MULOKOZI ACHANGIA MILIONI 100 KUIUNGA MKONO MIRADI YA KANISA KATOLIKI MBULU

Na Mwandishi Wetu.

MWENYEKITI wa Makampuni ya Mati Group of Companies Ltd, David Mulokozi, amechangia Sh milioni 100 kupitia kampuni ya Mati Super Brands Ltd pamoja na familia yake binafsi, kusaidia miradi ya maendeleo ya Jimbo Katoliki la Mbulu.

Mchango huo umetolewa katika harambee iliyofanyika ndani ya Dekania ya Babati, ikiwa ni sehemu ya maandalizi ya maadhimisho ya Jubilei ya Almasi ya miaka 75 tangu kuanzishwa kwa Jimbo Katoliki la Mbulu, ambapo Mulokozi alikuwa mgeni rasmi.

Akizungumza katika hafla hiyo, Mulokozi alisema mchango wake umetokana na imani yake kwa Mungu, akieleza kuwa kila alichonacho ni zawadi kutoka kwake na kwamba kuchangia maendeleo ya Kanisa na nyumba za ibada ni njia mojawapo ya kumshukuru Mungu.

Alisema kusaidia shughuli za maendeleo ya Kanisa kwake ni sehemu ya imani na nadhiri yake mbele za Mungu, huku akihimiza jamii kuendeleza utamaduni wa kujitolea kwa kuchangia miradi ya maendeleo kulingana na uwezo wa kila mmoja.

Aliongeza kuwa maendeleo ya taasisi za kidini yanahitaji ushirikiano wa waumini, wadau na watu wenye mapenzi mema, akisisitiza kuwa kila mchango unaotolewa kwa moyo wa kujitolea una nafasi muhimu katika kufanikisha malengo yaliyowekwa.

Akisoma taarifa ya harambee hiyo, Dekano wa Dekania ya Babati, Reginald Kimati, alisema jumla ya fedha zilizopatikana pamoja na ahadi zilizotolewa zimevuka Sh milioni 200 zilizolengwa kukusanywa katika dekania hiyo.

Alisema Jimbo Katoliki la Mbulu limeweka lengo la kukusanya Sh bilioni mbili kwa ajili ya kutekeleza miradi mbalimbali ya maendeleo, ikiwemo ujenzi wa hosteli za malazi, ukumbi, jukwaa la kudumu kwa ajili ya maadhimisho ya kijimbo pamoja na kuchangia ujenzi wa kituo cha kichungaji mjini Babati.

Kimati alisema kukamilika kwa miradi hiyo kutasaidia kuboresha mazingira ya huduma za kichungaji na kuongeza uwezo wa Kanisa kuhudumia waumini pamoja na wadau mbalimbali watakaoshiriki shughuli za kijimbo.

Kwa upande wake, Askofu wa Jimbo Katoliki la Mbulu, Mhashamu Anthony Lagwen, alimpongeza Mulokozi kwa mchango wake na moyo wa kujitolea, akisema hatua hiyo ni mfano mzuri wa ushirikiano katika kuendeleza miradi ya Kanisa.

Alisisitiza kuwa fedha zitakazokusanywa zitatumika kwa malengo yaliyokusudiwa ili kuhakikisha miradi iliyopangwa inatekelezwa na kuleta manufaa kwa Kanisa na waumini wake.

Aidha, aliwahimiza waumini na wadau wengine kuendelea kushiriki katika kuchangia miradi hiyo ili kufanikisha lengo la Sh bilioni mbili na kuhakikisha maandalizi ya maadhimisho hayo yanakamilika kwa wakati.

 Maadhimisho ya Jubilei ya Almasi ya miaka 75 ya Jimbo Katoliki la Mbulu yanatarajiwa kufanyika Machi 2028, yakikumbuka historia ya kuanzishwa kwa jimbo hilo Machi 25, 1953.

MGOGORO WA ARDHI MAKUYUNI KUPATA SULUHISHO

Na Mwandishi Wetu, Arusha.

MKUU wa Mkoa wa Arusha, CPA Amos Gabriel Makalla, ameingilia kati mgogoro wa ardhi uliodumu kwa takribani miaka 20 katika Kijiji cha Makuyuni, Wilaya ya Monduli, kwa kupendekeza ekari 100 za eneo la mwekezaji kutengwa kwa ajili ya wananchi wa Kitongoji cha Zaburi.

