Vijana wa Mwanjelwa walivyogeuza kucha, rangi kuwa dili

Mbeya. Soko la Mwanjelwa lililopo jijini Mbeya ni miongoni mwa masoko yanayowakutanisha wafanyabiashara wa bidhaa na huduma mbalimbali, lakini ndani yake kuna kundi la vijana lililogeuza upakaji rangi na ubandikaji kucha kuwa chanzo cha kipato.

Kwa vijana hao, kazi hiyo imekuwa fursa ya kujitafutia kipato halali na kujikwamua kiuchumi, huku wakikabiliana na changamoto mbalimbali, ikiwamo vishawishi kutoka kwa baadhi ya wateja na mazingira ya kazi.

Kwa nyakati tofauti, Mwananchi imefika sokoni hapo na kuzungumza na baadhi yao kuhusu kazi hiyo na maisha yao kwa ujumla.

Twabi Mawea, mkazi wa Tunduru mkoani Ruvuma, anasema tangu alipowasili Mbeya miaka miwili iliyopita, kazi hiyo imekuwa mkombozi kwake.

Anasema aliacha masomo ya sekondari kutokana na changamoto za maisha na kuamua kujikita katika shughuli hiyo.

“Kwa siku naingiza takriban Sh50,000, kutegemea aina ya huduma anayohitaji mteja. Kiwango cha chini ni Sh28,000 kwa mtu mmoja. Sijutii kazi hii, imenipa heshima kifamilia,” anasema.

Rafael Jackson, mkazi wa Ikuti anayefanya kazi hiyo kwa mwaka mmoja sasa, anasema imebadilisha maisha yake ikilinganishwa na alipokuwa akiendesha bodaboda.

“Nina uhakika wa mahitaji muhimu ya familia. Kwa siku naweza kuondoka na Sh60,000 baada ya kugawana na bosi wangu, ingawa wakati mwingine kipato huongezeka kulingana na mzunguko,” anasema.

Kijana mwingine, Erick Samuel, anasema kazi hiyo imemwezesha kufungua kituo cha uwakala wa fedha na hana mpango wa kuacha kwa kuwa anaona fursa kubwa ya kujikwamua.

Anasema kazi hiyo haihitaji elimu kubwa na inafanywa na watu wenye viwango tofauti vya elimu.

Hata hivyo, vijana hao wanasema baadhi ya wateja huleta changamoto, hasa wanapohitaji huduma nyumbani.

Mawea anasema wakati mwingine mavazi na mienendo ya baadhi ya wateja huwaweka katika mazingira magumu.

“Tunakutana na vishawishi vingi. Mteja anakuita nyumbani kwake, lakini mazingira unayokutana nayo yanaweza kukupa ugumu. Kwa kuwa tumeamua kutafuta riziki kupitia kazi hii, tunavumilia,” anasema.

Jackson anasema kwa kuwa sehemu kubwa ya wateja wao ni wanawake, baadhi ya mazingira wanayokutana nayo yanahitaji umakini mkubwa.

Vijana hao pia wanasema wanachukua tahadhari dhidi ya maambukizi kwa kutumia barakoa na glovu, hasa wanapokutana na wateja wenye michubuko.

Samuel anasema pia huwa makini na vumbi linalotokana na kucha bandia pamoja na harufu ya rangi wanazotumia.

“Tunashika miili ya watu tofauti na wengine huwa na michubuko. Pia hatujui madhara ya baadhi ya rangi tunazotumia, hivyo tunashauriwa kuvaa barakoa na glovu,” anasema.

Akizungumzia suala la mitaji, Mawea anasema licha ya kipato wanachopata, bado wanakabiliwa na changamoto ya mitaji na hawakuwa na taarifa za kutosha kuhusu mikopo inayotolewa na Serikali kupitia halmashauri.

“Bado hatujawahi kuomba mikopo kwa sababu hatukujua mapema. Sasa tutashirikiana na wenzangu kuomba. Hii ni kazi halali na tunalipa kodi, tatizo ni mtaji tu,” anasema.

Emmy Casian, mteja wa huduma hizo, anasema vijana hao wanafanya kazi muhimu inayosaidia kuwabadilisha wateja mwonekano.

Happy Sanga anasema baadhi ya wateja wanapaswa kuepuka kuingiza masuala binafsi wakati wa kupata huduma kwa kuwa hali hiyo inaweza kuwaathiri wahudumu.

Mbunge wa Mbeya Mjini, Patrick Mwalunenge, anasema atatembelea makundi mbalimbali ya wajasiriamali, likiwamo kundi hilo, kusikiliza changamoto zao na kutafuta namna ya kuboresha mazingira ya biashara.

