ANZANIA is now in the process of setting up the Diaspora Initiative, in a move designed to harness human and financial resources outside the country for social and economic development.

The Tanzania Diaspora Conference, Expo & Gala Dinner 2014 was held in Dar es Salaam at the Serena Hotel.

The unique conference brought together the Tanzania Diaspora Initiative and the Prime

Minister’s Office.

Tanzanians living abroad had their meeting in Dar es Salaam to discuss the challenges they are facing and propose solutions to problems bedeviling the country. The President was on hand at the opening of the Diaspora Homecoming Conference in Dar es Salaam.

President Jakaya Kikwete stated that Tanzanians living abroad contribute significantly to the country’s development through remittances and

investment. Furthermore, he also requested them to persuade and illustrate the significance of dual citizenship to members of the Constituent Assembly (CA) to ensure the issue is included in the ongoing debates for the envisaged new constitution.

The First Diaspora Homecoming Conference 2014 also involves stakeholders from the business community, who were expected to present papers on the changing face of investment and the policy

and business environment in Tanzania.

“President Jakaya Kikwete, when opening the two-day meeting, explained that Tanzanians living abroad could contribute significantly to the country’s development through remittances and investment. ‘There is no country in the world that has developed without investment. You, therefore, need to invest in your country and convince more investors

to come in bigger numbers to our country in order to boost our development,’ he said. He added that they should also look for external markets for locally produced goods.”

President Jakaya Kikwete has challenged Tanzanians in the Diaspora to scout markets for home products in the countries they live in as well as to invite investors to the many opportunities available in the country.

the Diaspora from at least 17 countries that they should aim at developing Tanzania by influencing investors from those countries to invest at home.

“We need markets for our crops, we need technical skills, and capital… all these are found abundantly in developed countries where you (Diaspora members) live.

Help us find them so that our country can also develop,” Kikwete said.

According to the President, if the Diaspora members do not bother to look for what he described as ‘tools of development’ including capital, Tanzania’s development will stagnate.

In a different development, the President said it is unfortunate that the matter 16 I Dar Life I September 2014

of dual citizenship was not included in the first draft of the constitution but commended ongoing efforts to address the issue urging the Diaspora members to participate to the best of their abilities.

Early this month, President Kikwete made an address to Tanzanians living in Washington, D.C., reminding them of the vital significance of every Tanzanian participating in the review process and noting that the outcome of the review process would affect each and every citizen residing in the country or abroad.

Speaking at the same event, Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda stated that members of the Diaspora must utilize the meeting that has brought them together to discuss how they can develop their nation,

homes and relatives.

Detailing on the meeting, the Tanzania Diaspora Initiative Executive Director, Emanuel Mwachullar, said the meeting brought together members of the Diaspora from various countries. They include the United Kingdom, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Cambodia, Singapore, and United States of America.

The two-day gathering was to create a One Stop Shop where the Diaspora can access information they need any time. The intention is to work with stakeholders with a common goal of creating a contact data bank where we know whom to talk to, where they live and what we can do together as Tanzanians.

Barclay’s Steps Ahead in Community Save two lives with every step you take

By Emma Mbaga

In 2008, the initiative, through the support of Barclay’s employees, customers and friends, raised funds for cancer treatment at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI). Specifically, the funds helped pay for treatment for children whose parents or guardians were unable to meet the costs.

“Since 2011, the program has served as a platform to raise awareness for maternal ahealth care in Tanzania. This initiative is geared to raise funds to facilitate capacity building and training of midwives and fistula treatment in Tanzania through its partners Comprehensive Community-Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT) and African Medical Research 24 I Dar Life I September 2014

Each year the fund raising efforts are culminated by the Step Ahead charity walk. “ Step Ahead Charity Walk 2014 will be held on 25th October and will include a 6km walk followed by a full day of family fun and entertainment at Leaders Club grounds in Kinondoni.

Barclay’s takes on maternal and infant health as its flagship cause in order to address the march towards achieving the 2015 MDG goals on maternal and infant health.

he Indian Council for Cultural Relations aims to promote Indian culture to foster and strengthen cultural relations and mutual understanding among people world-wide.

The council sponsored a performance of Ms. Vani Madhav, a famous classical dancer of Odissi, featuring one of the five classical dances of India.

Classical dance is an inseparable component of the cultural fabric of India.

