Binaadamu na Mashine

Kama ilivyoandikwa kwenye hii blogu, kutafsiri kiswahili kwa kutumia mashine au komyuta pekee ni kazi ngumu.


Kuna mtu katuma maoni kwenye blogu – kwa Kiswahili na Kiingereza. Nadhani alitafsiri kwa mashine:

2005

MAHOJIANO NA THOMAS MAPFUMO

Thomas Mapfumo, mwanamuziki aliyehamasisha vita ya ukombozi wa Zimbabwe anadai kwamba Komredi Mugabe angeshakubali kuachia ngazi na kuwapa MDC uongozi wa serikali Zimbabwe. Anasema tatizo ni kwamba maswahiba wa Mugabe hawatamruhuzu mzee akubali kushindwa kwa vile wanahofia kushitakiwa kwa kukiuka haki za raia na serikali mpya ya MDC. ..

Mapfumo yuko ziarani Australia. Niliongea wiki iliyopita kuhusu muziki wake pamoja na siasa ya Zimbabwe.

Mtazamo mbadala: Shivji ahoji tuzo ya Mo Ibrahim

Kwenye kurasa za Pambazuka kuna mawazo mbadala ya Profesa Shivji kuhusu tuzo ya utawala bora aliyopewa Chissano. Na kabla ya Shivji kupandisha makala yake, mwanazuoni Horace Campbell alikwishapandisha nyingine siku chache kabla.

pamoja na mengi mengine Shivji anaanza:

"Mo Ibrahim’s prize for a retired African president which was awarded to Joachim Chissano of Mozambique was in my view an insult to the African people." Issa Shivji raises a number of questions around the award such as how and what is "good governance" and why is it only applied to Africa? And most importantly "for which and whose democracy they are getting a prize".

Endelea na makala ya Shivji kwa kubofya hapa.

Horace Campbell kaandika kirefu zaidi:

According to the media, "Mo Ibrahim, a Sudanese-born telecommunications entrepreneur, established the prize as a way of encouraging good governance in a continent blighted by corruption and a frequently loose adherence to democratic principles." Not a word is mentioned about the living conditions of the people of the Sudan from where Mr. Ibrahim hails…..

But, isn’t this prize also a sign of the political retrogression in Africa? The idea of a President voluntarily stepping down is now so novel in the face of leaders such as Museveni and Mugabe that Chissano indeed stands out. Compared to Robert Mugabe and Thabo Mbeki, and their megalomanic policies, Chissano does look good.

While announcing Chissano as the winner, Kofi Annan may have gone overboard by saying, "leadership should be the ability to formulate a vision and to convince others of that vision. It should be the skill of giving courage to accept difficult changes to make possible a longer term aspiration for a better and fairer future."

Endelea hapa.

Madhumuni ya tangazo la biashara kwanza ni kuvutia na kushika jicho la mnunuzi. Kwa hilo jamaa wa American Apparel wameweza - kushika jicho.

Cha kushangaza, hivi hawakuweza kupata mrembo mkubwa kwa umri kidogo, halafu akasitiri kidogo kifua chake, ambaye wasingempaka masizi kumfanya awe mweusi tii. Nijuavyo Marekani kuna weusi tii kwa wingi.

Sina hakika mlengwa wa biashara hii ni nani, japo tangazo limezua gumzo.

MWANZO WA MWISHO WA SIASA ZA RAFU?

"Zitto amekuwa Zitto, wapinzani sasa wamepata hoja, wametuzidi katika hoja, tunapaswa kuchagua viongozi walio bora ili (wapinzani) wasituzidi katika hoja.

"Inashangaza Zitto ambaye amepewa ‘red card’ bungeni kushabikiwa na idadi kubwa ya Watanzania wakiwemo wana CCM ambao walikwenda Jangwani kumlaki na kumsikiliza wakati akitokea Dodoma, ni lazima tukisafishe chama ili wapinzani wasije kutupiku,"

- Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa CCM, Kapteni Jaka Mwambi

Hoja bin hoja kama hivi tutafika kwenye hoja bin haki, akina Zitto wasikome kuzua hoja tutoke kwenye siasa za pilau anazosema JK hapa.

Australia imefukuza watoto wa viongozi wa serikali ya Zimbabwe

Hatimaye serikali ya Australia imeitikia wito uliotolewa mwezi wa nne mwaka huu na gazeti la Zimdaily, wa kuwafukuza watoto wa viongozi wa serikali ya Zimbabwe ambao wanasoma ughaibuni kama njia mojawapo ya kuwaadhibu viongozi hao.