Akizungumza kwa niaba ya Mkurugenzi wa Jiji la Mbeya, Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Maliasili, Utalii na Hifadhi ya Mazingira, Anamary Joseph, anasema Serikali imetenga asilimia 10 ya mapato kwa ajili ya mikopo kwa vijana, wanawake na makundi maalumu.

Anasema kikundi cha watu kuanzia watano kinaweza kukopa hadi Sh150 milioni kwa ajili ya shughuli za kiuchumi, hivyo kuwataka vijana kutumia fursa hiyo.

GIZ YAAHIDI KUTOA EURO MILIONI 39.8 KWA AJILI YA KUIMARISHA BIASHARA YA KIKANDA.

Na,Jusline Marco;Arusha

Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki (EAC) na Jamhuri ya Shirikisho ya Ujerumani zimethibitisha upya nia yao ya kuendeleza ushirikiano wa kikanda kufuatia kuhitimishwa kwa majadiliano ya 

Ushirikiano wa Maendeleo, huku Ujerumani ikiahidi kutoa ruzuku mpya ya Euro milioni 39.8 kwa ajili ya kuimarisha biashara ya kikanda na ushirikiano wa kiuchumi katika eneo hilo.

Akizungumza wakati wa mkutano wa pande mbili na ujumbe huo wa kusaini makubaliano ya fedha hizo, Katibu Mkuu wa Jumuiya hiyo Balozi Stephen P.  Mbundi ameushukuru uongozi wa Jamhuri ya Shirikisho ya Ujerumani kwa kuwa mshirika wa muda mrefu wa EAC, huku akibainisha kuwa ushirikiano endelevu wa nchi hiyo umechangia kwa kiasi kikubwa katika safari ya Jumuiya hiyo ya ushirikiano wa kikanda.

Kwa upande wake Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa EAC anayeshughulikia Masuala ya Forodha, Biashara na Fedha, Bi. Annette Ssemuwemba, mbali na kuushukuru ujumbe huo kwa dhamira yao ya kuiunga mkono Jumuiya hiyo, alibainisha kuwa mazungumzo hayo yalifanyika wakati mwafaka ambapo EAC inaanzisha utekelezaji wa Mkakati wake wa 7 wa Maendeleo.

” Tunaishukuru Ujerumani kwa kukaa nasi mezani ili kupitia upya vipaumbele vyetu na kubainisha maeneo ambayo tunaweza kushirikiana ili kupata matokeo, hii ndiyo roho ya ushirikiano na uwajibikaji wa pamoja ambayo ni muhimu katika kufikia malengo ya ajenda yetu ya ushirikiano wa kikanda,” alisema Bi. Ssemuwemba.

Mazungumzo hayo yalilenga katika kuunga mkono Mkakati wa 7 wa Maendeleo wa EAC, wakati wa majadiliano hayo, Ujerumani na EAC zilikubaliana kuwa jukumu kuu ni kuendeleza zaidi Biashara ya Afrika Mashariki na ushirikiano wa kiuchumi wa kanda hiyo ambapo Ujerumani imeahidi kutoa ruzuku ya euro milioni 39.8 kwa ajili ya lengo hili.

Naye Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Afrika Mashariki na Kati katika Wizara ya Shirikisho ya Ushirikiano wa Kiuchumi na Maendeleo (BMZ), Joachim Schmitt, akizungumza alisema kuwa “Afrika Mashariki ndiyo kanda inayokua kwa kasi zaidi, ikishuhudia ongezeko la asilimia 14 katika biashara ya ndani ya EAC, pamoja na kukua kwa kiasi cha biashara ndani ya AfCFTA na nje ya bara hilo, amesema kanda hiyo ni kitovu cha kuvutia  uwekezaji kwa sekta binafsi ya Ujerumani na Ulaya inayopenda kujihusisha na biashara na uendelezaji wa mnyororo wa thamani.

Aliongeza kuwa kupitia ushirikiano huo wamelenga kuunga mkono ushirikiano wa kibiashara unaozingatia kanuni na sheria, maendeleo ya kiuchumi ya kikanda, pamoja na kuimarisha ushiriki wa sekta binafsi ambapo fedha zilizotengwa zitalenga kuimarisha upatikanaji wa huduma za kifedha kwa biashara ndogo ndogo na za kati katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki (EAC) kupitia ushirikiano kati ya benki ya maendeleo ya Ujerumani na Benki ya Maendeleo ya Afrika Mashariki huku sehemu ya fedha hizo zitaboresha upatikanaji wa fedha kwa biashara hizo kupitia ushirikiano kati ya  Benki hizo.