It is an expression of joy and is reflected in the movements of each and every form of the classical dance. Rhythm springs spontaneously from the steps of the dancers and bhava which is the essence of dance, flows from the communicative eyes and provides ecstasy and bliss. All these elements were on show in Zanzibar at a performance organized by the Indian Consulate coinciding with the 68th Independence Day of India, in association with the people of Indian origin, friends of India and the hospitality Industry of Zanzibar at the historical Old Fort amphitheater on 17th August 2014.

drum) player to provide a live music set to Indian ragas. She presented an hourlong performance in four parts. In the first part, she presented customary invocation, entitled Panchabhuta Mangalacharan.

Panchabhuta is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘five elements’ or ‘constituents’. According to ancient Indian philosophy, the universe is composed of panchabhutas. Even the body and food is derived from this. Prithvi (earth), Apa (water), Tejas (fire), Vayu (air), and Akash (ether) are the five elements of panchabhuta. These elements are kept in a certain balance in the universe and the body.

The variation in this balance ends in natural disasters, and diseases in the body. In India, there are temples devoted to the Panchabhuta called ‘Panchabhuta Kshetras,’ each of which represents one of the Panchabhuta. This compositon was in Raag Malika set to Taal Malika. The invocatory items was followed by Pallavi (Pure Nritta), a beautiful peace in Odissi, which means a blossomed flower, as the flower opens slowly, this pallavi also starts slow and proceeds towards fast beats.

This is completely Nritta-oriented. This 28 I Dar Life I September 2014

composition was set to Raag Kalavati, Taal Ektaal. Later she performed a dance dedicated to the Indian gods Krishna, Radha and Lord Shiva. While the Krishna/ Radha part of the piece portrays the beauty of Krishna and Radha’s romantic moments, Shivastakam dance is an invocation to Siva, whereby the bhakta (dancer) eulogizes his attributes and triumphs. “PRANAMAMI SIVAM SIVA KALPATARUM” - Lord Siva, who is the beloved of Parvati and the canvas of all creation.

The enthralling performance was highly enjoyed by the large audience. Ms. Madhav and her troupe received standing ovation. The audience urged that such performances should be repeated several times in a year coinciding with the signature cultural events of Zanzibar like Zanzibar Film Festival, Zanzibar Fashion Week and the Jahazi Literary Festival.

Special thanks to the event sponsors including Maru-Maru hotel, Jafferjee House, Arabian Nites Hotel & Resorts, Turkey Group, Bopar Enterprises, Muzammil Limited, Suma Group, and Kutchi Memon Zamat of Zanzibar.

eautiful dwellers of this beautiful city turned it up a notch on August 7th 2014 when “URBAN VIBES - GHETTO TECH EDITION” showed up at the upscale venue Rhapsody with the International DJ ACT “CRAZY WHITE BOY” who performed chart-topping house tunes live all the way from Cape Town, South Africa.

“The future of dance music in South Africa” - Crazy White Boy is the brainchild of South African producers Ryan Murgatroyd and Konstantinos Karatamoglou. Both experienced and successful DJs and producers in their own right, the pair met and collaborated. Together they

32 I Dar Life I September 2014

have worked their way up from bedroom producers into a powerful, leading presence in the South African music market as well as the rest of the world.

Compelled to try and add a fresh twist to this style of music, they set about writing with an African kwaito style, which they call “Ghetto Tech”.

Their initial aim was to deliver a sound that stands out and challenges the local and international ear. The result has been the production of multiple Gold and Platinum albums featuring their tracks.

International record labels that have collaborated with Murgatroyd and Karatamoglou include Kontor, Onelove,

Ministry of Sound, Cr2, F! Records and local powerhouse Soul Candi.

Their “music first” policy has allowed them to showcase their sound to some of the most unlikely suspects including David Guetta and Steve Aoki, and to crowds of over 75 000 people.

The duo is currently touring the country road-testing the new records on their forthcoming 2nd Studio Album. “Ghetto Tech” will be out in late October 2014.

The Ghetto Tech performance was proudly brought to Dar es Salaam patrons by Castle Lite, Tequila Patron, Seacliff Casino & Pepsi TZ. Vclick Concepts was the Event Photography Sponsor.

“The event gives farmers, suppliers and artist from all sectors a free platform to sell their creative products in a market environment such as homemade sauces, condiments, freshly grown fruits and vegetables, customized T-shirts, and

handmade crafts. The market creates a social space which is engaging, dynamic and fun for people of all ages. It brings the community together in a festive and eclectic environment. “ The market included series of mini workshops in arts and crafts and various cooking demonstrations.

