Tuiunge mkono redio kwa kuimarisha ubora wa maudhui na kukuza vipaji vya watangazaji.

I am truly honoured to receive the Second Prize in the @_ARIPO IP Awards. This award means a lot to me because it shows that journalism can help more Africans understand and protect their ideas, creativity, and businesses.

Your insightful reporting on IP issues continues to make IP visible, relevant and vital to Africa’s innovation journey.

The media plays a crucial role in informing the public about intellectual property and its benefits. Journalists remain at the forefront of raising awareness of IP’s impact on communities and economies across Africa.

Si kila kilichoandikwa au kusemwa kwenye Mitandao ni kweli. Habari za uongo huvalishwa sura ya ukweli ili kupotosha. Kabla ya kushiriki taarifa yoyote, chukua muda kuisoma kwa makini, kuangalia chanzo chake.

Things to do in Mbeya, a thread 🧵 The name Mbeya has its origin from the Safwa word "Ibheya" which means salt, likely reflecting to its early trade history. But it's more than just salt you can find there...

In 2025 being fat is a choice.

But they made you believe fat loss required pills & powders just to drain your bank.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.

After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.

This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.

In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.

Reporting on elections today requires more than just writing stories. It demands new skills in technology, storytelling, and fact-checking. Unfortunately, some journalists in Tanzania lack access to this kind of training.

Kutokana na mvua zinazoendelea kunyesha katika maeneo mbalimbali nchini, wananchi wachukue tahadhari mbalimbali ikiwemo kuepuka kukaa na kuegesha vyombo vya usafiri chini ya miti mikubwa maana wanaweza kuangukiwa na kusababisha madhara.
