MWANAMKE SHUJAA ALIYEPAMBANA KIVITA NA WAKOLONI WA UTAWALA WA KIJERUMANI

Na Daud Nkuki – Singida

Mwanamke shujaa aliyewaongoza kabila la Wanyaturu katika mapambano dhidi ya utawala wa kijerumani, si mwingine ila ni Leti Kidanka, katika vita vikuu vya pili vya dunia mwaka 1938 hadi 1945.

Kwa mujibu wa familia iliyopo, Leti alizaliwa katika kijiji cha Unyang’ombe – Sekotoure Ilongero. Aliolewa na Nyalandu Mtinangi wa Ukoo wa Lundi (antuamwa Lundi). Katika kijiji cha Matumbo Kitongoji Mikuyu, Kata ya Makuro wilayani Singida vijijini.

Wazazi wake walikuwa waganga wa tiba asilia Kidanka Jilu Msasu na Sita Mughenyi,  Leti naye alirithi uganga huo toka kwa wazazi wake.

Ushujaa wake ulijitokeza zaidi katika ukoo mdogo wa Lundi alikoolewa. Wakati alipowatumia nyuki kama silaha ya kudhoofisha nguvu za maadui wake na kuwasambaratisha walipojaribu kumkaribia.

Maadui wake wakuu, walikuwa ni wakoloni wa Kijerumani wakishirikiana na vibaraka wao wa ukoo wa Unyanjoka ukiongozwa na Igwe Yunga kumkabili mwanamke huyo.

Mapambano hayo yalichukua miaka mitatu 1908 hadi 1910. Kibaraka Igwe alitafuta nguvu za ziada za kukabiliana na Leti alipolileta jeshi la kijerumani kutoka kilimatinde wilayani Manyoni, baada ya wao kushindwa.

Katika pambano hilo la mara ya pili kati ya wajerumani Wanyanjoka na kikosi cha Leti. Wakati askari wa kijerumani aliyejulikana kwa jina moja la “SAUSI” aliuwawa kwa kuchomwa mkuki na mume wa shujaa huyo Nyalandu Mtinangi mwaka 1909.

Leti alipambana na maadui hao mara mbili na kuwashinda. Safari ya tatu mnamo mwaka 1910 hakuweza kufanikiwa kuwashinda, badala yake aliuwawa nyumbani kwake pamoja na mume wake katika kijiji cha Matumbo Kitongoji cha Mikuyu Singida vijijini.

Umaarufu wa Leti ulitokana na ujasiri aliokuwa nao akiwa ni mwanamke, kwa kuwatumia nyuki kama silaha yake ya kuwashambulia maadui huku akisaidiwa na wafuasi wake ambao walikuwa ni mume wake Nyalandu na shemeji yake Hango Linja, wakitumia Mikuki na mishale.

Mwanamke huyo aliongoza mapambano yeye mwenyewe kwa kutoa amri kwa washirika wake kushambulia au kusitisha mapigano katika eneo la vita.

Aidha alijihami kwa kutumia (sumanda) handaki kujificha wasionekane kwa maadui. Hivyo ni baadhi ya vitu vilivyo mjengea umaarufu wa kujulikana katika historia ya mapambano dhidi ya wajerumani.

Kuanguka kwake ni pale dawa zake zilipokosa nguvu, hatimaye kuuwawa, baada ya kusababishwa na mwenzake waliokuwa shirika moja, Sie Ndida mke wa shemeji yake Hango Linja, walioishi eneo moja kujenga urafiki na Igwe Yunga uliomfanya atoe siri ya ushujaa wao.

Sie alirudi kwa siri kwenye eneo la zindiko, bila mwenzake kujua alihamisha dawa zote upande wake. Mwenzake Leti alipojaribu kutumia dawa zake alipowaona adui zake wanakaribia zilishindwa kufanya kazi. Matokeo yake alikutwa nyumbani akijikalia na kupigwa risasi wakiwa na mume wake na kufariki pale pale. Miili yao ilizikwa baada ya siku tatu, watu wakihofia kurudi tena adui zao.