HFF plans to expand future markets to include workshops in batik and dying, in addition to weaving.

It is why HFF also intends to launch Tanzania Farmers’ Arts & Craft Market in five major cities in Tanzania by end of 2015 – Morogoro, Iringa, Moshi, Mwanza, and Mbeya, in addition to continuing the Dar es Salaam market, which has been established since last year. We believe everyone deserves a chance of a better life no matter their circumstances.

Tanzania Farmers Market success and growth to

CAREER

Driving Your Career Advancement It’s not what you know, it’s who you know..!

By Steve Muchoma

“What Drives Career Advancement - Development of Skills or Development of Connections?”

A

s the year is winding up and more companies are lining up to recruitment agencies, trying to hire new people, one of the most important questions that begs an answer is - What Drives Career Advancement - Development of Skills or Development of Connections?

Doing the right connections give you a leg up towards advancement?

Absolutely! Can development of strong relationships give you an advantage when planning your career path? You bet they can. However, knowing the right people is not an adequate substitute for knowing the right things. An employee could 50 I Dar Life I September 2014

know the CEO of the company but if that CEO thinks the employee is an idiot then that employee is not likely to see much career advancement. In fact, it might be better for his advancement if the CEO never heard of the poor fellow in that case.

Good connections only work when the influential people you know see you as a talented individual capable of making great contributions to their business. You should be planning to show the folks at the top that moving you along a career path will benefit the company by using your skills to meet corporate objectives.

Leaders generally focus their career development, coaching efforts and advice on people who they know are really good at what they do.

Notice there are two parts to this path to advancement.

You have to be really skilled in your work and the folk’s upstairs need to know that you

are really skilled in your work. If either of these two ingredients is missing it will be hard for you to experience much career advancement. If you are planning to achieve them both it will be hard for you to avoid career advancement.

The order of these two factors is also very important.

You should not be planning to hook up with all the bigwigs without adequate development of your skills first. If they meet you too early in your career path while you are still inexperienced their first impression will be that you are still inexperienced and in need of more development and guidance. Even as you grow you will still have to overcome that first impression before you see any advancement.

Therefore, it is advised that you focus on developing your talents and skills first, then it will be possible to see career advancement coming your way quickly and easily.

DL - Wow, seems your work has been extensive. Have you done anything that sticks out?

RM: Well, I believe so. Most of my work is shown here in Tanzania. I also did an exchange program for female artists in the United States. While I was there, I managed to get some contacts and many friends who are helping me to display my work in galleries there. Some of my paintings, especially wildlife ones, have brought in some money, mostly in Tanzania.

DL - What is your genre of painting and what mediums do you like to use?

but occasionally I go for oil. was it?

RM: I normally work with other artists at the studio in the Arusha Declaration Museum.

However, because I have another permanent job, I do a lot of my work at home whenever I have time.

DL - Do you work from life, or from photographs or from imagination?

BUSINESS

Change How You Do Business 5 Ways to Stimulate Sales Growth and Business Value

By Dennis Sommer Here are five proven strategies you can implement to quickly improve sales growth and increase the value of your business.

“In today’s business climate, if you haven’t changed the way you are doing business, you will never be able to improve your sales growth, business value or overall business performance.”

1. Focus on Niche Markets Selling everything to everyone in a major market can blur your image and is very competitive.

Instead, position yourself as a market leader in a niche market. Niche specialists focus on specific industries or type of customers. Based on previous sales history, pick a niche market that drives your greatest sales, profitability and quickest sales cycle. Focus your efforts on the proven niche market and this will drive sales growth with the least amount of effort.

2. Repackage Your Offerings - Drive dramatic sales growth by reinventing what you offer customers in a manner that increases sales volume and profitability. Bigger sales revenue and profitability comes from bigger offerings. Offer super sizes, volume discounts, extended contracts or product bundles. Try small “Early Buy” incentives to increase volume, but keep them small with a time limit. Stand strong on the value your offering provides and stick with the original price.

3. Sell Proprietary Products Unique design, functionality and technology can make your products proprietary, which

58 I Dar Life I September 2014

can increase the desirability of your products/services and the price a buyer is willing to pay. Proprietary products offer protection from the competition and enable you to sell your products at a higher price and profitability.

4. Differentiate yourself Similar to selling proprietary products, you can sell more at a higher price if your customer perceives your products and services are unique and different than others on the market. Even if you sell products that are not proprietary, you must show your customers what makes you different than everyone else.

