@DennisShonko UFANISI WA TAMASHA YA KISWAHILI MWAKA WA 2017—BURUBURU

UFANISI WA TAMASHA YA KISWAHILI MWAKA WA 2017—BURUBURU

Kwa mwaka wa pili mfululizo, Tamasha ya Kiswahili iliandaliwa katika ukumbi wa Huduma ya Maktaba kwa Taifa nchini Kenya (Jumamosi, Oktoba 14, 2017) eneo la Buruburu. Ingawa sikubahatika  kuhudhuria tamasha yenyewe mwaka wa 2016, nilihabarishwa ilivyokuwa yakuigwa.

   Bw Almasi bin Ndangili—ambaye ndiye aliyeibuka na wazo la kuwapo tamasha kama hiyo, ndiye aliyenipa mwaliko. Sawa na wapenzi wengine wa lugha ya Kiswahili, nilifika mapema ukumbini licha ya kukanyaga chechele hapa na pale safarini nikiwa na mwalimu mwenzangu, Peter. Baada ya kitambo kifupi, Bw Ndangili aliyekuwa mratibu na mshereheshaji wa hafla na mwandishi wa tamthilia ya Kifo cha Mwandisi Mmachinga iliyoigizwa hapo baadaye, aliifungua warsha. Stacy alituongoza katika kuuimba wimbo wa taifa. Baadhi ya majina yakutajika yalitambulishwa kwetu k.v Swaleh Mdoe, Bi Pauline Kea, Daktari Hamisi Babusa na Profesa Kineene wa Mutiso waliokuwa wamefika mle.

Chozi la Heri na Assumpta K.Matei

Mungu wangu! Huyu si ndugu yangu Mwaliko?” alisema Umu kimyakimya. Dick naye alikuwa kaghumiwa, hajui ia kusema. Anamtazama mnuna wake kana kwamba ni Mr Super Man katika sinema za kijasiri. Wote wawili walitazamana, kila mmoja akiapa moyoni kuwa amewahi kumwona kiumbe huyu mahali, lakini hakuna aliyethubutu kunena.

A Beautiful Place to Die by An Emmanuel Cooper Mystery

A Beautiful Place to Die: An Emmanuel Cooper Mystery

Award-winning screenwriter Malla Nunn delivers a stunning and darkly romantic crime novel set in 1950s apartheid South Africa, featuring Detective Emmanuel Cooper — a man caught up in a time and place where racial tensions and the raw hunger for power make life very dangerous indeed.

In a morally complex tale rich with authenticity, Nunn takes readers to Jacob’s Rest, a tiny town on the border between South Africa and Mozambique. It is 1952, and new apartheid laws have recently gone into effect, dividing a nation into black and white while supposedly healing the political rifts between the Afrikaners and the English. Tensions simmer as the fault line between the oppressed and the oppressors cuts deeper, but it’s not until an Afrikaner police officer is found dead that emotions more dangerous than anyone thought possible boil to the surface.

Dear friend… this is for you!

Dear friend… this is for you!

What really happened to the days when friendship was real and true? When friends once cared about one’s ongoing academically, morally, socially, physically… lly? The list is always endless. Is it me who changed? I have always asked myself and if my change was so radical and spontaneous, then why wasn’t I corrected? Why do we have to let this change drive a whole consequence to a wacky end?

Spare me the crap! If it is for the so called ‘relations’ the last time I checked you read a book of that caliber — self-confidence — but seems your style has changed from ‘Think Big’ to ‘300 Things a Girl Should Know About Boys.’