Hapo ukawa mwisho wa mapambano, hawakuendelea kwenda kwa Sie kwa kuwa aliwaonyesha siri ya ushujaa wao. Ukweli huo unadhihirishwa na wimbo wa kinyaturi usemao, “Sie Sie na Leti, asunguatufu, vikhoma Nkingi Vasuka vikuranga …”(maana yake walikuwa wakiimba Sie, Sie na Leti wanawake watupu mamezipiga mambo na kuzingoa mwenyewe).

Leti alikuwa na watoto wanne, wawili wa kiume na wengine wa kike. Kati ya yao watatu moja wa kiume aliitwa  Sang’ida, wasichana ni Nyamughenyi na Sita walikamatwa na kuchukuliwa na wajerumani kupelekwa Dar es salaam, baada ya wazazi wao kuuwawa. Licha ya kuwachukua watoto hao pia walichukua kichwa cha mama yao hadi Ujerumani.

Mtoto mwingine aliyeitwa Kidanka, katika purukushani hizo, aliweza kuwatoroka akiwa na jeraha la risasi ubavuni mwake. Kwa kuwa walikuwa na asili ya uganga, naye alipona na kuendelea na shughuli hiyo mpaka alipofariki mwaka 1980 kijijini hapo.

Mpaka sasa koo hizi mbili Lundi na Unyang’ombe hushirikiana kutambika mara kwa mara, katika eneo husika yalipo makaburi ya watu hao, kwa nia ya kunusuru majanga yanayoweza kutokea.

Familia, jamii inaungana na wazee mkoani Singida, katika risala yao kwa Mkuu wa Mkoa mwaka jana, walipokuwa wakiadhimisha siku ya wazee duniani kuiomba serikali ilipe kupaumbele swala la kurejesha nchini fuvu la kichwa cha shujaa huyu, kama ilivyofanya kwa chifu Mkwawa.

Mwisho.

Tanzania is blessed country due to so many aspect compare to many African countries as well as western, Asia and American countries, journalists is one of professional group who being used to announce this story over the world, but their now hunted innocently

Sometimes Tanzania it’s called Peace Island in the world, this name came because of Tanzanian life style, hospitality, political and security situation, natural wealth especially forest, hills, mountain, minerals water and land

In few days ago Tanzania has observed lot of criminal events that shows that our good image is going to be changed from Peace Island to country of conflict

GAIRO KITUO KIKUU CHA MABASI KANDA YA KATI, ZIWA NA MAGHARIBI

Baadhi ya mabasi yakiwa katika kituo cha Gairo nje kidogo ya mji wa Gairo kwa ajili ya mapumziko mafupi kabla ya kuendelea na safari ndefu kuelekea kanda ya kati, magharibi, kanda ya ziwa na nje ya nchi. Picha na. Prosper Kwigize

Kwa msafiri yeyote aliyewahi kusafiri kutoka Kigoma, Mara, Mwanza, Kagera na hata nchi jirani hataacha kamwe kuifahamu GAIRO,

Gairo ni wilaya Mpya katika mkoa wa Morogoro, wilaya ambayo inazungukwa na wakulima wa mazao mbalimbali ikiwemo vitunguu, nyanya. alizeti na miwa

Katika ukurasa huu, ninakusudia kuzungumza au kukushirikisha kuhusu kituo cha basi na hoteli ya Gairo ambapo maelfu ya wasafiri hupita na kupata ama chai, chakula cha mchana na usiku

Ukifika Gairo hutashangaa kuona purukushani za wasafiri kusaka mlo, na wengine kutafuta mahala pa kusitili miili yao kwa huduma za vyoo.