When you do this successfully, you become the best choice and selling at a higher price will not be an issue.

5. Get Rid of Underperformers - The best way to dramatically lower your costs and improve profitability is to get rid of all your underperformers. Evaluate all of your products and services and shelve them if they are not profitable or help drive sales of other offerings. Stop all marketing that is not delivering a positive return on investment.

You should also evaluate your sales team and eliminate underperformers.

Starting today, look at changing the way you do business!

Mustafa Hassanali Takes the Stage 15 Years of a Fashion Legend

By Simon Sameja

“Fifteen years ago a new face emerged in Tanzania.

Mustafa Hassanali has significantly changed the direction and style of the Tanzanianan fashion industry. Fashion was once a myth in the Tanzanian market. It now is a prominent aspect of our daily lives and Mustafa has played a major role in the change.”

O

n Sunday 10Th August , marked the 15 th Anniversary celebration of Tanzania renowned Pan African designer Mustafa Hassanali. An exclusive by invitation only niche event was held at Hyatt Regency – The Kilimanjari, whereby Mustafa Hassanali launched his Couture collection aptly named “Meremeta Na Hassanali”

Hassanali’s interest in fashion started as a hobby in 1999. One of his first creations was worn by Hoyce Temu, who was crowned Miss Tanzania 1999 as she donned his signature evening gown. Thus began the rollercoaster ride that has launched the Tanzanian fashion industry to another level, largely thanks to Hassanali’s zeal and zest.

Hassanali’s passion for fashion is not limited

62 I Dar Life I September 2014

to fostering his own creations and offering something new to his target audience; he also believes deeply in the enhancement of the Tanzanian fashion industry as a whole.

He has taken up the task of responding to late American President John F. Kennedy’s legendary call: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

“I can’t believe how time flies by so fast, what started as just a hobby has actually not only build my brand but has also been a catalyst to the growth of the Fashion industry in Tanzania” stated Mustafa Hassanali.

Mustafa has showcased in 27 cities in 18 countries around the world, representing Tanzania as a cultural ambassador. Apart from designing for renowned shows in the

country like Miss Tanzania, corporate and television based shows and various other events, Mustafa’s work has been highly appreciated at the international level. He has worked alongside a number of celebrities (including Naomi Campbell, to name one) and high-profile leaders who have adorned his couture.

His new collection that showcased in Dar es salaam was after a hiatus of 5 years. This collection has been inspired by the true brand essence to what is a Mustafa Hassanali Signature style IQ. As they aptly put in Kiswahili “gauni usipomeremeta na hauna mkia, haujavaa Hassanali” (translation- if the gowns doesn’t shine and doesn’t have a tail, then it isn’t a Hassanali)

September 2014 I Dar Life I 63

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the media, clients, various sponsors, and international organizers for their tremendous support they have given me over the past 15 year and I shall hope to get your continued support over the forthcoming year. Last but not least, I want to thank Team at Mustafa Hassanali and friends and the almighty Allah for his continued Guidance, ameen “Concluded Hassanali.

Meremeta na Hassanali “ collection had featured various top models and celebrities walking down the ramp choreographed and produced by one of South Africa’s leading Show producers.

BOOK REVIEWS

Coffee break Join Dar Life reviews editor for the pick of the books with an East African flavour

By A Novel Idea

The Gnu’s World “Serengeti Wildebeest Ecology and Life History” - by Richard D.Estes

This is the first scholarly book on the antelope that dominates the savanna ecosystems of eastern and southern Africa. It presents a synthesis of research conducted over a span of fifty years, mainly on the wildebeest in the Ngorongoro and Serengeti ecosystems, where eighty percent of the world’s wildebeest population lives. Wildebeest and other grazing mammals drive the ecology and evolution of the savanna ecosystem. Richard D. Estes describes this process and also details the wildebeest’s life history, focusing on its social organization and unique reproductive system, which are adapted to the animal’s epic annual migrations. He also examines conservation issues that affect wildebeest, including range-wide population declines.

Dust - by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor Odidi Oganda, running for his life, is gunned down in the streets of Nairobi. His griefstricken sister, Ajany, just returned from Brazil, and their father bring his body back to their crumbling home deep in the Kenyan drylands, seeking some comfort and peace.

