Already that time this ELCT diocese was shaken by scandals. The management - with knowledge and in conspiracy with the local bishops - stole several 100 Million TSH from different projects in the Makete diocese, not only the hospital as overseas missions tend to lie in support of their brothers and sisters in church crimes.

ELCT and more so the funding overseas missions are since decades shaken by corruption and criminal financial performances. One can not help himself to feel disgusted about bishops and the whole institution (ELCT) of god’s people when reading about their numerous scandals while they are going on displaying to be a moral authority for the country.

BUT certainly much more disgusting are the overseas Lutheran missions and their corrupt directors, who are to blame for their criminal performance. Since years the presiding European bishops tell the public that the donations given for Africa  would help the poor, while they disappear in black holes from Europe to Africa finally ending up in suppressing the poor even more instead of lifting them up. These lies of a corrupt European Church elites are indeed supporting the same criminal elites in Africa. In Europe medieval times where the church could interfere with all sectors of lives, while being corrupt, murderous and cruel, were finally overcome by secular and democratic societies.

Contradicting their loss of power in prospering liberated Europe, it is disgusting that German and Austrian Lutheran Bishops and their missions are obviously intentionally going on to support and sustain corrupt, powerful medieval churches and their criminal deeds and spirit in Africa.

The hypocrites, criminal systems without accounts and audits in Bulongwa are and stay in charge since. Killing ethical persons who have a heart to help their own people by just delivering their expected duties is obviously enough in Tanzania to die.  Being a decent person you come across the corrupt business of criminals, in the church, in NGOs, ministries… that’s obviously enough to die.

Global Fund, international NGOs, Governments… they do nothing but watching and going on to pour cash in the pockets of people who suppress, not help.

It is time to sue the missions at the international human right court in Hague for violating the rights of Africans by supporting corrupt NGOs and churches.

Napenda kuungana na wanamakete wote na hasa wana PIUMA kusikitika juu ya msiba wa Dr. Jumbe Maphingo. Tukiwa kama wagonjwa wa UKIMWI ambao tunahitaji tiba ya mara kwa mara na ya uhakika, tunamhitaji daktari kuliko mtu yeyeyote. Kuuawa kwa Daktari ni kuuawa kwa wadau wa huduma ya afya na watu wanaoishi na VVU wote.

Nchini Tanzania Daktari mmoja kwa wastani anahudumia watu laki moja, kwa hiyo basi kuuawa kwa daktari mmoja ni sawa na kuuawa watu lakini moja na moja. Wanachama wetu wengi walitibia na Dr. Jumbe, na katika madaktari waliotoa tiba na huduma ya kuridhisha alikuwa ni Dr. Jumbe. Wanachama wetu walimpenda na walifanya naye kazi kwa ushirikiano mkubwa, kuuawa kwake ni pigo kubwa sio tu kwa Bulongwa bali ni kubwa zaidi kwetu sisi ambao tulimtegemea kila siku tunapoingia Klinik. Sisi kama wadau wa huduma katika hospitali ya Bulongwa tumeuawa pamoja na Dr. Jumbe.

Wanachama kadhaa wa PIUMA wameonyesha kusikitishwa na tatizo hili. Na tunadhani kanisa (KKKT), Dayosisi (DKK), pamoja Hospitali ya Bulongwa (BLH) wanahitajika kuwajibika kwa tukio hili. Nashangaa kuona viongozi wa hospitali akiwemo mganga Mkuu na mkuu wa chuo cha sayansi ya tiba Dr. John Mscheshi na Mtawala wa Hospitali Edward Masevella bado wanaitwa mganga mkuu na mkuu wa chuo na Mwingine mtawala. Walipaswa kujiuzuru siku nyingi sana ili kusaidia upelelezi utakao baini ukweli wa mambo na sababu zilizopelekea kifo cha Dr. Jumbe. Sio tu kujua ukweli lakini pita itasaidia vyombo vya dola kuweza kuwachukulia hatua watu wote waliohusika na kunyosha mikono yao, kutoa maneno yaliyopelekea Dr. Jumbe Kuuwawa kikatili.