Hakika Gairo ni kituo kikubwa ambacho kila mtu awapo njiani safarini kwenda Mbeya, morogoro, Dar es Salaam, Mtwara na hata Zanzibar, hulazimika kupumzika hapo kwa dakika chache ili kudhibiti njaa

"Jamani abiria wetu, Hapa ni GAIRO, tutapumzika kwa dakika kumi tu kwa ajilii ya chakula na kuchimba dawa" Ni kauli ya kondakta ambaye mara tuu gari linaposimama yeye hutangulia kwa kazi moja tu kupata chakula, kuchimba dawa na wakati mwingine kutafuta abiria wapya.

Kinachonisukuma kuzungumzia kituo hiki muhimu kwa wasafiri wa ndani na nje ya Tanzania si uzuri wa madhari, majengo mazuri ya kitalii, huduma ya uhakika ya maji na chakula bali pia ni idadi kubwa ya mabasi na wasafiri ambao hupita na kujikimu

pamoja na hayo ninashawishika kuhoji, je halmashauri ya GAIRO kwaoo hichi ni chanzo cha mapato? kama ndiyo ni nani anawajibika kukusanya ushuru wa biashara zinazofanyika hapo pamoja na ushuru wa maegesho kwa magari yanayosimama na kupata huduma hapo, au ni kazi ya mmliki wa hoteli hiyo nzuri?

lakini pia tujiulize vyakula vinavyouzwa hapoo vina ubora uliohakikiwa na wataalamu wa idara ya afya ili kumhakikishia mlaji usalama wake?

Nasema hivyo kwa sababu, baadhi ya abiria siku hizi wakifika Gairoo wanashuka na kuchimba dawa tu (haja ndogo) na hawajishughulishi hata kidogo na kugombania masahani katika hotel hiyo, ukiuliza je! wao hawana njaa? majibu mepesi watakujibu "Usalama wa vyakula vya hapa ni mdogo sana, na isitoshe vikilala wanachanganya na vipya, ilimradi tu wasipate hasara"

Je Kauli hii anaifahamu mmliki wa Hteli hiyo muhimu kwetu wasafiri kutoka nje ya pwani? kama hajui basi mtandao huu wa www.kwigizenews.com, unamuasa kuchunguza usalama na uadilifu wa wauza vyakula ambao sina shaka wengi wao ni wapangaji

Hongera, kwa kuwajari wasafiri.

GAIRO KITUO MKOMBOZI KWA WASAFIRI KOTE TANZANIA

VYANDARUA VYAGEUZWA KUWA VIFUNGASHIO

Wakati serikali ya Tanzania kwa kushirikiana na wahisani wakipambana na tatizo la maralia nchin, baadhi ya wakazi wa manspaa ya Singida wanatumia vyandarua kama vifungashio vya machupa chakavu ya plastiki

Uchunguzi uliofanywa na standard radio katika vitongoji vya mji manspaa ya Singida, umebaini kuwapo kwa shehena kubwa ya machupa na vifaa vingine vya plastiki vilivyofungashwa ndani ya vyangarua katika eneo la msalaba mrefu mjini Singida 

Wakazi wa eneo hilo lililoko jirani na kanisa la kiinjili la kiruteli Tanzania KKKT licha ya kushuhudia kero hiyo ya matumizi kinyume ya vyandarua, hawakuwa tayari kumtaja mhusika wa biashara hiyo

Serikali ya Tanzania kwa msaada wa serikali ya marekani imekuwa ikisambaza vyandarua kwa kila nyumba nchini ili kuhakikisha watanzania hususani wanawake wajawazito na watoto wanaepuka ugonjwa wa maralia

Mwezi Novemba mwaka 2012 waziri mkuu wa Tanzania Mizengo Pinda alizindua kampeni maalum ya kudhibiti maralia

Inakadiriwa takribani watu milioni  10 hadi milioni 12 wanaugua malaria kila mwaka, na malaria husababisha  vifo vya watu kati ya 100,000 hadi 300,000 kila mwaka. Aidha zaidi ya asilimia 40 ya wagonjwa wanaohudhuria katika vituo vya kutolea huduma za afya wanasumbuliwa na ugonjwa wa malaria.