But the murder has stirred memories long left untouched, and unleashed a series of unexpected events: Odidi and Ajany’s mercurial mother flees in a fit of anguish and rage; a young Englishman arrives at the Ogandas’ house, seeking his missing father; a hardened policeman who has borne witness to unspeakable acts reopens a cold case; and an all-seeing Trader with a murky identity plots an overdue revenge. In scenes stretching from the violent upheaval of contemporary Kenya, back through a shocking political assassination in 1969 and the Mau Mau uprisings against British colonial rule in the 1950s, we come to learn the secrets held by this parched landscape, buried deep within the shared past of the family and of a conflicted nation. Here is a spellbinding novel about a brother and sister who have lost their way; about how myths come to pass, history is written, and war stains us forever.

The war was over and David, returning to East Africa, asked himself, as did many of his contemporaries, “what next”? It was not an easy world in which to readjust. He opted to become a Livestock Marketing Officer in Dodoma, with the Tanganyika Veterinary Department. Money was short and Pat, who has also been de-mobbed and had joined her husband in Dodoma, nursed to help augment their income. Finally, the break David had been hoping for materialized and he embarked on a new chapter in his life as a wheat farmer on the Western slopes of Kilimanjaro. With no formal training, David survived largely on his local knowledge and language skills, supplemented by his cattle buying. Life on ‘Mountainside’ suited David, despite the constant battles against Africa’s unforgiving environment, but the winds of change were to bring a greater challenge and one that would ultimately end David’s dreams.

The Women of Schwari London Fashion Week

By Sammye Waltson

I

t is no secret that Tanzania is an incubator for creativity, talent and lively fashion. When you mix that culture with a strong team of women – magic can happen.

“Magic” is exactly the way the group of women from Arusha and Zanzibar would describe their journey to and experience at London Fashion Week this past February.

In 2009, after having launched three of the 70 I Dar Life I September 2014

most successful restaurants in Arusha, as well as a popular boutique, Beate Allard opened the doors to her fashion line, Schwari. At Schwari, her use of hand-dyed fabrics, unique leather pieces, along with vibrant colours and intricate beading inspired by the Maasai tribal women has become the label’s unique signature. If you had to categorize the brand, Schwari fashion is a beautiful blend of African, Asian and European chic. Beate designs the patterns herself, sourcing the majority of her materials locally and using

C

only local artisans to undertake the work - ethical manufacturing being at the heart of the Schwari ethos. This commitment has resulted in job creation, clean and safe working conditions, career development opportunities, as well as special considerations and accessibility options for disabled artists and parents who benefit from working from home in order to be near their children or due to lack of transportation or mobility. For the beading components, Beate engages village Maasai women who otherwise

would not have the opportunity to provide for themselves financially, thus empowering them within their communities.

Beate Allard was invited to participate in the Fashion International (www. fashioninternationallfw.com) event at London Fashion Week after Bahati Chando from Top Model Tanzania/Tanzanite Bliss saw her work at the Maridadi Fashion Show in Dar es Salaam.

Bahati works in partnership with Fashion September 2014 I Dar Life I 71

International to recruit emerging designers from Tanzania for their event which showcases eight designers from across the globe each season.

Beate was ready to take on the challenge, but knew that she could not do it alone. Preparing for such a big show, and ensuring that you get the most out of it takes a varying set of skills, a lot of time and energy, and a significant monetary investment in materials, labor, travel and public relations.

The events that unfolded had to be destiny as Beate unknowingly found the team that would get her there. Who makes up this magical array of women who took over a coveted spot on the London runway? You’ve met Beate Allard of Schwari, who is the designer. Every good team needs an idea person and motivator.

This person is Francesca Scalfari. She and her husband own FrasiAfrica which is a Zanzibarbased t-shirt company that prints corporate and creative designs for lodges, boutiques and companies across Tanzania, as well as selling their own creations. Next, you need someone with experience in the industry who shares your vision. Prama Bhardwaj, owner of Mantis World, runs a successful UK-based textile company which focuses on ethically sourced and produced cotton garments – a good portion of which are manufactured in East Africa, and specifically Tanzania. Mantis World garments are the exclusive supplier for FrasiAfrica prints. Through discussions about a retail partnership, Francesca and Beate found a creative connection that could not be ignored and quickly collaborated for Fashion Week Zanzibar which consisted of FrasiAfrica printed knit t-shirts paired with Schwari leather bottoms, sandals and handbags. From there they agreed to work together when and where ever possible. Just before Fashion Week Zanzibar, Francesca and Beate were introduced to Sammye Walton, who is developing an online shopping and distribution channel for products made in East Africa. They found that her mind for business was a good fit with and balance to their creativity.

