na Stephano Chitete, Songea

KADA wa Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) katika Halmashauri ya Manispaa ya Songea mkoani Ruvuma Golden Sanga (Sanga One), ametangaza nia ya kugombea uenyekiti wa chama hicho wilaya ya Songea katika uchaguzi unaotarajiwa kufanyika Septemba mwaka huu.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari juzi mjini hapa, Sanga alisema ameamua kugombea nafasi hiyo, ili kurudisha heshima ya chama hicho mjini hapa.

Alisema kila kukicha mvuto wa chama hicho miongoni mwa jamii umekuwa ukipungua kutokana na matendo maovu yasiyokuwa ya kimaadili yanayofanywa na viongozi wake ambayo yamekuwa yakiwakatisha tamaa wananchi na wanachama wa chama hicho.

Alieleza kuwa hali hiyo imesababisha kata 6 kati ya 21 kuchukuliwa na Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) katika uchaguzi mkuu mwaka 2010.

Alieleza zaidi kuwa amejipanga kikamilifu kwa kushirikiana na viongozi wenzake watakaochaguliwa kushika nafasi mbalimbali ndani ya chama kukijenga chama na kuleta ushindi stahiki katika uchaguzi wa serikali za mitaa na uchaguzi mkuu wa 2015.

=====  =======  ======= ======

WITH just a few weeks gone after the UNESCO World Heritage Committee accepted Tanzania's request to make changes to the territory of the Selous Game Reserve to pave way for uranium mining, the five District Commissioners within Ruvuma Region have called upon local communities to embrace opportunities that may come by when the project starts.

The UNESCO committee at a meeting in St Petersburg in the Russian Federation that started June 24 to 6 July 2012, committee unanimously approved Tanzania's request to modify the boundary of the game reserve by 0.8 per cent which means that about 200 square kilometers to the south of the Selous, where uranium deposits are found, will also be excluded.

Speaking during a visit to the $400 million Mkuju River uranium mine development project in Namtumbo District, Ruvuma Region at the weekend, the DCs urged locals not to listen to rumors that the project poses a threat to their lives. The Namtumbo District Commissioner Abdallah Lutavi said the project is expected to benefit the whole region in terms of poverty alleviation through jobs that will be created when the project begins.

“Local communities should embrace opportunities that may come by since the project will create a win-win situation. We are sure the good relations between Mantra Tanzania and local communities will persevere,” he said. The Mbinga District Commissioner Senyi  Ngaga said the mineral does not cause any harm in its raw-form urging that the minerals will not be processed in the country but exported.

Earlier the Mantra Tanzania Community relations Manager Benard Mihayo said there is still a challenge for the company to offer jobs to local communities as per the company’s policy since many of them do not have the necessary academic qualifications. “All semi-skilled laborers will come from surrounding communities surrounding the project.  We expect 500 permanent staff and the project will create many jobs in-directly,” he said 

The Mantra Tanzania Geological Officer Roy Namgera the project has life-span of 15 years but the company is still undertaking a research to determine where the project’s life span can take longer. The proposed uranium mine on the Selous Game reserve will give the Tanzanian coffers an annual gross turnover of at least $250 million for 15 years. 

Pinda: Jifunzeni kutoka kwa wawekezaji

Na Amon Mtega, Songea

WANANCHI wa Kijiji cha Lipokela, Kata ya Mbingamhalule wilayani Songea, wametakiwa kuacha kuwa watazamaji kwa wawekezaji na kufurahia fursa zao bali wafanye kazi ya kujifunza kutoka kwao.

Kauli hiyo ilitolewa mjini hapa jana na Waziri Mkuu, Mizengo Pinda, alipotembelea shamba la kilimo cha kahawa la wawekezaji wa Kampuni ya Avivu Tanzania Ltd, lenye ukubwa wa ekari 1,934 lililopo kijijini wakati wa ziara yake ya siku mbili mkoani Ruvuma.

Alisema kunufaika na wawekezaji waliopo, inatakiwa kushikamana nao zaidi kwa lengo la kujifunza namna ya utendaji kazi na hatimaye uchumi utakuwa kwa wote bila kuacha pengo kubwa kati ya mwekezaji na mwananchi mzawa.

“Msipofanya kazi hiyo ya kujifunza changamoto nyingi zitakuwa zinawakabili hasa suala la kipato ambacho huwa kinafikia mahali pakulaumiana kuwa mnaonewa kumbe si kweli bali ni uzembe wa kutokuwa tayari kupata mafunzo kutoka kwa wawekezaji,” alisema Pinda.

Alisema anapenda shamba hilo la wawekezaji liwe pia shamba darasa kwa wakulima wa kijiji hicho na vijiji vya jirani, kwa ajili ya kupata mafunzo hayo kirahisi zaidi na kwa uhakika.

Kwa upande wake, Meneja wa Shamba hilo, Medappa Genepaphy, alisema kampuni hiyo imeweza kutoa ajira kwa watu 5,000.

Alisema wameandaa miche ya kahawa itakayopandwa katika shamba hilo pamoja na kila mkulima wa kijiji hicho atapanda ekari moja ya kahawa katika shamba lake.

Aidha, alisema kampuni hiyo itasaidiana na wananchi katika huduma za kijamii ikiwamo ujenzi wa kituo cha afya na kutoa kompyuta katika shule na hatimaye wanafunzi waweze kupata elimu iliyo bora zaidi.

 “Baada ya  kufanya  ziara  mkoni Rukwa hususani  katika maeneo  ya  mwambao  mwa  Ziwa Tanganyika tumebaini  dosari  kadha wa kadhaa  ambazo   zimekuwa  zikisababisha  kupungua  kwa pato  katika  Halmashauri  yetu  ya Mbinga” alisema Mwisho

Kwa mujibu  wa  Mwisho ufuatia ziara yao mkoani Rukwa wamebaini kuwa kuna vyanzo vingi vya mapato ambavyo wamekuwa wakivipoteza kwenye Ziwa Nyasa hivyo watatumia maarifa waliyoyapata na kuweka mikakati ya kuboresha ukusanyaji wa mapato kwenye ziwa hilo kama zinavyonufaika Halmashauri za Wilaya ya Sumbawanga na Nkasi kwenye Ziwa Tanganyika.
