OUR CONTINENT ‘S WILD DANCE WITH GMO FOOD EXPERIMENTS

June has begun with a very positive moment for UK based Tanzanians.

 ATUK, a union (of all involved), is having its first huge meet in Reading (pronounced, “Redding”), few kilometres from London- on Saturday 23 June. Before we yawn and moan here we go again, another political coffee and blah- blah, hear, hear.

 An ATUK forum created by Joe Warioba on WhatsApp, accidentally, discussed the issue of GMO and Bill Gates. I have used the word “accidentally.”

The intention of the forum is not to discuss GMO, but, unity of Tanzanians and how to channel “this marriage” in engaging progress back home.

 I was perusing through the various chats last week, and THIS topic interested me, immensely.

 Dear reader, for the sake of semantics (meaning), imagine if you were asked to make a list of your core values?  Belief in God?  Family? Making money? One of my main core values is health. You might have seen stuff on Instagram (@freddymacha14), or You Tube channel...

So, having seen GMO and Bill Gates in Africa, I beamed.

BE IN TOUCH WITH YOUR TRADITION TO FIND LIGHT OF SUCCESS

I was in the Gym the other day.

 Not far from where I stood, this big, massive overweight individual trotted on the treadmill. Loud pop music banged and massacred our ears through the Gym speakers. Usually such fast-paced music tends to annoy, but in Gyms, it is suitable, apt and necessary. Exercise, exercise, exercise. 

The  said fella, however, was not so keen to the Gym beats. His earphones were listening to his own music.

MIND OVER MATTER, SWIMMING AND FUNDING HEALTHY ACTIVITIES...

London has been extremely cold during the past few weeks. Sometimes the weather bites like a hyena’s teeth wading through your bones. Part of the upsurge of this abnormal ice cold madness is the winds. It is no surprise hearing a tornado swept through Kigali, Rwanda a few days ago. Our earth has freaky weather moods.  TV climate experts said gales drifting from the Arctic Circle, Iceland and Siberia brought this very cold London spell.

 Many years ago I was walking through a chilly, snow filled Copenhagen after a late night gig.  I passed through Istedgade, an interesting part of the city. Nowadays Istedgade is slightly different. I saw a group of men chattering and drinking.  They did not look Danish.

Istedgade.

A few days later I strolled through the same area with a Tanzanian friend who was living in Copenhagen for a long time.

“Who are those people?” I wondered.

“Eskimos,” he said quietly.
