FREE AND FAIR ELECTION

Four members of the Elders, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan, Lakhdar Brahimi, Graça Machel, have joined their fellow African civil society leaders in urging an end to violence and intimidation in Zimbabwe ahead of the presidential run-off elections at the end of the month.
In an open letter, dozens of Africa’s most respected leaders call for the election to be conducted in a peaceful and transparent manner and demand that all of the people of Zimbabwe be allowed to vote freely and without fear of retribution
“The eyes of the world are watching Zimbabwe and it is critical that the people are allowed to express their political will,” said Archbishop Tutu. “The violence and intimidation we have seen in recent weeks are simply unacceptable and I urge people around the world to speak up in support of the people of Zimbabwe and their right to choose their leaders.”
Civil society organizations and individuals can show their support for the people of Zimbabwe by going to www.zimbabwe-27June.com and adding their names to the open letter.
The full text of the letter and its signatories follow:
Zimbabweans fought for liberation in order to be able to determine their own future. Great sacrifices were made during the liberation struggle. To live up to the aspirations of those who sacrificed, it is vital that nothing is done to deny the legitimate expression of the will of the people of Zimbabwe.
As Africans we consider the forthcoming elections to be critical. We are aware of the attention of the world. More significantly we are conscious of the huge number of Africans who want to see a stable, democratic and peaceful Zimbabwe
Consequently, we are deeply troubled by the current reports of intimidation, harassment and violence. It is vital that the appropriate conditions are created so that the Presidential run-off is conducted in a peaceful, free and fair manner. Only then can the political parties conduct their election campaigning in a way that enables the citizens to express freely their political will.
In this context, we call for an end to the violence and intimidation, and the restoration of full access for humanitarian and aid agencies.
To this end it will be necessary to have an adequate number of independent electoral observers, both during the election process and to verify the results.
Whatever the outcome of the election, it will be vital for all Zimbabweans to come together in a spirit of reconciliation to secure Zimbabwe’s future.
We further call upon African leaders at all levels - pan-African, regional and national - and their institutions to ensure the achievement of these objectives.

ECONOMIC OF TANZANIA THROUGH PHOTOGRAPH

There are different aria which contribute the economic of Tanzania such as Agriculture, businesses and taxes. But to day we going to look about picture or photograph, how is contribute Tanzania economy.
In our country people gates job by producing photos or pictures and sell to foreign when comes to visitor our country they buy different kind of picture (image) so that is easy to citizen to pay tax to government.

Example there many youth in Tanzania they daily activities is to paint or to draw many tips of picture including fine art and Tinga tinga in many arias in Dare s salaam like Morogoro Store at Ostarbay, Slipway at Masaki and Mwenge market for Ting tinga.

Picture gives education people through sing and symbol to get direction or information to people how /where to pay or to rich some offices, so government can rescue losses of money. Not only that picture gives us education but photo promote our country by selling picture outside the country, which some photos that shows nature of our country and some place in order to visitor to come in Tanzania.

In internet you can put some picture shows Nation Parks, or wonders of country like Kilimanjaro Mountain. Due that the investors to come and when paying tax is increasing national economy because now a days the world is like global.

Due to private ownership like media when give public information like economic, political and science they using photography in newspaper and school books and when people buy the media can get money to pay tax for government.

Before colonial aerial people lived in caves and they paint a picture, art or symbol on stone and mine, by using arrow or things which have sharp edge. When you visit nation museum, and Amboni cave at Tanga you will see in that age the footage is remain until now. Through this picture foreign when come through tourism they will pay and this money used to increase the Tanzania economic.
It is time for college such as Dar es salaam school of journalism (D S J) and other school to make effort by teaching the student about quality of good picture, how to handle camera and picture composition. Because in journalism field or any kind of businesses photograph is need credibility after work output. in order to produce qualified professional.

