Dear All,
Yesterday 06th October I dropped a guest at the Courtyard Hotel at abt 10.20pm and drove back to Tegeta via Old Bagamoyo Rd. I slowed down to abt 20km/hr upon reaching the Mlalakua Bridge because of the speed humps.
Yesterday 06th October I dropped a guest at the Courtyard Hotel at abt 10.20pm and drove back to Tegeta via Old Bagamoyo Rd. I slowed down to abt 20km/hr upon reaching the Mlalakua Bridge because of the speed humps.
As I finished crossing the bridge I heard the front passenger door open suddenly, alas a man was struggling to get into my car! I could not believe what I was seeing while screaming I pounded on the accelerator to the best of ability and dragged the man who was now hanging on the open door until he fell down near the first gate of Mlalakua JKT.
I drove with an open door on high speed until the forces of nature closed it for me. My strategy was to just keep moving on high speed. I got home safely.
THE MISTAKES I MADE
I forgot to lock the doors when the guest disembarked. I slowed down too much when I reached the bridge. I did not use full-light upon reaching the bridge.
I was lucky no stone/log was put on the road to completely stop me. Please Be Careful on that Bridge at night!!!

Many have lost their cars there.
FYI... be careful
mlalakua is a dangerous place, never leave your stuff visible. I remember once I was driving back home and stopped at the bridge, the next thing I heard was a loud bang on the back seat window [mpasuko] and then saw hands potruding and taking a bag that was on the backseat. The incident took literally 5 seconds and the guy was long gone down the river!
ReplyDeleteDARAJA LA MLALAKUWA BRIDGE, NADHANI BADO UNAHITAJI MAPUMZIKO
ReplyDeletepole ndugu yangu naona anonym hapo juu anakutania kidogo na the use of daraja na bridge!pale kweli pana hatari sana ingefaa JKT walinde pale maana pako karibu na makao yao makuu na kama hiyo usiku ikikutokezea kitu basi umekwenda. hata salender pia mimi nimewahi kurushiwa mawe kioo cha mbele nikakimbiza nadhani ilikua wezi. ni vizuri kutangaza vitu kama hivi watu wanajitahadharisha
ReplyDeletewewse hapo juu so what? si umeeelewa habari. kwenda zako kazi kusoma na kutafuta makosa wakati hata kujibu kudhungu hukuweza.
ReplyDeleteWatanzania mnakera sana.
Asante kwa habari tutakuwa more careful tukipita hiyo mitaa.
Je police wnahabari hii? je wanapatrol hapo usiku mara kwa mara?
Pole sana kwa purukushani hiyo. Lakini pia, asante kwa taarifa hiyo. Nahisi ulitoa taarifa pia police!!
ReplyDeleteIt is near JKT, and still those stuffs happening, amazing! something should be done about it. Do those guys (JKT)know about it? The bridge should be widened and put lights there.
ReplyDeleteIlinitokea pia mimi mwezi wa pili mwaka huu hapo hapo darajan la mlalakuwa. Jamaa alikuwa ananifuata na gari dogo mithili ya corolla hivi tokea Mikocheni business. Nilipofika karibu na taraja, gari dogo lililokuwa nyuma yangu likanipita kwa kutumia njia ya kulia kwangu (kijidaraja cha incoming traffic).
ReplyDeleteMimi kichwani nikadhani kuwa jamaa pengine ana haraka zake ama pengine tayari "kesha cheka" unajua tena bongo walevi kibao barabarani hasa jumamosi. Ilikuwa usiku wa saa tisa hivi. Namaliza daraja namuona anapiga kona kuweka gari kuzuia njia niliyokuwa napita baada ya kumaliza daraja. Kumbe alinipita haraka ili awahi kunizuia. Kilichonisaidia nilikuwa sijanywa na nilikuwa na gari kubwa kuliko lake. Kwa haraka sana niligundua tatizo hivyo niliongeza speed na kupita kwenye kijinafasi kidogo pembeni yake(nikijaribu kukwepa hilo gari lilolokuwa limeziba njia). Nililigonga upande wa nyuma lakini sikusimama. Break yangu ya kwanza ilikuwa nyumbani. Gari yangu ilikuwa imeumia kiasi kikubwa. Nikawapelekea wachina kuitengeneza.
Tokea hapo, kila nikija bongo nikitoka viwanja usiku wa manane sipiti tena huko Mlalakuwa, napitia Lugalo. Namshukuru pia wazazi walionihimiza niache pombe sikuhizi sionji.
Kwahiyo bwana hiyo njia sio nzuri kabisa.
I am very sorry to here about your incident at the same area where my cell phone got snatched from me while I was on the phone. I had to struggle to protect it and he managed to take the top part (screen) and I remained with the lower part which had my sim card. after two days the top part was on sale at AZAM Jamhuri street area. Amazing! The national service have to secure the bridge otherwise the Kawe county have to do something!
ReplyDeletePALE DARAJANI USIKU NI HATARI. TAFADHALI SANA KAMA UKIONA GARI IMEHARIBIKA KARIBU NA DARAJA USIKU KUANZIA SAA NNE, AU IKO MBELE YAKO INAKATIZA POLEPOLE SANA KUWA MAKINI (TUMIA UPANDE WA PILI), HIYO NI MBINU YA KUKUBANA DARAJANI, MAANA KUNA SIKU TULITAKA KUPORWA NA HAO MAJAMBAZI PALE. JAMA NI JKT INATIA AIBU MATENDO HAYO YANATOKEA MBELE YA WALINZI WAKE PALE MLALAKUWA .. JKT SHOULD DO SOMETHING KAMA KUWEKA TAA KUMULIKA LILE DARAJA. IKIFANYA HIYO WALE WEZI HATAWATAKAA PALE.
ReplyDeleteWAPENDENI WANANCHI JKT..
HILI BRIDGE LA DARAJA LA MLALAKUWA KWELI NI IS DANGEROUS.
ReplyDeletemhh mimi nina wasiwasi kuwa wezi wenyewe pengine hao hao wanajeshi wa JKT ndio maana hawawezi kulinda maana mshahara wenyewe wa serekali sio mkubwa na ukizingatia wanaokaa maeneo hayo ni vibopa.yaani TZ
ReplyDeleteBasi tujaribishe kuwaongezea mshahara hao wafanyakazi wa serikali ili wasishawishike kuwa vibaka na kutuibia sisi ambao sio wafanyakazi wa serikali!!!!! imekaaje hii? hamuoni kuwa wanatafuta haki yao??
