Hofu yatanda kwa wafanyabiashara wa Coco Beach: Wadai kupewa mwezi mmoja kuondoka kumpisha mwekezaji

Wakizungumza na The Chanzo leo, wajasiriamali na wafanyabiashara wadogo kwenye fukwe za Coco wamesema baadhi ya viongozi na watendaji wa Halmashauri ya Kinondoni waliwaita na kuwapa taarifa ya kutakiwa kuondoka ndani ya siku 30 kupisha uwekezaji.

Katika malalamiko ya wafanyabiashara hao, wameeleza pia kusikitishwa na kauli za watendaji hao kwa mfanyabiashara wa kike, kauli zenye viashiria ya kutaka rushwa ya ngono.

Kufuatia malalamiko haya ya wafanyabiashara wadogo, The Chanzo inaendelea na jitihada za kuwapata halmashauri ya Manispaa ya kinondoni kutoa ufafanuzi juu ya madai ya wafanyabiashara hawa.

My job was also eliminated. It’s been a thrilling challenge to cover seismic changes in China for WaPo. As access shrinks, I believe it has become ever more vital for the world to understand what is happening there. To my amazing colleagues, especially our researchers, 千恩万谢

Muda mzuri wa kurekebisha mambo kwa dhati kwenye nchi yetu ulikua ni Septemba 2024, watu walisihi sana.

Muda mzuri mwingine ulikua ni Januari 2025

Muda mzuri mwingine ulikua Juni 2025 kabla ya ratiba rasmi ya uchaguzi.

Muda mzuri mwingine ni sasa.

We stand behind the call for justice and reconciliation built on collective and inclusive commitment to healing.

[LHRC @humanrightstz]

Today, 7th November 2025, we, the undersigned Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), strongly condemn widespread human rights violations that occurred before, during, and after Tanzania’s 2025 General Elections.

These include killings of civilians, unlawful arrests, abductions, enforced disappearances, suppression of media freedoms, an internet shutdown, and denial of due process rights.

There are verified reports of excessive use of force against unarmed demonstrators, including reprisal killings of civilians, some in their own homes. Families have been left traumatized, and children have witnessed violence against their parents.

Journalists were not spared: Master Tindwa (Clouds Media) was killed at his home in Temeke, Kelvin Lameck Mwakangondya (Baraka FM, Mbeya) was killed while on duty, A journalist from Azam Media was seriously injured, and two others, Godfrey Thomas (Ayo TV) and Alphonce Kusaga (Sunrise Radio), were arrested in Arusha. A religious leader, Sheikh Msopa, was shot dead at his home in Dar es Salaam.

We also note reports of mass arrests and detentions of hundreds of civilians, particularly youth, across several regions, many still held without bail or court appearance. For six consecutive days since 29th October, the nationwide internet shutdown restricted access to information, monitoring of elections, and exposure of rights violations, in direct breach of Article 18 of the Constitution and international obligations.

We stand in solidarity with all victims and urge the Government to:
1️⃣ Release all detainees or bring them before the court.
2️⃣ Allow families to bury their loved ones.
3️⃣ Permit independent investigations into the killings.
4️⃣ Prosecute those responsible.
5️⃣ Uphold freedom of expression and the media.
6️⃣ Work toward reconciliation and national healing.
7️⃣ Compensate affected families.

Signed by: LHRC, Twaweza, Foundation for Civil Society, JamiiAfrica, Msichana Initiative, Centre for Strategic Litigation, and Internet Governance Tanzania Working Group.

govt-imposed curfew was illegal, making every act authorities took to enforce it outright criminal. we need an investigation into every death that occurred during the curfew period, and full reparation for the families who have lost their loved ones. more: https://t.co/RJtic2D043