Adhabu hiyo imetolewa wakati viongozi wa SADC huko Zamnbia wakiwa wakikubaliana kwamba hali ya Zimbabwe sio mbaya kama wamagharibi wanavyodai. Maamuzi ya Australia na yale ya viongozi wa SADC yanafuatana kama vile mabodia wanavyotupiana masumbwi moja baada ya jengine.

Wakati zoezi la kuwataja kwa majina, pamoja na anwani za wanapoishi watoto wa viongozi wa serikali ya Zimbabwe lilipozuka mwezi wa nne mwaka huu - zoezi liliondaliwa na gazeti la Zimdaily msimamo wangu ulikuwa: sioni haki ya binaadamu mmoja kushinikizwa kwa kutumia binadamu mwingine. Kwamba ikiwa baba yangu ana makosa fulani basi na mimi nihukumiwe kwa makosa yale.

Nilitundika maoni pale kwa Jikomboe, wengine walikuwa na mawazo tofauti. Nikichukulia mfano, kama mimi ningekuwa mmojawapo wa watoto wale, mwenye mawazo tofauti na baba yangu, pengine nimetumia skolashipu iliyoangalia uwezo wangu wa kimasomo, na ninafanya vizuri tu shuleni, halafu nizuiwe kuendelea na masomo kwa sababu baba yangu anafanya kazi serikalini… Haki yangu ya kuishi kama mtu huru itakuwa iko wapi.

Ninaelewa haki ya taifa lolote kuwa na uamuzi ni nani anayeweza kuishi katika mipaka yake nabaki na tatizo la kuelewa dhana ya haki za kibinadamu katika hili.

FIMBO YA MBALI INAUA NYOKA

Fimbo ya mbali inaua nyoka. Hizi zama za teknolojia za mitandao ya intaneti zinabadili mambo.

Jioni hii baada ya kazi nafungua barua pepe nakutana na tangazo la mkanda mfupi wa muziki wa Ras Nas. Na hivi ndiyo kwanza nimemaliza kuangalia na kusikiliza muziki wa Ras Nas - muwakilishi wa sanaa toka Tanzania.

1

Muziki timilifu kila upande. Anaanza kwa muziki mwororo wa miondoko laini ya rumba ila sebene lililofuata limeniamsha kitini. Ningekuwa na utaalamu wa youtube kama Kitururu ningepandisha filamu. Lakini si haba, kuna kiungo hapa ukibofya utafika kwenye hiyo filamu ya Ras Nas.
1

Halafu nasoma barua pepe nyingine nakutana na kiungo kingine cha muziki wa Tanzania: Chemundu & Mbega Arts. Japo hakuna filamu ya kikundi wala sauti kwenye tovuti - napata ujumbe kuwa sanaa Tanzania inatokota kisawasawa. Kwa maelezo yao:
1
Chemundu na Mbega Arts ni kikundi cha muziki wenye vionjo vya muziki jadi(asili) halisi wa Tanzania na pia kuchanganya na mitindo ya Kimataifa kama:pop,afro rhumba na afro jazz.
Mbega Arts ilianziswa na mwanamuziki maarufu Che Mundugwao " chem ". na kujumuisha wanamuziki na wasanii wa muziki wa jadi vijana wenye vipaji vya hali ya juu ,ambao wameshawahi kushiriki katika ziara na matamasha mbalimbali ya kitaifa(tamasha la sanaa Bagamoyo) na kimataifa katika nchi za Kenya,Sweden,Denmark,Finland,Uingereza.n.k

1

Hiyo isitoshe, ndani ya barua pepe nyingine nakuta jamaa wa Afropop Worldwide wanaitangaza Tanzania kinamna. Moja ya santuri wanazocheza katika juma la muziki wa Afrika (African Summer Dance Party) inatoka kwa bendi ya Tanzania FM Academia. FM wamewekwa bega kwa bega na Hugh Masekela na Ricardo Lemvo katika chaguo la wataalamu wa AfroPop.

1
Nimeshapata mshawasha, ngoja nielekee kwenye miziki mjini - kuna rege mitaa ya kati huko. Ijumaa hii silali ndani. Fimbo ya mbali ishanichapa.