Sambamba na hayo washirika wote wawili walisisitiza umuhimu wa ushirikiano wa karibu na uratibu na asasi za kiraia, sekta binafsi na washirika wa maendeleo ili kuimarisha ushirikiano wa kikanda ambapo Ujerumani itaendelea kufanya kazi kwa karibu na Umoja wa Ulaya pamoja na nchi zote wanachama zinazoshiriki, ili kusaidia mipango ya kikanda katika nyanja za biashara, mabadiliko ya kidijitali, afya, usimamizi wa maji ya mipakani, asasi za kiraia na maendeleo endelevu ya kiuchumi.

Aliongeza kuwa katika mgao wa fedha hizo,  kiasi cha Euro milioni 4.8 kimetengwa kama msaada wa ziada ili kukabiliana na mlipuko wa Ebola unaoendelea ambapo fedha hizi zitaelekezwa kwenye hatua za moja kwa moja za kujiandaa, kuzuia na kukabiliana na Ebola, pamoja na kuimarisha kwa ujumla uwezo na uratibu wa kikanda, shughuli hizo ambazo zitatekelezwa kupitia mradi wa EAC/GIZ unaoitwa “Support to Pandemic Preparedness in the EAC Region” (PanPrep), ambao umekuwa ukilisaidia eneo hilo tangu mwaka 2017.

Rasilimali hizo za ziada zitagharamia hatua mahususi za kukabiliana na Ebola, ikiwa ni pamoja na mafunzo ya kivitendo ya kuzuia na kudhibiti maambukizi (IPC) kwa wahudumu wa afya walio mstari wa mbele, ununuzi na usambazaji wa vifaa maalum vya kujikinga (PPE) dhidi ya Ebola, kuimarisha utayari wa kikanuni ili kuharakisha upatikanaji wa chanjo zinazoweza kutumika dhidi ya Ebola, dawa na hatua nyingine za kimatibabu, pamoja na shughuli za kuielimisha jamii ili kupunguza kusita kupokea chanjo na kuunga mkono kampeni zijazo za chanjo dhidi ya Ebola.

Alibainisha kuwa hatua zote zitatekelezwa kwa ushirikiano wa karibu na Sekretarieti ya EAC pamoja na nchi husika wanachama, na zitaendana na Mpango wa Bara wa Kujiandaa na Kukabiliana na Ebola unaoongozwa na Africa CDC na WHO, ili kuhakikisha kunakuwa na ufanisi unaokamilisha juhudi za kikanda na kimataifa za kukabiliana na janga hilo.

By Matukio Daima Media  

Iringa Regional Commissioner, Kheri James, has commended the investment made in Golden Glow Hotel, located in Kihodombi, Isakalilo Ward, Iringa Municipality, saying the investment will help boost the tourism sector and the economy of the region.

Kheri James made the remarks during the official launch of the hotel, where he explained that the availability of quality accommodation services is important in encouraging tourists and visitors coming to Iringa to stay longer instead of travelling to neighbouring regions in search of such services.

He said Iringa has numerous tourist attractions and various economic opportunities, making it important to continue investing in hotels, transport and other services related to tourism.

“This investment is important because it gives tourists visiting Iringa a good place to stay, increasing the possibility of them remaining here instead of travelling to neighbouring regions in search of accommodation,” he said.

The Regional Commissioner urged residents of Iringa who live outside the region to return and take advantage of the available opportunities by investing in various sectors, emphasizing that the development of the region requires the active participation of its own people.

He said the government has continued to create a conducive environment for investment and urged citizens to take advantage of these opportunities instead of relying solely on investors from outside the region.

“It is the responsibility of the people of Iringa Region to take advantage of the available opportunities and invest. The government has continued to create a favourable investment environment, so citizens should use these opportunities for their own development and for the development of the region as a whole,” he said.

Kheri James also highlighted the completion of the construction of Iringa Airport as a major opportunity for residents and business people, saying the passenger terminal building is in its final stages of completion.

He said the airport could increase the number of tourists, business people and investors visiting Iringa, which would consequently increase demand for various services.

He urged residents to start preparing to take advantage of these opportunities by investing in hotels, restaurants, transportation, tourism, guest houses and other related services.

“The major opportunity at the moment is the completion of the construction of Iringa Airport. The passenger terminal building is nearing completion, so it is the responsibility of the people of Iringa Region to take advantage of this opportunity. If we delay, visitors will take advantage of these opportunities,” he said.

He further said investment in the hotel sector is part of efforts to strengthen tourism in the region, stressing the importance of cooperation between the private sector and the government in making effective use of available economic opportunities.