When Beate shared the news of her invitation to London Fashion Week with the two ladies, there was no question as to “if” Beate would go, it was just simply “how” they would 72 I Dar Life I September 2014

make it happen. Beate went to work on her designs. Francesca kept the team energized and quickly recruited a host of sponsors to help with funding. This consisted of selling ads in a press book that each show guest would receive, as well as securing accommodations sponsored by Mantis World. She also developed a line of Schwari-branded and Mantis Worldmanufactured t-shirts and scarves that were then accented with the Schwari signature beading for the show. Sammye designed the press book, took care of press releases and handled communications. During all of this, it became apparent that Beate would need a tactical person on the ground to help her with fittings and the backstage. The perfect fit for the job was Claudia Beer-Staub, Beate’s sister.

To guarantee that the journey and show was properly captured in a portfolio, photographer Anna Riddle was added to the team.

Beate Allard, along with seven other emerging international designers, took the catwalk at the Charring Cross Hotel in London in front of an audience of “who’s who” in fashion media, potential buyers, and local celebrities. All of the work and preparation leading up to the event went into a whirlwind, eight-minute show set to a soundtrack of J. Lo, Ke$ha and New Music Masters. The Schwari Autumn/Winter collection used goat hide, Nile Perch leather, hand-dyed cotton, t-shirts, bead-work, and recycled bottle tops in a mix of casual, street and evening wear – all of which were paired with ever popular Schwari boots and handbags.

As a result of the show, Schwari has begun to receive order inquiries (both locally and overseas), while views and shares on the website (www.shwari.com) and social media have skyrocketed. In addition, the team held a captive audience with the Tanzanian Ministry of Trade and Gatsby Foundation on the potential of partnering from a development perspective.

Following the show, they took advantage of an extra day in London to support anti-poaching efforts for Africa in partnership with The Sparkling Elephant by holding a photo shoot in “Grow your own Ivory!” t-shirts by FrasiAfrica.

Scahwari Team LFW is a supporter of the antipoaching campaign. Poaching for ivory has devastated Tanzania’s elephant heritage over September 2014 I Dar Life I 73

the last five years, and has harmed the nation’s reputation as a leading wildlife haven. We all should feel responsible and stand as a defender for our World Wild Life Heritage. Even Fashion has its duty: reach the souls of billions of people and talk to their conscious. “Beauty for a cause always!”

According to Beate, “It was quite an amazing experience that has led to many exciting things for both Schwari and my team.” In her next steps, Beate will focus Schwari on expanding her retail outlets. In April Beate will open a Schwari boutique in the Dar es Salaam Slipway Shopping Centre, and next season will open a Schwari/Frasi shop in Zanzibar in collaboration with Francesca Scalfari. In addition to regional expansion, she is creating a seasonal line of ready to wear clothing, accessories and footwear for international online sales through Tumaini Trading Company. In the near future, the team’s sights are set on Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in South Africa, a major showcase in Rwanda, and eventually New York City.

The team is unanimous in heralding the vast capacity of women working together to realize a dream – not for the purpose of recognition or fame, but because they share the same vision and love what they do. They are quick to encourage other women to do the same.

By recognizing, respecting and leveraging each other’s unique talents, and being open with communication, you can do more and go farther, and everyone shares in the success. These women came together through their shared love of Africa and fashion, and the idea that ethical sourcing and the improvement of the standard of retail quality within Tanzania (“Africa for Africa”) would both provide an outlet of fashion for a country relying heavily on imports, as well as raise the image of Tanzanian products internationally. With this group of women at the helm, the sky is the limit to where they will go.

By John Lindsay But what does it actually do to the body? For one thing, it changes our brain. The cells and neurons in the brain are constantly making new connections and disrupting old ones based on response to stimuli, a quality that researchers call experiencebased neuroplasticity. This affects the neural circuits of the brain, which in turn affects how we respond to situations. It also affects the

actual structure of our brains -- thickening some areas and making others less dense.

How to meditate:

Choose a peaceful environment.

Meditation should be practiced somewhere calming and peaceful. This will enable you to focus exclusively on the task at hand and avoid bombarding your mind with outside stimuli.

Wear comfortable clothes One of the major goals of meditation is to calm the mind and block out external factors - however, this can be difficult if you feel physically uncomfortable due to tight or restrictive clothing.

