ReplyDeleteNgoja nione na hii..
Hili ni jambo la aibu, kutumia meli ya enzi za Mjerumani.
Ilipaswa iwe imeegesha na kufanywa makumbusho.
Aibu.
Halafu ikizama, watu wakifa.. eti inaundwa tume..
hahahahahahaha
Du! Kweli nchi yetu tunaijua wenyewe tu.

ReplyDeleteMdau wa Kwanza hii ngoma bado inadai kwa sana maana kitu cha 'jerumani' ni cha uhakika soma hizi data hata UNHCR walikubali ni chombo salama:
ReplyDeleteThe ferry has been operating almost nonstop since that date. After Tanzanian independence in 1961, the Tanzania Railways Corporation took over the running of the ferry, allowing them to tie in services with the Central Line from Kigoma to Dar es Salaam. In 1970, the ship underwent an overhaul, in which the original steam engines were replaced with twin diesels and the accommodation upgraded, allowing an increase in passenger numbers from 430 to 600.
In 1993 the vessel underwent a further overhaul managed by a Danish shipyard, Karstensen Shipyard, Northern Jutland, sponsored by Danida, a Danish developmental organization.
In 1997, the Liemba was used by the UNHCR, along with the MV Mwongozo, to transport more than 75,000 refugees, who had fled Zaire during the First Congo War, back to their homeland following the overthrow of longtime dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. The ship made a total of 22 trips between Kigoma and Uvira during this five month operation.

ReplyDeleteDuring colonial times my father was at one time working,as bwana fedha bomani Kigoma, na Liemba ikifika alikuwa na tabia ya kutuchukua kwenda kama picnic karibu na stesheni,sisi na chupa zetu za chai na vitumbua,na ndizi mbivu.
Thanks for the memories