Nyerere Press Conference - 14 March 1995

"Any government that works for the wealthy does not collect tax, it chooses to harass small-time dealers,"

"Corruption in Tanzania has no bounds. Every country I visit they talk about corruption in Tanzania. Tanzania is stinking with corruption,"

"This would not only lead to collapse of the now-sensitive 30-year-old union between the twin-islands of Zanzibar and Pemba and Tanzania mainland, but would also plunge the country into chaos," (talking about condoning religious differences and tribalism)

SEMBENE OUSMANE AFARIKI DUNIA

Muasisi wa utengenezaji filamu barani Afrika, Sembene Ousmane amefariki dunia mwishoni mwa juma lililopita baada ya kuugua kwa muda mrefu. Alikuwa na umri wa miaka 84.

Sembene ndiye mwafrika wa kwanza kutengeneza filamu barani Afrika. Alikuwa mmojawapo wa wa waanzilishi wa tamasha la filamu Afrika, FESPACO. Alikuwa pia ni mtunzi wa vitabu. Kwa wale waliosoma somo la kiingereza wakiwa sekondari bila ya shaka walisoma pia kitabu cha God's Bits of Wood alichokiandika huyu mzee.

Binafsi nilivutiwa na kitabu hicho. Kadhalika nilivutiwa mno na filamu yake ya mwisho aliyoitengeneza, Moolaade. Mara baada ya kuiangalia nilieleza utamu wake kwenye blogu hii takriban miaka miwili hivi iliyopita.

Ameacha pengo lisilozibika - au pengine akiwa kama alama ya zama za filamu za mwanzo barani Afrika pia anafunga pazia la zama hizo - hasa kutokana na mabadiliko ya haraka yanayotokea katika utengenezaji na hadhira ya filamu za kiafrika barani hivi sasa.

MRADI WA KUIMARISHA SHUGHULI ZA BLOGU

(Maggid Akiwa katika outreach projects. picha na Maggid Mjengwa)

Global Voices hivi sasa wanapokea proposals za miradi ya uimarishaji shughuli za blogu. Bila ya shaka wengine wetu wameshaanza shughuli hii ya uimarishaji uandishi wa kiraia bila ya msaada wowote.

Kama akina Maggid kama wanavyoonekana pichani hapo juu.

Hata hivyo haidhuru kama utapatikana msaada zaidi kidogo ili kurahisisha mambo.

Endelea hapo chini, kama unaweza kufuatilia kabla ya tarehe 15 juni fanya harahara.

Application Deadline: June 15, 2007

Rising Voices, the outreach arm of Global Voices, is now accepting project proposals for the first round of microgrant funding of up to $5,000 for new media outreach projects. Ideal applicants will present innovative and detailed proposals to teach citizen media techniques to communities that are poorly positioned to discover and take advantage of tools like blogging, video-blogging, and podcasting on their own.

As the internet becomes more accessible to more people, as computers become cheaper, and as software applications move from the desktop to the web, the so-called digital divide seems to be narrowing. In its place, however, we see a participation gap in which the vast majority of blogs, podcasts, and online video are being produced in middle-class neighborhoods in major cities around the world.

Rising Voices aims to help bring new voices from new communities and speaking new languages to the conversational web, by providing resources and funding to local groups reaching out to underrepresented communities. Examples of potential projects include:

• 
  Purchasing an affordable digital video camera and teaching a group of rural students how to produce an ongoing video-blog documentary about the lives of their grandparents.


• Organizing a regular workshop on blogging and photography at a local orphanage. Portions of the budget could be used on cheap digital cameras and internet cafe costs so that participants could describe their local neighborhoods to a global audience with text and photos.


• Working with a local NGO or social entrepreneur so that their challenges, successes, and stories are told to a global audience.


• Translating our new media curriculum to an indigenous language, like Quechua or Wolof, that is currently not represented in the blogosphere or "podosphere." Then use the learning modules to encourage bloggers to write in those languages.

The sky is the limit, but unfortunately funding is not. Rising Voices outreach grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000. Please be as thoughtful, specific, and realistic as possible when drafting your budgets.

Feel free to ask questions in the comments section below or by sending an email to
outreach@globalvoicesonline.org

CHEMA HAKIDUMU

Chema hakidumu kingekupendeza
Ungawa na hamu kukingojeleza
Saa ikitimu kitakuteleza

Chema wangu babu Kibwana Bashee
Alojipa tabu kwamba anilee
Illahi Wahabu mara amtwee

Hizo beti mbili nilizikariri zamani kutoka kwenye kitabu cha Abdilatif Abdala "Sauti ya Dhiki". Na kama ninavyozikumbuka zimekuwa zinanizinga mawazoni kwa masiku kadhaa sasa.