Kanisa lingeweza kuunda tume ndogo itakayofanya uchunguzi wake (internal enquiry) na kubaini ukweli. Timu hiyo ya uchunguzi ionyeshe mianya ya uongozi na kiutendaji iliyopo BLH. Kwa mfano BLH inawajibika kwa DKK katika matatizo tu linapofika suala la pesa BLH inajitenga na uongozi wa DKK. Kwamfano hivi karibuni BLH wamepokea ufadhiri mkubwa kutoka Rapid Fund Envelop (RFE) ambao Dr. Jumbe alikuwa mratibu wake. Vyombo vya dola pamoja na tume ya uchunguzi ichunguze kama mahusiano ya Dr. Jumbe na watendaji wenzake wanaohusika na mfuko huu yalikuwa sawa sawa? Hasa siku za karibuni na kuuawa kwakwe Kama kulikuwa na dosari ningependekeza hapo pawe ndio pa kuanzia kutatua utata unaozingira kifo chake.

Kanisa halijataka kuchukua hatua za makusudi za kufanikisha upelelezi wa jambo hili. Dr. Jumbe hajatendewa haki. Awe alikuwa mbakaji au hapana, hakuna mtu ana ruhusa ya kuhukumu tena hukumu ya Kifo zaidi ya mahakama. Ningependekeza maandamano kwa wanamakete wanaoitakia huduma ya afya mema, yaitishwe maandamano yatakayokuwa na malengo mawili. 1. Kulaani kuuawa kwa daktari 2. Kuieleza dunia jinsi sisi tulivyoathirika na kifo chake, 3. Kulitaka kanisa lichukue hatua zaidi hasa kwa uongozi wa BLH kwa kushindwa kuwalinda madaktari. Mtu asimame amtetee Dr. Jumbe. Mtu asimame amsemee Dr. Jumbe.

Uwezo wa hospitali ya Bulongwa ya kutoa huduma bora umekuwa ukishuka kila siku. Hopsitali imekosa vitendea kazi muhimu, hospitali imekosa watalaam na huduma imekuwa ya ghari sana. Kama hakuna huduma bora na nafuu ya tiba athari zake ni kubwa na hata huweza kusababisha KIFO kwa watumiaji wa huduma hiyo.

PIUMA tunasimama leo na kudai haki za tiba Bora, Kanisa liwajibike kwa kifo cha Dr. Jumbe. PIUMA tunadai kuwa na huduma inayokidhi mahitaji ya wanachama wake. TUNATAKA TIBA BORA. 

The motive behind the murder of a specialist medical worker, Dr Jumbe Maphingo, who was working with Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital in Makete District, Iringa Region, remains a mystery.

According to the Iringa Regional Police Commander (RPC), Mr Evarist Mangala, police are still investigating the matter following the murder in which medical college students are implicated. The students are suspected to have attacked the deceased on May 23, this year, at his home.

Mr Mangala said that the police reached the crime scene on the very night the murder occurred. It, however, took the law enforcers about half an hour to reach the place. The distance between the police station and the crime scene is about 30 km.

The RPC said that four arrests have been made so far and that the suspects have already been paraded in a court of law. They are in remand awaiting completion of police investigation.

The RPC told this newspaper that the late Dr Maphingo was hit on the head by the suspects with a heavy object. The attack led to profuse bleeding. The victim died on the way to hospital.

The Police Commander said that the medical college, whose students have been implicated in the murder and arrested, continues with its operations as usual.

He said that in order to reinforce security the Police Force will involve members of the public in maintaining peace in the area as investigation into the murder continues.

However, sources at Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital have confirmed that there was a power struggle at the medical college, whose name is yet to be revealed. The college offers diploma education in dental therapy and certificates in nursing.

A source at the hospital, who wished to remain anonymous, said that it was clear that the late Dr Maphingo had been lined up for a “very senior position,” a situation that could have prompted his murder.

Describing the circumstances of the murder, the Hospital Administrator, Mr Edward Masevel, said that a female medical college student went to the deceased’s home at around 9:00 pm on the day of the murder.

He said that under normal circumstances students were not allowed to visit the doctors. He added that the female student’s visit was clearly a violation of college rules.

Independent sources told this newspaper that a gang of rowdy students appeared at the deceased’s residence wielding machetes and sticks soon after the female student entered the deceased’s house.

It was at this juncture the female student wailed complaining that she was being raped. The student gang entered the murder victim’s house and battered him to death. Following the murder seven students have been arrested including the female student.

