Them, I & Them: MORGAN HERITAGE ......... Nothing To Smile About

Nikiwa na Mr Mojo wa Morgan Heritage

Pengine tunapoelekea kwenye kuadhimisha miaka mingi ya uhuru na pia kukamilisha mwaka wa tatu wa awamu ya nne, ni vema tukajikumbusha juu ya yale ambayo pengine hayaoneshwi kwa uhakika na matokeo yake kuficha ukweli wa maisha halisi ya mtanzania. Sote twajua matumaini waliyokuwa nayo waTanzania mara walipopata Uhuru na twajua matumaini tuliyokuwa nayo na tuliyonayo kwa awamu hii ya nne ya uongozi iliyoingia na Kauli Mbiu ya Maisha Bora kwa kila mtanzania. Twayapenda maisha bora na naamini wengi wa waTanzania wako tayari kusaidia harakati halisi na sahihi za kuyatafuta (sijui kama watu wana moyo huo anymore) lakini bado ukweli unabaki kuwa sehemu kubwa ya Tanzania ambayo haioneshwi kwenye habari ina mambo mengi yanayosikitisha kuliko kutabasamulisha
Kama walivyoimba Morgan Heritage kwenye wimbo wao huu Nothing To Smile About (japo wao walizungumzia zaidi hali ya Jamaica ambayo kwa namna moja ama nyingine yafanana na kwetu), tunasikia jinsi watu wanavyoisifia Tanzania. Kwa Amani, Upendo na "mafanikio ya kuinua maisha ya mtu wa chini" japo kwa wale walio chini wanaona namna mabadiliko yamaanishavyo kuzidi kusubiri bila mafanikio. Ni jambo la kusikitisha sana kama unakutana na mtu anayekusimulia mafanikio haya tena kwa furaha kuu huku sisi tutokao vijijini tukijua hali halisi waishio ndugu zetu ambao tumewatembelea muda si mrefu uliopita. Simaanishi kuwa hakuna maendeleo lakini sidhani hata kama viongozi wetu wanatambua hali halisi wanayokabiliana nayo wakazi wa vijijini ambako hasa ndiko uliko UTI WA MGONGO WA UCHUMI WETU.
Lakini si vijijini tu, hata baadhi ya sehemu za mijini na kwenye maJiji kama Dar na Mwanza ni ya kusikitisha. Tuangalie baadhi ya taswira za karibuni kisha tujiulize kuwa "ukutanapo na mtu, akaanza kusifia takwimu aonazo kwenye tovuti mbalimbali juu ya kile kiitwacho maendeleo ya Tanzani utakuwa na lolote la kutabasamu ukikumbuka haya?" I mean DO YOU SEE ANYTHING TO SMILE ABOUT?

Ni Shule ya Msingi Amani, Ilala, Dar. Wanafunzi 2989, Madarasa 17 na madawati 287. Do you see anything to smile about? Picha toka kwa Issa Michuzi Mtanzania wa leo akikata kiu kwa "maji taka". Do you see anything to smile about? Picha na Rama Msangi
Mwanafunzi. Anakunywa na kuhema nini? Do you see anything to smile about? Picha toka Ipp MediaNi Dar hapa. Do you see anything to smile about? Picha mali ya Mroki

Hebu wasikilize na / ama kuwatazama Morgan Heritage hapa chini walipozungumzia kwao na kusema japo watu wanaisifia na kuitamani Jamaica, wao wanajua kilichopo kwenye mitaa, kwa watoto wanaoganga njaa, hali ya shule ambazo watoto ndiko wanategemea kupata elimu bora na hata hali za kusikitisha kwenye vituo vyao vya Polisi. Kwa Pamoja (Wao na wageni) wanakubaliana kuwa ukizunguka nchini kote na kuona yote, utagundua kuwa there's NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT.
Wasikilize hapa chini

Ama watazame hapa chini
