanajifanya askari wa jiji eneo la banki iliyoko posta ya zamani wakatakumtishia kuwa ameegesha gari lake ndivyo sinyo. Yeye aliwazidi nguvu na kasi akaondoka. Wchangiaji wengine wamesema nao washakutana na adha hizo, na zote ni maeneo ya banki banki. Hivyo anawafahamisha kuwepo kwa watu hao ambao wanatembea wawili na mmoja ana umbile la kibausa. MKUFUNZI anashukuru kwa taarifa lkn anaomba nini kifanyike iwe dawa kamili ya kukomesha tabia hizi na zile mbaya kama hii maana wengine tuna miili midogo ya kukabiliana na mabausa. NWATAKIA iJUMAA NJEMA NA HII IWE KWANGU NI SADAKA, MUNGU ANIMALIZIE MITIHANI ILIYOKO MBELE YANGU. amin amin amin.
    WENU MKUFUNZI