The students are still in custody, according to the source. The Hospital Administrator also described the late Dr Maphingo as a good medical doctor who abided by professional ethics.

“We were all shocked to hear allegations of rape because this man had strong integrity in the community and in the medical profession,” he said.

Since the late Dr Maphingo was in charge of discipline in the college and had also been lined up for a higher professional post, it was likely that he had made enemies of some sort, he said.

“We don’t believe that he ever attempted to harm anyone. He was a very religious and ethical man,” he said. The administrator said that college authorities have been advised by police not to close the institute so that they allow investigation to continue smoothly.

Speaking to the Daily news on Saturday the District Commissioner, Ms. Zeinab said that she had attended the burial of the late Dr Maphingo and advised the Bulongwa community to remain calm and allow the law to take its course.

Some doctors who talked to this reporter described the late Dr Maphingo as a man of God.

According to Dr Issa, the late Dr Maphingo was strictly ethical and professional. He was a keen Muslim who made a pilgrimage to Mecca every year.

The late Dr Maphingo was born in Tanga in 1965. He studied in Russia for his first medical degree. He then joined Muhimbili University College of Health and Allied Sciences.

He worked for several years in government hospitals before joining Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital.

Who killed Veneranda? (To watch a video click on the link)

Veneranda, who died at the age of 17, stands as a symbol of all People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Bulongwa/ Makete District/ Tanzania, who were denied state-of-the-art treatment due to the misuse and theft of funds designated for their health care.

The documentary is dedicated to the 70 HIV-patients – many of them activists from the HIV/AIDS self-help group PIUMA (piuma-simba.org) – who died unnecessarily since 2006 due to the lack of decent HIV-care.

Kumetokea mabadiliko  katika kiwango cha kufaulu kwa wanafunzi  tofauti na mwaka  uliopita  katika shule ya sekondari  Iwawa iliyopo wilayani Makete.

 Akizungumuza  mkuu wa  shule hiyo  Bw OMATH SANGA  amesema jumla ya  wanafunzi mia moja kumi na nane waliofanya mtihani wa Taifa,  wanafunzi wawili wamepata  divisheni one , wanafunzi  kumi na tatu wamepata divisheni two  na wanafunzi thelathini na saba wamepata divisheni three, wakati wanafunzi wane wamepata divisheni ziro.

Mwalimu OMATH SANGA  amesema mpaka sasa  hajapata tathimini  ya kujua  shule yake  imepanda kiasi gani  au imeshuka  kiasi gani  kulingana na shule zingine ,na  hivyo mwisho  amewaomba wananchi  kutambua  umuhimu wa kuwatafutia nafasi za masomo watoto wao.

Katika  uwanja wa Luvanyina uliopo kata ya Bulongwa , kumefanyika mechi ya kirafiki  ya mpira wa miguu kati ya shule ya sekondari ya mwakavuta na shule ya sekondari kipagalo.

Kwani  shule hizo zimekutana  ikiwa mwakavuta sekondari ni kongwe  ilianza mwaka 1992 na  Kipagalo ilanza mwaka 2007.

Mchezo huo ulianza  mnamo muda wa saa kumi kamili alasili na mchezo huo uliendeshwa na refarii Bw Timu Sanga. Mnamo dakika ya kumi na mbili  Kipagalo walianza kuandika goli la kwanza kupitia kwa mchezaji wao Noah Sanga huku Mwakavuta wakiwa hawajapata kitu, mpira uliendelea  huku mwakavuta  wakiendelea kushambuliwa  na dakika ya  thelathini na saba  Kipagalo walifunga goli la pili kupitia kwa mshambuliaji wao Juma Nsemwa , hadi mpira unakwenda mapumziko  Kipagalo mbili na Mwakavuta  sifuri.

Kipindi cha pili kilianza kwa nguvu sana pande zote mbili,  huku Mwakavuta  Sekondari  wakishambulia kwa nguvu sana goli la Kipagalo  na dakika ya  hamsini na nne mwakavuta wafunga goli la kwanza kupitia kwa mchezaji wao Partson Mbogela na dakika  ya sitini na tisa  Mwakavuta walifunga goli la pili kupitia kwa mchezaji wao Frank Fungo lililo fungwa kwa njia ya faulo , na Mwakavuta walizidi kuliandama goli la Kipagalo  huku kipagalo wakizidi kuchoka  , mnamo dakika ya  themanini na tatu mwakavuta walifunga goli la tatu kupitia kwa mchezaji wao Regi Sanga  na dakika ya tisini na mbili za nyongeza  mwakavuta walifunga goli la nne kupitia kwa mchezaji wao  yuleyule  Frank Fungo   hadi mpira unamalizika  Mwakavuta Sekondari nne na Kipagalo Sekondari mbili.