The Unknown Mtwara Tourism splendor

T

anzania is so rich in tourism attractions that some suffer from the fate of going unnoticed. One such destination is Mtwara on the southern circuit which the Tanzania Tourist Board is vigorously committed to promote through national, regional and international corridors. Located in southern Tanzania, Mtwara has so much to offer in terms of history, culture, and irresistible landscape from the hinterland to the palm tree fringed beaches along the Indian Ocean, that every tourist would wonder why he or she had not been there much earlier.

The destination’s documented history dates back to the German colonial era.

Notably, is the old Prison which was built in the 1880s and is now partly in ruins. After the First World War, the structure was used by the British as Customs Office, Post Office and a Police station.

78 I Dar Life I September 2014

Special on Mtwara attraction menu is the Msimbati Bay offering a variety of activities including motor vehicle driving on its beach. This area is also home to Mnazi Bay Marine Park which is a paradise for water sports lovers.

Wildlife enthusiasts are assured of game viewing thrills in Africa’s biggest trans-boundary game reserve, the Selous, which crosses the Ruvuma River into Msumbiji.

Seventy kilometers from Mtwara town lays a spring fresh water Lake, Kitele, which has a unique characteristic of not being fed by any river or valley.

On a cultural line, Mtwara is the spot that over time attracted so many visitors into settlement leading to the establishment of special Swahili Coast culture spiced by the world famous Makonde carvings, named after the superb and unique artistic wood carvers of the Makonde

tribe.

As the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) breasts itself up to promote tourism in the southern circuit, Mtwara looks all set to receive more visitors. This is due to the fact that the age old communication problem linking it with Dar es Salaam is being solved with the on-going construction of the Kibiti-Lindi road and the completion of the Mkapa Bridge across the Rufiji River. This is on top of the existing access by air and by sea.

To cap it all, the people of Msumbiji, south of Mtwara, will now find it easy to cross the Ruvuma River into Tanzania after the construction of the Umoja Bridge, to pay homage to the fallen heros of the Mozambique Liberation War at Naliendele Cemetery (15 kilometers from town) where FRELIMO (Mozambique Liberation Front) and Uhuru monuments have been erected.

Visitor accommodation in Mtwara is bound to increase as the Mtwara Corridor area opens up for economic growth. The Mnazi Bay gas project, the port expansion programme to serve land locked southern African countries and the revival of the Mtwara/Nachingwea railway line, constitute the right menu for new hotel investment ventures.

The railway line will also boost the cashew-nut industry and connect the planned Liganga coal mining and Mchuchuma iron ore project areas to the Indian Ocean.

anzania has a long history of human habitation stretching back to our most distant ancestors. The so-called ‘bantu migrations’, occurring between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago, brought agriculture and pastoral knowledge to the area as competing groups spread over the country in search of fertile soil and plentiful grazing for their herds.

European missionaries and explorers mapped the interior of the country by following well-worn caravan routes, including Burton and Speke who in 1857 journeyed to find the source of the Nile.

Traditional ways of life remained largely intact until the arrival of German colonizers in the late 19th century.

On the Swahili Coast, Indian Ocean trade began

82 I Dar Life I September 2014

“The Islands of Kilwa Kisiwani and the nearby ruins of Songo Mnara are among the most important remnants of Swahili Civilization on the East African Coast”. as early as 400BCE between Greece and Azania, as the area was commonly known. Around the 4th century AD, coastal towns and trading settlements attracted bantu-speaking peoples from the African hinterland. They settled around mercantile areas and often facilitated trading with the Arabs and Persians, who bartered for slaves, gold, ivory, and spices, sailing north with the monsoon wind.

“On the Swahili Coast, Indian Ocean Trade began as early as 400 BCE between Greece and Azania, as the area was commonly known.”

Between the 13th and 15th centuries, the settlements of Kilwa Kisiwani and the Zanzibar Archipelago reached their peak, with a highly cosmopolitan population of Indian, Arab and African merchants trading in luxury goods that reached as far as China. The completion of Portuguese domination in 1525 meant that trade, for a short time, was lessened, but rival Omani Arab influences soon took control of the caravan routes and regained complete control of the islands, even going so far as to make Zanzibar the capital of Oman in the 1840’s.

In the late 19th century, British influence in the Zanzibar Archipelago, in contrast to German influence on the Tanzanian mainland, slowly suppressed the slave trade and brought the area under the influence of the Empire. Local rebellions in German East Africa, most notably the Maji Maji rebellion from 1905 to 1907, slowly weakened the colonizer’s grip on the nation and at the end of the First World War Germany ceded Tanganyika to English administration.

