With Jane Goodall sister (Judy) and son (Grub). I joined the family and close friends of Jane for a private sendoff in Bournemouth, UK, her hometown. Beautiful and emotional moment. Her body was cremated and some of her ashes will go to Gombe, Kigoma, where her legend started.

Jane’s gone but pleased that she passed on peacefully and her legacy is universally celebrated. She stubbornly challenged research dogma and as a result changed science. Her power of persuasion in advocacy came from her humility and authenticity: she lived her values. May she RIP
I am heartbroken and at a loss for words at the news of the passing of my dearest friend. I will share more in the coming days.
I’ll be speaking this year as well. Looking forward to reconnect Peter. Congrats to the #FTAfrica team at @FT @ftlive for a fantastic program and impressive lineup of speakers.
The 2025 edition of one of my favorite #Africa-focused gatherings, the #FTAfrica Summit, kicks off three weeks from today in London, #UK🇬🇧. I will be speaking again at this year’s event, which has as its theme “Africa in a changing world.” For more info: africa.live.ft.com/
Tuko Uwanja wa Shule ya Sekondari Usagara, Tanga Mjini, tayari kumsikiliza Rais wetu na Mgombea Urais wa CCM, Mhe Dkt. @SuluhuSamia akiinadi Ilani ya Uchaguzi ya CCM na kuomba ridhaa kwa Watanzania kuiongoza nchi yetu kwa miaka mitano ijayo.
We will have to settle a contradiction: if you want a modernised agriculture, you can’t then rely on it for mass job creation. If you want to keep it labour-intensive, expect low productivity, food insecurity and no exports. In rich countries, about 2% of workforce is in farming.
Will have to find an opportunity and a forum suited for a detailed discussion on this. For starters, let me quote a Chinese government’s policy document titled “Made in China 2025”: “Without a strong manufacturing industry, there will be no country and no nation.”
If one issue should keep Africa’s politicians awake at night, it is youth joblessness. Only large-scale, bold, out-of-the-box action can stop the perfect storm of expanding youth bulge, informality, skills gaps, and the vaunted paper growth. Nothing is more important than this.
When your people took boats to colonise us, they were the original “illegal immigrants”, looting our villages under the guise of “civilising missions”. At least we’re honest: we come to your shores to earn with our sweat, not for sausages at your village BBQ.
Increasingly, people go to AI chatbots for advice on major life decisions, even advice on committing suicide. Not sure if these bots are sufficiently “trained” to handle such emotionally complex matters. Most of them are too agreeable and dangerously validate emotional distress.
Pole nyingi sana kwa wafiwa. Mwenyezi Mungu azihifadhi roho za marehemu pahala pema peponi 🙏🏾

Watu saba(7) wamefariki baada ya gari walilokuwa wakisafiria kugonga lori lililokuwa limeharibika na kusimama barabarani katika Kijiji cha Kongo kata ya Bukwe wilayani Rorya, mkoani Mara.
Ajali hiyo imetokea alfajiri ya leo Septemba 11, ambapo watu hao saba walikuwa kwenye gari dogo aina ya Probox yenye namba za usajili T.625 DYV ambayo iliyogonga lori lililokuwa limeharibikia barabarani.
Inaelezwa kuwa watu hao jana Septemba 10, walitokea Kijiji cha Utegi kwenda Tarime Mjini kufurahia 'Simba Day 'na Usiku walianza safari yao kutoka Tarime mjini kurudi Utegi walipofika katikati ya Kijiji cha Kongo kata ya Bukwe wilayani Rorya ndipo walipolivaa lori hilo.
Jambo TV imezungumza na Mganga Mfawidhi wa Hospitali ya Wilaya ya Tarime, Yonah Charles amethibitisha vifo vya watu hao akieleza kuwa alfajiri yaleo wamepokea miili ya watu saba watatu wakiwa wanawake na wanne wanaume wakiwa wamefariki kutokana na ajali.
Nimeingia Mponde, Bumbuli muda huu. Muda mchache ujao nitazungumza na wananchi wa Bumbuli, nikiwa hapa.

This has elicited interesting responses from majirani, ranging from our supposedly poor command of English, to the TZS-USD-KES exchange rate, to the demand of a friendly match. But it’s all in good spirit. This is truly a PAMOJA CHAN. We hosted PAMOJA. We got eliminated PAMOJA 😊
Habari njema za Shangazi yangu Dr. Migiro @AshaRoseMigiro kuchaguliwa na NEC kuwa Katibu Mkuu wa CCM zimeweka tabasamu king’ang’anizi kwenye uso wangu ambalo bado halijaeleweka kwa wenyeji wangu huku mbali niliko. Nakupa pongezi zangu za dhati. Kama ambavyo NEC imeonesha imani kwako, sina shaka kabisa kwamba wanachama na washabiki wa CCM kote nchini tutatoa ushirikiano kwako na kwa Sekretarieti nzima ili kutimiza kazi tuliyowapa.
Bado miezi 18 kwa Chama chetu kutimiza miaka 50 tangu kuasisiwa. Nafarijika kwamba sifa na uwezo wako, sio tu utatusaidia kwenye kuendesha shughuli za kila siku za Chama, bali pia mapenzi yako ya tafakuri, udadisi na utafiti, naamini yatatupa nafasi wanachama wa CCM ya kufanya tafakuri ya kina, ya wazi na ya ukweli ya safari yetu ya miaka 50 ya uongozi wa nchi na wananchi.
Tafakari itakayozingatia mabadiliko makubwa yaliyotokea katika miaka 50 iliyopita - kuanzia kwenye mfumo wa rika, hadi kwenye kupanuka kwa elimu, mitizamo, fikra na ung’amuzi wa Watanzania, mabadiliko katika mifumo ya mawasiliano ya umma, mfumo wa uchumi na upatikanaji wa fursa. Tafakari itakayozingatia pia hali na mazingira ya siasa na uchumi wa dunia na mahitaji mapya na mahsusi ya wananchi kwa uongozi na dola. Naamini tafakuri hizi zitatusaidia CCM kujiimarisha na kutoa uongozi thabiti - wa fikra na vitendo - kwa nchi na wananchi kama ambavyo waasisi wa Chama chetu walidhamiria wakati wanaunganisha TANU na ASP.
