An image circulating on social media appears to show Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) recruits lying on the ground and forming the word “TUTAM”, a slogan associated with President William Ruto and his supporters.
The image has been shared as though it captures a real formation by KDF recruits, raising questions about whether members of Kenya’s military participated in a display carrying a political message.
But is the image real?

Wakuu kumekuwa na hii nadharia ya muda mrefu kwamba ukijing'ata kuna mtu anakuwa amekusema mahali.
Je, ina uhalisia kwa kiwango gani?
Ivi jamani ni kweli hizi mambo zinazoendelea huko mitandaoni?
Maana nimekutana na nukuu tatu tofauti kuhusu Rais Samia na Dkt Nchimbi ,je kuna ukweli wowote?
Kumekuwepo na machapisho yanayosambazwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii yenye nukuu mbalimbali zinazodaiwa kuwa zimetolewa na viongozi wa nchini Tanzania.Moja ya kurasa hizo ni mjadala tv na siasa za kweli ambazo huchapisha maudhui hayo mara kwa mara
Kumekuwa na taarifa kuwa samaki aina ya Papa ana uwezo wa kuzuia saratani na anaweza kutumika kama tiba ya saratani. Ni upi uhalisia wake?
Dhana potofu: Binadamu hutumia asilimia 10 tu ya ubongo wao.
Ukweli: Uchunguzi wa picha za ubongo unaonyesha kuwa karibu kila sehemu ya ubongo ina kazi na inafanya kazi hata wakati wa kufanya shughuli rahisi.
The Kenya Revenue Authority has warned members of the public against a fake notice graphic circulating online claiming that taxpayers who fail to remit the housing levy will have their KRA PINs and bank accounts frozen.
KRA said the graphic, which bears the authority’s branding and the iTax logo, is not an official communication from the tax agency.
Kumekuwepo Chapisho linalosambazwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii, ikiwemo Facebook na Instagram, linadai kuwa Zambia ilisajili wapiga kura milioni 14 na kwamba katika uchaguzi huo zaidi ya watu milioni 14 walipiga kura.
Katika jamii za kiafrika hasa Tanzania kumekuwa na nadharia kuwa mtu aking'oa mvi moja kichwani inasababisha kuota nyingine nyingi.
Baadhi ya watu wakiwa katika umri ambao si wakuota mvi au wale ambao wanaanza kuota mvi, mvi zikianza kuchipua kichwani wanazing'oa wakiamini hazitaota tena lakini baadhi ya watu wanawaonya kuwa wasizing'oe kwasababu zitaota nyingine nyingi.
Je, ni upi ukweli kuhusu nadharia hiyo?

Imekuwa ikidaiwa mara kwa mara kwamba marubani wa ndege hawaruhusiwi kula chakula cha aina moja wanapokuwa safarini, hasa rubani mkuu na msaidizi wake. Suala hili limekuwa likiendelea kwe kampuni mbalimbali za usafiri wa anga.

Viral posts and images circulating on social media claim that the United Nations (UN), UN election observers and observers from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have confirmed that an opposition presidential candidate won Zambia's general election held on 13 August 2026.
The claim that the United Nations confirmed the victory of an opposition presidential candidate in Zambia is false.

The UN clarified that it does not have an electoral observation mandate in Zambia and did not deploy election observers for the 13 August...
Kupitia ukurasa wa JamiiCheck kwenye mtandao wa Instagram mdau ameshukuru kwa elimu kuhusu dawa za meno, lakini pia ametaka kufamu kuhusu vidonge vinavyotajwa kupunguza unene, je kuna utapeli au vinafanya kazi kweli?
Kumekuwa na video inayosambazwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii, hususan Instagram, ikiambatanishwa na madai kwamba leo nchini Zambia, siku ya uchaguzi mkuu, polisi wametumia risasi za moto na mabomu ya machozi kuwatawanya wapiga kura katika vituo kadhaa vya kupigia kura kwa tuhuma za uvunjifu wa amani.
Hata hivyo, ufuatiliaji wa video hiyo umebaini kuwa matukio yanayoonekana katika video hayakutokea wakati wa uchaguzi mkuu wa sasa nchini Zambia. Badala yake, video hiyo inaonesha tukio lililotokea kabla ya uchaguzi na sasa limehusishwa kimakosa na matukio ya uchaguzi wa sasa.
Uchunguzi zaidi kupitia vyombo rasmi vya habari nchini Zambia umebaini kuwa chombo cha habari cha Mwebantu kilichapisha video hiyo mwezi Agosti ikiwa na maelezo...
A viral graphic circulating on social media claims President William Ruto said Kenya needs a new Constitution that would not require the government to consult the people.
The quote, presented alongside Ruto’s image, reads: “We need a new Constitution that does not require us to consult the people.”
However, the statement has been taken out of context.
Kumekuwa na chapisho linalosambazwa katika mitandao ya kijamii, hususan Facebook na Instagram, likiwa na nukuu inayodaiwa kutolewa na Rais wa Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Nukuu hiyo inasema kuwa
“Nililenga kutogombea tena ifikapo mwaka 2031, lakini hadi sasa sioni mtu anayeweza kuendeleza maono yangu.” Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