Under the leadership of Julius Nyerere of TANU, popularly referred to as Mwalimu or ‘teacher’

Tanganyika achieved full independence in 1962.

Meanwhile, a violent revolution in Zanzibar ousted the Omani sultancy and established a oneparty state under the Afro-Shirazi party in 1963.

A year later, the United Republic of Tanzania was formed, unifying the Tanganyika mainland with the semi-autonomous islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago, and merging TANU and the ASP to form CCM, Chama cha Mapinduzi, the Party of the Revolution which rules Tanzania to the present day.

Engaruka

Mysterious ruins of complex irrigation systems span the area around Engaruka, the remnants of a highly developed but unknown society that inhabited the area at least 500 years ago – and then vanished without a trace.

Kilwa Kisiwani

The island of Kilwa Kisiwani and the nearby ruins of Songo Mnara are among the most September 2014 I Dar Life I 83

important remnants of Swahili civilization on the East African coast. The area became the centre point of Swahili civilization in the 13th century, when it controlled the gold trade with Sofala, a distant settlement in Mozambique. After a brief decline under the rule of the Portuguese, Kilwa once again became a centre of Swahili trade in the 18th century, when slaves were shipped from its port to the islands of Comoros, Mauritius and Reunion.

of the protected area. Small streams flow from gentle hills and unite in a broad valley to form Ndumbi River, which is one of the main tributaries of the Great Ruaha River.

Along the Ndumbi grows the about 40 m (131 feet) high East African juniper tree, a genus of the cypress family. The Ndumbi Valley opens onto the large Kitulo Plateau in a sea of flowers. During the winter months, this is a paradise for

birds, including those from Europe and North Africa.

The park’s third area lies in the west. Here are dense forests, deep ravines and valleys. The Livingstone Mountains form the park’s border. Remote and difficult to access, this area of dense, overcast mountainous rainforest is seldom visited and little researched.

It is no real wonder, then, that in 2003 a new primate species was discovered here:

the Highland Mangabey. This arboreal mangabey is brown, with a head and body length of about 90 cm (3 feet). The monkey occurs as high as 2450 m (8,000 feet) in Kitulo and on nearby Mt Rungwe, where temperatures often fall below freezing; its long coat is probably an adaptation to the cold.

The Highland Mangabey is extremely rare and critically endangered, with an September 2014 I Dar Life I 93

“Orchids, irises, lilies, honey-peas, bellflowers, balsams and other wildflowers bloom as far as the eye can see. Kitulo hosts more then 350 species of vascular plants, including 45 varieties of terrestrial orchid, which erupt into a riotous wildflower display of breathtaking scale and diversity. Kitulo is a rare botanical marvel.”

estimated total population of between 500 and 1,000 animals. The discovery of such a large species proves that there is still a lot to be discovered and learned from the natural world. According to researchers, the Southern Highland forests outside the park, including those of Mt. Rungwe and Kitulo, are highly degraded by illegal logging, and without prompt action the animal’s future is uncertain.

Big game is scarcely found in the park but eland and some species of antelope forage on the plateau.

Kitulo - a botanist and hiker’s paradise - is also highly attractive to birdwatchers.

Tanzania’s only population of the rare Denham’s bustard is resident, alongside a breeding colony of the 94 I Dar Life I September 2014

endangered Blue swallow and such range-restricted species as the Mountain marsh widow, Njombe cisticola and Kipengere seedeater. Endemic species of butterfly, chameleon, lizard and frog further enhance the biological wealth of God’s Garden.

The plateau is also home to important animal species including national and regional endemics. Breeding colonies of Blue Swallow (Hirundo atrocaerulea) and Denham’s Bustard (Neotis denhami), as well as species such as Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni), Pallid Harrier (Circus macrourus), Njombe Cisticola (Cisticola njombe), and Kipengere Seedeater (Serinus melanochrous), contribute to the plateau being an Important aird area. The Kitulo plateau holds the only remaining viable population of Ardeotis denhami in the southern highlands of Tanzania.

Things to do in Kitulo Plateau

Open walking across the grasslands to watch birds and wildflowers.

Hill climbing on the neighbouring ranges.

A half-day hike from the park across the Livingstone Mountains leads to the sumptuous Matema Beach on Lake Nyasa. (Good hiking trails exist and will soon be developed into a formal trail system.)

When to go The best time to visit the park is December and April for wildflower displays. The sunnier months of September to November are more comfortable for hiking but less rewarding to botanists.

Conditions are cold and foggy from June to August.