Hatua hiyo inalenga kupata suluhisho la kudumu la mgogoro huo uliohusisha wananchi kuvamia eneo la ekari 200 linalomilikiwa na kampuni ya Rhino Equipment & Transportation na kuanzisha makazi pamoja na shughuli mbalimbali za kiuchumi.

Akizungumza na wananchi wa Kitongoji cha Zaburi, Novemba 6, 2026, Makalla alisema kampuni hiyo ndiyo mmiliki halali wa eneo hilo, lakini Serikali imependekeza sehemu ya ardhi hiyo kutengwa kwa wananchi kutokana na uwepo wa kitongoji kilichosajiliwa na kuendelezwa kwa miundombinu ya kijamii.

Alisema kitongoji hicho tayari kina huduma muhimu zikiwemo msikiti, kanisa, shule ya awali, maji na umeme, hali inayohitaji suluhisho linalozingatia maslahi ya wananchi na haki za mwekezaji.

Aidha, Makalla aliuagiza uongozi wa kampuni hiyo kukutana na wananchi walioingia katika eneo lake jingine lenye ukubwa wa ekari 100 ili kujadiliana na kufikia makubaliano yatakayowezesha matumizi sahihi ya ardhi hiyo na kumaliza mgogoro huo.

Aliwataka wananchi kuwa watulivu na kusitisha uvamizi pamoja na shughuli za kuendeleza maeneo hayo hadi mazungumzo na makubaliano yatakapokamilika.

Pia, aliiagiza Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Monduli kusimamia utekelezaji wa maelekezo hayo na kuhakikisha eneo litakalotengwa kwa ajili ya wananchi linakuwa na mpango mzuri wa matumizi ya ardhi.

Akizungumza kwa niaba ya wananchi, Mzee Leng’ida alisema hatua iliyochukuliwa na Mkuu wa Mkoa pamoja na timu yake imerejesha matumaini kwa wakazi wa Kitongoji cha Zaburi ambao kwa muda mrefu wamekuwa wakikabiliwa na sintofahamu kuhusu hatma ya makazi yao.

Alisema busara na hekima zilizotumika katika kutafuta suluhisho la mgogoro huo zitasaidia kuleta matumaini mapya na kuwarejeshea wananchi amani.

Kwa upande wake, Mwenyekiti wa Kijiji cha Makuyuni, Ngayoki, alisema atahakikisha maelekezo yote yaliyotolewa na Mkuu wa Mkoa yanatekelezwa katika ngazi ya kijiji na kata kwa kushirikiana na wananchi.

Naye mkazi wa Kitongoji cha Zaburi, Naserian Saitabau, alisema mgogoro huo umewafanya wananchi kuishi kwa taharuki kwa miaka mingi kutokana na kutokuwa na uhakika wa hatma ya makazi yao.

Alisema hatua ya Mkuu wa Mkoa kuingilia kati imewapa matumaini mapya ya kupata suluhisho la kudumu litakalowawezesha kuishi kwa amani na kuendelea na shughuli zao za maendeleo.

NATIONAL COMMISSIONS URGED TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE MANAGEMENT

 

How coordination, communication and public engagement can support implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention

Introduction: Protecting a Shared Heritage

World Heritage sites tell important stories about human history, cultural achievement and the natural world. Protecting them for future generations requires more than international recognition. It requires effective management, cooperation among institutions, reliable information and the involvement of communities.

The 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage provides an international framework for identifying, protecting, conserving and transmitting cultural and natural properties of Outstanding Universal Value. Its success depends on action at international, national and local levels.

UNESCO National Commissions can help connect these levels. By linking UNESCO’s international work with national institutions, experts and communities, they can support cooperation and strengthen public understanding of why heritage matters. Their role is especially valuable when it helps turn shared international commitments into informed national action.

Understanding the Convention and the Operational Guidelines

The World Heritage Convention sets out the shared responsibilities of the international community and States Parties for protecting cultural and natural heritage of Outstanding Universal Value. The Operational Guidelines explain the procedures used to implement the Convention, including the nomination of properties, inscription on the World Heritage List, monitoring and reporting on conservation, and access to international assistance.