LOVE YOUR SELF BEFORE SOMEONE LOVE YOU

Many people talk about “love” But what is love meaning? Love is an intense feeling of deep affection, a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Why when love brakes it brings bitterness and pain? I discovered that if you have someone love you before you loving your self, many things may happening including killing yourself. Many people do not know how to love themselves.
There are many ways to love and care for yourself. The possibilities are infinite. One way to learn or to love your self is to act as you already do “you must fake it till you make it” First love your body by eating healthy food and exercise regularly, treat your self to things like massage, a pedicure or gym membership. Take breaks and having fun as well whether alone, with your friend, or with a partner. Go out for a nice dinner, go dancing or attend concert. If you are more saver than spender then perhaps it is time to take as well expense example eat dinner at home by candlelight, take a walk on beach, swim in the ocean or watch sunset. Perhaps you taking time to paint or write but just put your imagination to work.

Another way to love your self or self-esteem is to be aware of your self-talk, I am meaning those thing that you say to your self inside your head or your heart, soul or mind. If eyes talk, hand shake, legs walk there fore mind, head, soul, and heat speaking or shouting or talk. You can speak to your self in ways that are more kind, many of us have very hash inner critics when we make a mistake, this critical voice inside our head, heat or soul beat up on us, saying things such as “That was so stupid” …. I cant do anything right …. I loose bus what a loser” We need to replace this negative message with other, more positive ones “ I made a mistake that’s okay that is how I learn, I’ll know better the next time” With awareness overtime you can catch your self, when your self – talk is negative, and change the message to something more positive and “critics”



Don’t just catch yourself wrong, catch yourself being right. In other words, don’t catch the voice of your inner critic, and stop it from beating up on you. When you do something well, or when find you talk positive sentence say right thing to your self be sure to reward your self. Acknowledge your self verbally, give your self the part of the back, or treat your self to some thing special or you can learn to love your self by being in the practice of using positive affirmation. Take sometimes to come up with qualities that you most want to embody. Choose about two or three to focus on for any one period of time. Then try for at least a monthly. Repeat those qualities daily, telling your self that your thing already. Whatever or not you current believe it, say it anyway … again. Take time to tell your self each day, “I am happy and successfully or I am beautiful and bright” or “ I love my body, I feel health and in balance” or “ I am worth and love, I am powerfully and self confidant, I am champion and rich, I am big journalist in Tanzania” What ever qualities you wish to be. You may want to write out those affirmations and post them some place where you will see them regularly, on the bathroom or bedroom, on the mirror, on the refrigerator door, by the clock on your bedroom, a top of your computer monitor, By repeating and reading these phrases you may find you grow into and become these qualities. You may even realize that embodied them all along; you just had not realized it. If you keep giving to others without to giving to your self it’s like pouring water from a versel. If you poor and poor without ever refilling it, eventually it will run dry.

The answer is by loving and giving ourselves, first. Love your self , be good to your self , treat your self well , replenish your self you will discover that, the more you love your self, the more you will be able to love others, and the more others will want to around you and give back to you. This is a win win situation. Loving your self will ultimately benefit the lives of others you encounter, as well as your own life

EVERY GOOD THINGS HAVE SOME WEAKNESS


The major problem of many school or colleges in Tanzania is working facilities. As we see in many institution, The dare s salaam School of Journalism is among them. In every institution there must be library where students go to read books, Computers which are connected with internet inorder to search materials. Also there must be some types of instruments which goes with each subject like still cameras, video shooting cameras and studios for recording sound. It is true the DSj have working facilities but is not enough to cover one class or two classes at the same time.
People say “ In 21 centuary is the age of science and technology, don’t allow your child to join the institution or college which have no working facilities, is better to take your son abroad in any expensive colleges than to stud in Tanzania colleges. Other’s say facilities is not the reason for student to pass examination, many institution have better facilities but still produce under qualified students.
It does not make sense that to take child abroad to stud rather than mothers college he will make him dependent. I am sure that many leaders who are educated from abroad do not love their county.
When you have many working facilities you will not use it all at the same time, but if it is few or less, you will study and use all in short time in capacity of understanding and take care of instruments. As many say “When you hear you will forget, when you see you will remember and when you do you will know.
Now is a time for Management of D S J and shareholders to find the donors and sponsors. This will make the institution better than now, by increasing working facilities, salaries of the worker and motivate them. The Government do not close its eyes for D S J which produce journalists who have high ranks in East Africa, as there is coming an East Africa Community Competition.