Mwalimu wa  michezo wa shule ya Sekondari ya Kipagalo  alisema  kwamba  nimekubali matokeo  kwani mpira wa miguu una matokeo ya aina tatu  kufunga , kufungwa na kutoa sale , naye mwalimu wa Mwakavuta  sekondari alisema kwamba nimefurahi sana na ushindi  kwani kipindi cha kwanza tulitangulizwa goli mbili bila  nilipata tabu kwani kwa sasa nina jiandaa  wiki ijayo  kuwapeleka  vijana  wangu  kucheza na shule ya Sekondari Ipelele.

Akisoma taarifa ya shamba hilo kwa mkuu wa mkoa wa Iringa  MH MOHAMEDI ABDILAZIZI  mwakilishi wa  shamba hilo  amesema lengo la shamba hilo  ni kuongeza ng’ombe wazalishaji  pamoja na kufufua zaidi  ya hekta hamsini  za malisho kwa kutoa  magugu na kuweka mbolea.

Amesema kwa kufanya hivyo  utaboresha  uzalishaji mkubwa wa kiwanda  hicho kwa upande  wa ulaji wa ng’ombe  wenye afya na uzito  wa kutosha punde  unapofika wakati wa kuuzwa. Amesema mbali na  hatua hiyo  pia shamba lina mpango  wa kuongeza   ng’ombe  katika kundi la ukamilishaji kufikia ng’ombe  mia mbili ili kupata ndama bora  kwa ajili ya kusambaza kwa wakulima.

Malengo mengine ni  kuboresha upatikanaji wa maji hasa wakati wa kiangazi  pamoja na kutengeneza njia za ndani ya shamba hili  zipitike wakati wote  na kumalisha  ukarabati wa nyumba za watumishi pamoja na kuendelea  kuingiza umeme kwenye nyumba za watumishi.

Imefahamika  kuto jipenda  kwa baadhi ya akina  mama na kutokuwa na  ubunifu  wa miradi ndio  sababisho  kubwa  kuwafanya wanaume  kuleta visa  katika ndoa zao.

Wakichangia   dondoo  za maisha  katika kipindi  cha mtazamo  cha Kitulo FM Redio  , baadhi ya wachangiaji  hao wamesema  matatizo hayo katika ndoa  yanasababishwa na wanawake wenyewe kwa kukosa ubunifu katika  ndoa zao.

Aidha wamesema  wakati mwingine  baadhi ya wanawake  hujisahau mara wanapokuwa  ndani  ya ndoa zao  pamoja na kuacha  kuboresha usafi katika familia zao. Pia imeonekana  baadhi ya akina baba  wamekosa elimu ya ndoa  pamoja na uvumilivu.

Kipindi cha mtanzamo hurushwa kila jumatatu na ijumaa  kuanzia saa tatu kamili asubuhi  mpaka  saa saba kamili mchana  katika  studio za KITULO FM RADIO.

Katika kata ya Iniho wamejipatia Josho  kwa ajili ya kuogeshea ng’ombe. Afisa mifugo wa kata ya hiyo  Bw. Nova  alisema kwamba  tumepata josho hili kwa malengo ya kuogeshea ng’ombe  ili kuua wadudu kama kupe na nk.

Pia alisema josho hili  ni letu sisi wenyewe kinachotakiwa  kila mwananchi mwenye ng’ombe  anapokuja kuogesha  atalipia shilinngi mia moja kwa kila ng’ombe na hizo fedha zitafanya kazi ya kutengenezea josho pale linapo halibika na kununulia dawa za kuogeshea ng’ombe.

Na mwisho alisema kuwa itapangwa ratiba ya kuogesha ng’ombe kwa vijiji  kwani kwa mwezi ni mara moja na kwa yule ambaye ataonekana ajaogesha ng’ombe atachukuliwa hatua ya kisheria