Kheri James said the Sixth Phase Government under President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan has continued to create a favourable investment environment in the country, urging citizens to use the opportunities to build the economies of their families, communities and the nation.

Speaking at the ceremony, Golden Glow Hotel Director, Ernest Mtavilalo, thanked the Regional Commissioner for accepting the invitation to become the guest of honour and officially launch the hotel.

Mtavilalo said the launch was highly significant to him and his family, explaining that the completion of the project was the result of a journey that required perseverance, advice, love and cooperation.

“I thank God for enabling us to reach this important day of the official launch of Golden Glow Hotel. It is a day that means a great deal to me and my family,” he said.

He expressed special appreciation to his family, particularly his wife and brother, for standing by him throughout the journey.

“I would like to thank my family, especially my wife and my brother, for standing with me throughout this journey. It was not an easy journey, but your love, advice, patience and support played a major role in making this dream a reality,” he said.

He also thanked the technicians, engineers and everyone who participated in the construction and preparations of the hotel, saying each person contributed to the successful completion of the project.

Mtavilalo said Golden Glow Hotel is not merely a building to him, but a dream that has become a reality and a commitment to providing employment opportunities and contributing to the development of the Iringa community.

“To me, Golden Glow is not just a building; it is a dream that has become a reality and our commitment to providing employment and contributing to the development of our community here in Iringa,” he said.

He said the hotel aims to provide services to visitors coming to Iringa while contributing to the growth of economic activities in the region.

Mtavilalo concluded by thanking leaders, invited guests, relatives, friends and all those who attended the ceremony, saying their presence made the occasion a special one.

Iringa District Commissioner, Benjamin Sitta, said the launch of Golden Glow Hotel has increased investment in the hospitality sector in the district and created more opportunities for employment and accommodation services for visitors.

He also emphasized the importance of residents taking advantage of investment opportunities emerging from the growth of tourism and the development of infrastructure in the region.

Akizungumza wakati wa ziara hiyo, Waziri Kapinga amesema Serikali inalenga kuboresha huduma za afya ili wananchi wapate matibabu kwa urahisi na kuendelea na shughuli zao za uzalishaji, hivyo kuimarisha uchumi wa familia na Taifa.

UPANUZI UWANJA WA NDEGE SINGIDA WAANZA KWA FIDIA

‎

‎Elisante John, Singida,

‎‎Hatua ya Serikali kupanua Uwanja wa Ndege wa Singida imeibua ombi kutoka kwa wananchi, kuondolewa kwenye maeneo yao, wakiomba thamani ya ardhi inayotumika katika fidia, ipandishwe kutoka Sh. 8,000 hadi Sh.10,000, kwa mita ya mraba.

‎‎Mthamini wa Ardhi Mkoa wa Singida, Zablon Mwalyasi, amesema upanuzi huo unahusisha kuongeza ekari 316.6 kutoka maeneo ya wananchi yaliyo pembezoni mwa uwanja. Amesema lengo ni kuboresha huduma za usafiri wa anga, kwa kuwa uwanja uliopo hautoshelezi mahitaji ya sasa.

‎Mwalyasi amesema kila mwananchi atakayepitiwa na zoezi hilo atalipwa fidia kwa kuzingatia thamani halisi ya ardhi na mali zilizopo. Amesema mali hizo ni pamoja na majengo, miti na maendeleo mengine yanayotambuliwa kisheria.

‎‎Ameongeza kuwa wananchi watastahili pia posho mbalimbali, ikiwamo ya usumbufu, makazi, upangaji na gharama za kuhamisha mali. Amewataka wananchi kuwa wazi wakati wa uthamini na kuwaruhusu wataalamu kukagua mali zote ili kuhakikisha thamani halisi inapatikana.

‎Baadhi ya wananchi, akiwamo Charles Rwegoshora, Shabani Nyuda, Karani Kisuke, Hassan Irunde na Diwani wa Kata ya Mandewa, Yusufu Makera, wameomba thamani hiyo ipandishwe kutoka Sh. 8,000 hadi Sh10,000, kwa mita ya mraba. Mwalyasi amesema atalifikisha ombi hilo kwa mamlaka husika kwa ajili ya uamuzi.

‎‎Kwa upande wake, mwakilishi wa Ofisi ya Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Singida, Bornege Tatwebwa, amesema upanuzi wa uwanja huo utaongeza fursa za usafiri wa anga na kuchochea maendeleo ya kiuchumi. Pia amewapongeza wananchi kwa ushirikiano wanaouonesha katika kuunga mkono zoezi hilo.