Responsibilities within this framework are distinct. States Parties have the primary responsibility for identifying, protecting, conserving and managing heritage within their territories. The World Heritage Committee makes decisions within its mandate, and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre serves as the Secretariat of the Convention. The Advisory Bodies—ICOMOS, IUCN and ICCROM—provide specialised expertise in line with their respective roles.

National Commissions complement this system through cooperation, communication, education and partnership-building. They do not replace governments, site managers or the competent heritage authorities. Their contribution is to help connect UNESCO’s work with the people and institutions that can support its goals at country level.

1. Acting as a Bridge Between Global Commitments and National Priorities

Heritage protection involves many actors, including government ministries, heritage and environmental authorities, local governments, universities, researchers, site managers, non-governmental organisations and local communities. Each brings different knowledge, responsibilities and resources.

UNESCO National Commissions can help these actors communicate and work together. They can share relevant UNESCO information, convene discussions, encourage partnerships and connect national stakeholders with appropriate programmes and expertise. This bridging role helps make international commitments more understandable and relevant to national priorities.

The bridge works in both directions. National stakeholders need access to UNESCO guidance and international experience; UNESCO cooperation also benefits when national institutions and communities can communicate their priorities, experiences and challenges. National Commissions can help facilitate this exchange while respecting the formal responsibilities of the institutions involved.

2. Supporting Tentative Lists and the Nomination Process

The path to World Heritage inscription begins before a nomination is submitted. Each State Party prepares a Tentative List of properties it may consider nominating in the future. A property must be included on this list before it can be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List.

A nomination requires sound research, clear documentation and evidence that a property meets the relevant criteria for Outstanding Universal Value. It also requires suitable protection and management arrangements.

National Commissions can raise awareness of the process, encourage dialogue among researchers and relevant institutions, and promote access to information and capacity-building opportunities. They can also encourage inclusive discussions involving site managers and communities.

The State Party and its authorised national authorities remain responsible for the Tentative List and formal nomination submissions. The objective should not simply be to increase the number of nominations, but to support well-prepared proposals and the long-term protection of heritage.

3. Supporting Conservation, Monitoring and Preparedness

Inscription on the World Heritage List is an important achievement, but it is not the end of the conservation process. The long-term value of a property depends on protecting the features that make it significant and responding to threats in good time.

The Operational Guidelines establish procedures for monitoring and reporting on the state of conservation of properties. States Parties and the relevant site management authorities have primary responsibilities for these processes.

National Commissions can complement their work by sharing information about relevant UNESCO guidance, encouraging cooperation among institutions and helping connect national stakeholders with appropriate expertise. They can also help communicate conservation concerns to the competent authorities.

By promoting dialogue about risk preparedness, research and the exchange of good practices, National Commissions can help strengthen awareness of the importance of preventive conservation. Any formal reporting or request for assistance must follow the Convention’s procedures and be handled by the authorised bodies.

4. Building Professional Networks and Sharing Expertise

Heritage conservation requires specialised knowledge and continuous learning. Site managers, archaeologists, historians, architects, environmental scientists and conservators often face challenges that can be addressed more effectively through cooperation.

National Commissions can encourage professional networks and opportunities for heritage practitioners to share experience, discuss common challenges and learn from one another. In collaboration with competent authorities, universities and professional organisations, they may help facilitate workshops, expert discussions, research partnerships and training.

These connections can also support cooperation across disciplines, including culture, natural sciences, education, tourism and environmental management. Stronger professional links help make conservation efforts more informed and responsive to national needs.

5. Making Community Participation Meaningful

People who live in or near heritage places, or who have longstanding cultural connections with them, may hold valuable historical knowledge and traditional practices. Their participation can strengthen understanding of a place and support its protection.

National Commissions can promote public education, facilitate dialogue and encourage the involvement of communities, young people, women and other relevant stakeholders in heritage initiatives. Participation should be meaningful, with appropriate opportunities for people to share knowledge, raise concerns and contribute to discussions that affect their heritage and livelihoods.