Nimeingiwa na machungu na woga. Uwezo wangu wa kufikiri au kutatua matatizo yaliyonifika umeniponyoka. Maisha yamenikumbusha uwanaadamu wangu. Kinachonisukuma ni ule moyo wa stahamali tu. Na ninaomba nijaaliwe stahamali zaidi.

Kitambo kidogo kilichopita Mwenyezi Mungu alimtwaa kipenzi Mama yangu Mkubwa, Kadala. Marehemu Kadala nilikuwa naye karibu sana wakati wa utoto wangu.

Naam, ndio maisha. Na hapa nilipo maisha mengine yanaenda kwa kasi ya mwendo wa radi. Nakimbiakimbia, ninachakurachakura kama kuku kutwa nzima. Kukicha naanza tena kama jana. Ndio maisha.

Basi naona bora kukawia kuliko kuiwacha safari. Tupo wote safarini japo tunaonana kwa nadra bloguni. Mambo yakisawazika bila ya shaka nitaongeza kasi na huku kwenye mitandao pia.

Haidhuru. Kule kwenye kurasa za Global Voices baada ya muda kama mwezi hivi kuna muhtasari wa blogu za kiswahili uliopandishwa leo. Tafadhali tupa jicho na huko pia. Bila kusahau kuperuzi kidogo kwenye ukurasa wa Reuters Tanzania.

WOMADELAIDE 2007

(wazawa wa Adelaide - Kaurna - wakibariki tamasha)
1

Wikiendi hii tumerejea tena kwenye moja ya matamasha maarufu ya muziki wa kimadunia katika Australia - Womadelaide 2007. Mwaka huu tamasha hili ni la 15 hapa Adelaide na kwa mara ya kwanza kumekuwa na ratiba tofauti. Katika siku tatu za tamasha hili wanamuziki wote vinara wanatumbuiza mara moja tu. Haidhuru.
1
Bila kujali joto la kiangazi wapenzi wasiopungua 70 elfu wameshaanza kuburudika ndani ya viwanja vya Adelaide botanic park na wataburudika kwa siku tatu mfululizo mpaka nyasi kugeuka vumbi.
1
Pamoja na wanamuziki wa Kiafarika kama Femi Kuti (Nigeria), Salif Keita (Mali) na Mahotella Queens (Afrika ya Kusini) magwiji wengine kutoka pande zote za dunia kama akina Asha Bhosle (India); Kronos Quartet (US); Blue King Brown (Australia); Gotan Project (France / Argentina); Lior (Australia); Lunasa (Ireland); Emma Donovan Band (Australia); na Mariza (Portugal) watatumbuiza pia.
1
Kwa upande wangu mpaka hivi sasa nimeshahudhuria maonyesho ya bendi mbili za kutoka Afrika: Mahotella Queens na Femi Kuti and the Positive Force. Na bila ubishi wowote Mahotella Queens wamenisuuza moyo vilivyo.

(Bi mkubwa wa ki-Kaurna akisoma risala ya kubariki tamasha na kuwaenzi wenye nchi)
1
Kama ilivyo mila na desturi ya hapa Australia haianzi shughuli bila kutoa heshima kwa wazawa wa nchi hii wanaotambulika kama Ma-aborijino au Indigenous people ambao walikuwa 'hawatambuliki' kama binaadamu kamili kabla ya mwaka 1967.

1
Wazawa walianza kwa kutoa heshima ya ki-kaurna (inatamkwa ga-na). Mzee wa kabila (kama anavyoonekana pichani) alianza kusoma dua za kikwao akafuatiwa na vijana waliocheza ngoma ya kubariki tamasha. (juu kabisa pichani)

MAHOTELLA QUEENS (Womadelaide 2007)

(Mahotella Queens - Womadelaide 2007)
1

Mahotella Queens ndio waliofungua dimba ya tumbuizo kwenye tamasha la 15 la Womadelaide. Baada tu ya baraka za ufunguzi, bila kuchelewa kikosi cha maajuza watatu kutoka Afrika ya kusini, Mahotella Queens walivamia jukwaa namba moja na kuporomosha vibao vyao vyote maarufu - pamoja na Kazet na Umuntu Ngumuntu. ilikuwa onyesho kabambe - kwa lugha ya wanamiziki wanasema walipiga "tight set".