Through education, publications, media engagement and digital platforms, National Commissions can make heritage information more accessible. Clear communication helps people understand that protecting heritage is a shared responsibility, not only a task for specialists.

6. Connecting Heritage Protection with Sustainable Development

Heritage conservation can support education, research, cultural identity, tourism and local economic opportunities. Natural heritage can contribute to biodiversity conservation and environmental learning, while cultural heritage can preserve historical knowledge and strengthen connections between generations.

These benefits depend on responsible management. Development activities must be planned carefully so they do not damage the Outstanding Universal Value of World Heritage properties.

National Commissions can encourage dialogue between heritage stakeholders and institutions working in education, science, culture, tourism and environmental management. They can also promote understanding of why conservation should be considered in wider development planning. The goal is to pursue social and economic benefits while protecting the values for which properties are recognised.

7. Encouraging Partnerships and International Cooperation

Protecting World Heritage requires sustained commitment, resources and access to relevant expertise. National Commissions can help identify opportunities for cooperation, connect potential partners and raise awareness of UNESCO programmes and assistance mechanisms.

Universities, research institutions, civil society, development partners and responsible private-sector organisations may contribute to education, documentation, research and capacity-building. The World Heritage Fund provides a framework for international assistance under the Convention, subject to established procedures and eligibility requirements.

National Commissions can help stakeholders understand available opportunities and connect them with competent authorities. Formal nominations, reports and applications for assistance must follow the applicable procedures and be submitted by authorised bodies. Partnerships are most useful when they respond to clear needs and contribute to lasting conservation capacity.

8. Communication as a Tool for Heritage Protection

Communication shapes how people understand, value and protect heritage. Accurate and accessible information can explain why a place matters, describe conservation priorities and help the public understand the responsibilities of institutions and communities.

For National Commissions, communication means more than publicising events or celebrating international recognition. It includes making technical information understandable, sharing good practices and encouraging informed public participation.

This work requires strong professional and ethical standards. Information should be accurate, claims should be supported by evidence, and institutional achievements should not be exaggerated. Credible communication can build public trust, encourage participation and support better-informed decisions.

Conclusion: Turning Shared Commitments into Lasting Protection

The 1972 World Heritage Convention reflects a shared international commitment to protecting cultural and natural properties of Outstanding Universal Value. Its implementation requires sustained action at international, national and local levels.

States Parties and their competent authorities carry the primary responsibilities for implementing the Convention and protecting World Heritage properties. UNESCO National Commissions can support this work by connecting international programmes with national institutions and communities, promoting public awareness, encouraging partnerships and helping share knowledge and expertise.

Their bridging role is most effective when it respects institutional responsibilities and responds to the needs of national stakeholders. By helping information, expertise and priorities move between UNESCO and national actors, National Commissions can contribute to stronger cooperation around heritage protection.

Ultimately, World Heritage protection is not only about recognition. It is about the continuing commitment to safeguard places of shared significance and pass their cultural and natural value on to future generations.

MALAIKA GRAY AIBUA MSISIMKO WA MAPENZI KUPITIA ‘MY FEVER’

Na Mwandishi Wetu, Dar es Salaam

MWIMBAJI na mtunzi wa nyimbo Mtanzania, Malaika Gray, ameanza safari yake rasmi ya muziki kwa kutoa wimbo wake wa kwanza, My Fever, akimshirikisha nyota wa Bongo Flava, Marioo.

Wimbo huo uliotoka Oktoba 30, 2026, umeandaliwa jijini Dar es Salaam, ambako pia video yake ilirekodiwa katika maeneo mbalimbali ya jiji hilo, ukiwemo ufukwe wa Bahari ya Hindi, masoko, vituo vya daladala na mitaa ya kawaida.

Malaika amesema ameamua kuanzia nyumbani kwa sababu Tanzania ndiyo sehemu yenye nafasi ya pekee katika maisha na safari yake ya muziki, ingawa dhamira yake ni kutengeneza nyimbo zitakazowafikia wasikilizaji duniani kote.

“Niliutengeneza nyumbani kwa sababu ndiko moyo wangu ulipo, Tanzania na bara ninalolijua na kulipenda. Lakini ninatengeneza muziki kwa ajili ya yeyote atakayeusikia. Nyumbani ndipo unapoanzia, si pale unapoishia,” amesema.

My Fever ni wimbo wa mapenzi unaoelezea mvuto na hisia zinazojengeka kati ya watu wawili, ukiunganisha midundo ya Afrobeats na Bongo Flava pamoja na ladha ya R&B, inayochangiwa na uzoefu wa Malaika kukulia katika nchi mbalimbali.

Msanii huyo amesema aliandika wimbo huo akilenga kuwasilisha hisia za mapenzi zinazochanganyika na mazingira ya kiangazi, huku akitaka sauti na ladha yake viakisi maisha ya Dar es Salaam.

Malaika aliandika wimbo huo kwa kushirikiana na Marioo, huku Abbah Process akihusika katika utayarishaji wa muziki huo.

Video ya My Fever ilirekodiwa kwa siku mbili jijini Dar es Salaam chini ya uongozi wa Joma, ikionesha mandhari na maisha ya kila siku ya jiji hilo. Marioo pia anaonekana katika video hiyo, iliyotolewa kupitia chaneli za wasanii hao wawili.

Kwa upande wake, Marioo amesema amefurahishwa na ushirikiano huo, akieleza kuwa Malaika ana kipaji na anaamini wataendelea kufanya kazi pamoja katika siku zijazo.

“Malaika ana kipaji cha kweli, na ilikuwa furaha kwangu kushiriki katika wimbo wake wa kwanza. Natarajia tutafanya kazi nyingi zaidi pamoja,” amesema Marioo.

Malaika, aliyekulia kati ya Tanzania na Afrika Kusini, kwa sasa anasomea Vocal Performance na Music Business katika Chuo cha Muziki cha Berklee kilichopo Boston, Marekani.

Kutolewa kwa My Fever ni mwanzo wa safari yake ya muziki, huku kukiwa na mipango ya kutoa kazi nyingine na kufanya ushirikiano wa kimuziki katika Afrika Mashariki na Kusini mwa Afrika hadi mwaka 2027.

Wimbo huo umetolewa kupitia Africori, kampuni inayohusishwa na Warner Music Group, na unapatikana katika majukwaa mbalimbali ya kidijitali ya kusikiliza muziki.

Dodoma, Oktoba 27, 2026

Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu-Kazi, Ajira na Mahusiano, Mhe. Deus Sangu, amesema uwekezaji uliofanywa na Mfuko wa Hifadhi ya Jamii kwa Watumishi wa Umma PSSSF kwenye mradi wa Rock City Mall jijini mwanza ni ishara kwamba michango ya wanachama inalindwa, inakua na kurejesha faida kwa Taifa.

Mhe. Sangu ameyasema hayo jijini Dodoma Oktoba 27, 2026 wakati Kampuni ya Mwanza Rock City Ltd ambayo ndiyo inasimamia mradi huo ikitoa gawio la jumla ya Shilingi 1.18 bilioni kwa wabia wake watatu ambao ni; PSSSF ambayo imepokea Shilingi 1.07 bilioni; Halmashauri ya Jiji la Mwanza imepokea Shilingi 71.3 milioni na Manispaa ya Ilemela imepokea Shilingi 47.56 milioni. PSSSF ambayo ni taasisi iliyo chini ya Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu (Kazi, Ajira na Mahusiano), ndiye mwekezaji mkuu katika mradi huo.

Hafla hiyo ilihudhuriwa pia na viongozi mbalimbali wakiwemo Mstahiki Meya wa Jiji la Mwanza Mhe. Constatine Sima, Mstaiki Meya wa Manispaa ya Ilemela Mhe. Sarah Ng’wani, na Mstaiki Meya wa Halmashauri ya Ilemela, Mhe Renatus Mulunga pamoja na Waheshimiwa Madiwani.

“Ninapenda kutoa pongezi za dhati kwa Bodi na Menejimenti ya Mifuko yetu ya Hifadhi ya Jamii, hususan PSSSF, kwa kazi kubwa mnayoifanya ya kuhakikisha michango ya wanachama inalindwa, inakua na kurejesha faida kwa Taifa. Leo hatupokei gawio tu, tunapokea uthibitisho kuwa mfumo wetu wa hifadhi ya jamii uko imara, unakua na unalipa.” Alisema Mhe. Sangu.