12
Miye naona hii ni baraka kuwashuhudia maajuza hawa wakitumbuiza, kwani walisharitaya shughuli za muziki baada ya kupotelewa na wanamuziki wenzao watatu wakiwemo Mzee Mahlatini na West Nkosi. Naona ni baraka vile hawa madada wazee - Hilda Tloubatla, Nobesuthu Shawe Mbadu na Mildred Mangxola ndio historia ya muziki wa dansi wa Afrika ya kusini. Hawa ndio hasa waliokuwamo kwenye kuipika mbaqanga jive.

1

Na kama alivyokuwa akieleza Bibie Hilda Tloubatla akiwa jukwaani - bila kujituma, kukaza nia tena baada ya kukata tamaa na misiba pengine wasingelikuwapo ndani ya tamasha mwaka huu.

Shoo yao ilikuwa swafi sana - walikuwa na mpigaji gitaa zito, mpiga gitaa, mpiga ngoma (yaani "drums") na mpiga kinanda tu. Hata hivyo vibibi hivi vilitoa vichekesho na mawaidha kwa wanawake na wanaume.

1

Usia ambao pengine haukuwafikia vizuri watoto wadogo na vichwa maji wengine ni pale walipowaambia akina mama: "Mkitaka kuwa na afya na furaha, muweze kucheza kama sisi mpaka uzeeni, siri ni kujidamka alfajiri ya saa kumi, umpe mumeo staftahi, na akirejea kutoka kazini akute maakuli, basi mumeo mwenyewe atakuwa akiwahi kurudi nyumbani kila siku, na kama ana uwezo atakununulia chochote unachotaka". Ma-feminist walinung'unika na kauli.

FEMI KUTI AND THE POSITIVE FORCE (Womadelaide 2007)

(Femi Kuti akitumbuiza Ijumaa usiku 9-3-07)

Shoo nyingine ya kutoka Afrika hapa katika Tamasha ni ile ya mwanamuziki Femi Kuti wa Nigeria. Bila ya shaka hii ilikuwa ndiyo bendi kubwa kupita zote usiku wa Ijumaa. Kulikwa kuna waimbaji, wapiga midomo ya bata ya aina zote (trumpets, alto na tenor sax, trombone, nk.) wapiga ngoma wawili, wanenguaji watatu, wapiga magitaa wawili, na mpiga gitaa zito, mpiga vinanda… pamoja na Femi mwenyewe ambaye anapuliza midomo ya bata ya aina mbili pamoja na kupiga kinanda na kuimba, kuunguruma na kufoka.

Onyesho lake lilikuwa ni nguvu na sauti kubwa mno. Ilikuwa kama vile amefunga vipaza sauti vya shoo za rock 'n' roll au heavy metal. Niliwaona wazee wachache wakihama mistari ya mbele huku wakiziba masikio.

Shoo ya femi ilikuwa sawa na kumsikiliza baba yake - Fela. Kulikwa na mseto wa Afro-beat na jazz ya haraka haraka. Alitoa maneno makali dhidi ya Obasanjo na viongozi wengine wa Kiafrika. Kadhalika aliwasuta waafrika waliokuwapo uwanjani, na kuwahimiza kufanya kweli. Ukiopndoa kibao cha Do Your Best na Beng Beng Beng, vibao vyote vilikuwa ni vya kisiasa.

Huyu bwana Femi alitoa sare na ma-Aborigine katika kupuliza sax. Ma-aborigines wanajulikana kwa mtindo wao wa kupiga digderidoo (aina ya filimbi kubwa yenye sauti nzito) huku wakitumia circular breathing. Femi alionyesha umahiri huo kwa kupuliza mlio mmoja wa sax kwa dakika kama mbili na nusu bila kukata.

Pamoja na kupenda sana kuangalia wanenguaji wa kike, mtindo wa wananguaji wa Femi wa kuwapa mgongo watazamaji huku kitambaa (au kijichupi) kikiwa kinavuka na kuonyesha msamba mara kwa mara kidogo kilinifanya nifadhaike. Vinginevyo ile dansi yao maarufu kana kwamba wanafanya mapenzi na mwanamume nadhani iliwavutia wengi pamoja na wapiga picha waliojazana upande wa wanenguaji.

Baada ya onyesho nilimkuta Msenegali mmoja anayepiga muziki hapa Adelaide, Lamin, akibishana na wazungu juu ya Femi. Wazungu wanadai waliupenda sana ule muziki kwani 'the whole stage was busy, the man's got energy, oooh!" Msenegali alikuwa anadai kuwa hakuweza kuucheza mziki ule kwa filingi.