Mhe. Waziri Sangu alisema, Serikali ya Awamu ya Sita chini ya uongozi wa Mheshimiwa Dkt. Samia Suluhu Hassan, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania inaogozwa na Dira ya Maendeleo ya Taifa 2050. Dira hiyo inatuambia kuwa Tanzania tunayoitaka ni ya uchumi imara, wa viwanda, usio na umaskini, na wenye ajira zenye staha kwa kila Mtanzania.

“ Hivyo, jitihada hizi zinaonekana kwa wabia wote wa mradi huu wa Rock City Mall ambao ni PSSSF, Halmashauri ya Jiji la Mwanza na Halmashauri ya Ilemela kwa usimamizi mzuri wa mradi ambao pia umezalisha ajira. Bila usimamizi wenu pengine leo tusingekuwa hapa kushuhudia tukio hili kubwa kwa wabia hawa. Hongereni sana….!” Alisema.

Nawapongeza PSSSF kwa uwekezaji huu wenye tija kwa taifa letu, kwani nimeelezwa mpaka sasa asilimia 98 ya jengo lina wapangaji. Pamoja na kupendezesha jiji letu la Mwanza, mradi huu unanufaisha watu zaidi ya 1000 kupitia ajira za kudumu na za muda, kwa kufanya hivyo mnaunga mkono juhudi za Serikali kwa kuzalisha ajira kwa vijana wetu, alisema Mhe. Sangu.

Aidha Mhe. Sangu ametoa wito kwa PSSSF na taasisi nyingine zilizo chini ya Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu (Kazi, Ajira na Mahusiano) kuhakikisha wanafuata miongozo ya uwekezaji inayotolewa na Benki Kuu ya Tanzania pamoja na sera za uwekezaji za taasisi husika ili kuweza kufanya uwekezaji wenye tija kama huu ambao leo tunashuhudia ukitoa gawio kwa wabia wake.

“Lengo la kuwekeza ni kulinda thamani ya michango ya Wanachama ili wanapokuja kustaafu waweze kulipwa mafao ambayo ni zaidi ya michango yao waliyokuwa wanachangia katika Mfuko, hivyo, kutokana na mafanikio ya mradi huu tunaamini sehemu hii ya gawiwo itachangia katika kuwafanya wanachama wa PSSSF KULIPWA JANA.” Alisisitiza.

Kwa upande wake, Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Mfuko wa PSSSF, ambaye pia ni Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Wadhamini ya Mwanza Rock City Company Limited, Bw. Fortunatus Magambo, amelinganisha tukio hilo na siku ya mavuno.

“Hakika ile mbegu tuliyopanda, ilimea vyema na hatimaye leo tunavuna tulichopanda, hakika leo ni siku muhimu sana.” Alisema Bw. Magambo.

Bw. Magambo alisema, Rock City Mall ina mchango kwa jamii na maendeleo ya Jiji la Mwanza kwa kuwa kituo cha huduma mbalimbali, ambapo faida zake ni pamoja na; Kurahisisha upatikanaji wa huduma, inakusanya huduma mbalimbali katika eneo moja, zikiwemo maduka, huduma za benki na migahawa mbalimbali.

“Hii huwasaidia wananchi kuokoa muda na kurahisisha shughuli zao, Rock City Mall inatoa nafasi za biashara na ajira, inatoa maeneo ya kufanyia biashara na kuchangia fursa za ajira kupitia maduka, migahawa na huduma nyingine zinazopatikana hapo.

Aidha, Bw. Magambo alisema, PSSSF inawekeza ili kulinda thamani ya michango ya Wanachama ili wanapokuja kustaafu waweze kupata mafao zaidi ya michango yao waliyokuwa wanachangia katika Mfuko.

“Uwekezaji wa Mfuko unaongozwa na Mwongozo wa Uwekezaji kutoka Benki Kuu ya Tanzania pamoja na Sera ya Uwekezaji ya Mfuko. Sehemu kubwa ya uwekezaji upo katika dhamana za serikali, hisa za kampuni na amana za mabenki na si kwenye majengo kama wengi wanavyodhani.” Alisisitiza.
