1. Constant trips since 2008 ;in and out of Tanzania,Last entrance was January 2013, on a normal tourist visa.The main reason was death in family of my husband and important matters to settle.The initail expity date was April 13th,It was extended to May after a request when the baby was born.A month was not sufficient.Are revist extended a further two months until July.
As soon as the baby was born on the 30 march 2013 ,the first registration attempt was made.The officer said it was not possible as they awaited data from Bagamoyo Hospital and it would be possible onlyy in July.There was another attempt close to my visa expiry and to no avail.We applied in July and were given a retun to collect date in August.The baby's passport form was thus incomplete without a birth certificate.There was another plea at immigration for an extension due to this and it was refused.I cannot travel without the baby.The baby needs a passport.My husband lives with me but is currently away on a tour guide project at national parks in Tanzania.He assisted with crossing the border for an extension until October.The birth certificate was processed on Monday and the passport forms have been delivered for finalities.Temporarily resolved until I secure a dependant pass.I do however think that there needs to be a re-evaluation on dealing with each case independantly.The matter was definately a violation of rights. Seperating a newborn from his mum is not justified

I am Muslim, I do not fast, and I haven't fasted for more than 10 years now and have no intention of doing so now or in the future. (Please save me the lecture!) Besides, having a full stomach is not a prerequisite of thinking straight, having common sense or running a country wisely, otherwise Tanzania would be like Switzerland by now!
Kahtaan, Asalaam Aleikum, Kuna kitu kimoja muhimu kinaitwa "uhuru". Katika kila demokrasia kuna haki hiyo ambayo kila binadamu anayo na serikali yake na vyombo vyake lazima viheshimu. Wewe uliniuliza kama kwa sababu ya thaumu yangu labda sifikirii vizuri kiakili kutoa majibu hapa. Labda ulikuwa unatania kabla ya hata kuniuliza kama mimi ni muislamu. Nikakujibu kuwa mimi ni mwislamu lakini sifungi. Hii ni sababu yangu binafsi ni silazimiki kukueleza kwa nini sifungi. Hii ni baina yangu na Mola wangu, sio wewe. Kama umekasirika kwa sababu ya majibu yangu basi utalazimika kuheshimu majibu yangu kama ninavyoheshimu majibu na maoni yako hapa. Kwangu mimi sio muhimu kama unaniona mimi ni Mhutu au Mkongo au Mchina, mimi sikujui an wewe hunijui wala hunilishi. Tumekutana hapa kwa sababu ya huyu dada anataka msaada, sijui kama amekuja hapa kutafuta msaada au kulaani utamaduni wa kutoa chochote ili upewe haki yako Tanzania. Na ni maoni yangu binafsi kuwa sidhani ni raia wa Afrika Kusini kwa sababu ubalozi wao unatoa dokumenti zote pamoja na kuandikishwa ili aweze kuondoka nchini na mama yake. Kwa mfano, Mmarekani akizaa Tanzania, sio lazima awe na cheti cha kuzaliwa cha Tanzania, anajiandikisha ubalozini kwao na mtoto anapewa pasi ya Marekani au dokumenti ya kumwezesha kusafiri papo hapo. Na kama ukisoma hapo juu alielezwa pia kuwa ubalozi wake unaweza kufanya hivyo, ila yeye anataka serikali yetu impe cheti cha kuzaliwa haraka iwezekanavyo na kama ana haraka kwa nini asichukue kutoka ubalozi wao badala ya kulia kuwa ananyimwa haki yake. Mumewe ni raia wa Tanzania na tatizo linalokuja ni kuwa hawana uwezo wa kumpatia resident permit. Tatizo ni kuwa hawana fedha! Kama umenisoma vizuri nilishasema kuwa mke wangu na mtoto wangu sio raia wa Tanzania na niliweza wakati huo kuwalipia kila mmoja permit ya dola mia mbili kabla hawajapandisha bei. Labda pengine hukupendezewa na majibu yangu, lakini hii ndio raha ya demokrasia, kusema unavyotaka na kujibu unavyotaka hapa bila ya kutukana. Ni sababu yangu binafsi iliyolenga kuwa pengine huyu dada hata sio raia wa Afrika Kusini na hata kama nimekosea, sio kosa la jinai, nilisema kutokana na yeye kutojua kiingereza vizuri na kuandika vitu ambavyo anayejua kiingereza hawezi kuandika hivyo au kutojua kuwa ubalozi wake unaweza kumsaidia kama kweli ni raia wao. Hata wewe mwenyewe kiingereza kinakupiga chenga ndio maana unasema "born and BREAD" badala ya "born and bred" na kadhalika lakini nimezoea kusoma watu wanaoandika kiingereza kibovu hapa, ni kutokana na elimu yetu duni. Na hueleweki unaposema kuwa hutaki kuharatisha thaumu yako wakati umetumia muda wako wote kunitukana na kuniita Mhutu na Mchina na kadhalika wakati hunijui. Hii ni haki yako, na nimeamua kuandika kwa Kiswahili ili huu ujumbe uuelewe vizuri, na hata kama huniamini kuwa mimi ni mzaliwa wa Tanzania na raia wa Tanzania, kwangu mimi sio muhimu sana. Watu muhimu katika maisha yangu ni familia yangu na marafiki zangu sio waandishi wa maoni hapa.

......... You can blame the bureaucracy but the money you spent to go abroad you should have used it to bribe the village worker in Bagamoyo to expedite the certificate! When you are in Rome,do as the Roman do, unless you are broke then you can blame the racists!
Ogah Kucheka inaruhusiwa lkn kashfa ndio hatutaki!......Mkuu EMT ......na Mkuu Wacha1 ......heshima sana.....
.......si utani wakuu pamoja na elimu nyingine niliyoipata kutoka kwenu........pia nimecheka sana kutokana na majibizano kati ya watu wawili yaani Tokyo40 na kahtaan ......na hasa pale kwenye suala la kurekebishana lugha ya "M ama Elizabeth wa Pili" .......
So, by right since 2008 you were visiting Tanzania as a tourist with South African passport. As a member of commonwealth, you were given 6 months maximum as per requirement. Your son is approximately four months old, . Why didnt you include your son in either your fathers passport or yours? Its easy to do that via your embassy (read requirement to be helped outside your country by your embassy) as your visa is running out. Alternatively you should have all required papers to satisfy officials that your case is genuine. In this case it seems you do not have genuine papers for your son.
I do not believe that your case is urgent because your husband is somewhere else and you cant satisfy the Immigration officials with proper documentation. In actual fact our immigration officials have been lenient to you, you have been dilly dallying for quite some time, and they should have deported you as soon as possible. Your issue does not have any business to do with human rights as you can travel with your baby without any problem. (Get temporary documentation from SA embassy).
Another issue - when you enter a foreign country as a tourist you should have enough money to cater for yourself and any eventualities. How much money did you declare when you entered? It seems your husband does not really care about the wellbeing of his family and hence the Immigration does not believe whatever you say.
Tokyo Let me tell you something.Salaam Aleikum Kahtaan, I hope last night's Daku wasenough to energize you this morning!
Since you claim that I have no heart ofhelping people like other Tanzanians, I have taken the task of helping you tocorrect your English grammar fished from your very own comments here. I hope itis useful to improve your English skills. I'm not the beast you try to portrayme here but rather a gentle soul. I'm however a straight forward person, I don't hide behind the bush, something many fellowTanzanians are not used to handle and confuse/misunderstand it with arrogance. Either way, itdoesn't bother me much.
The first sentence is yours, and the second one is mine (the correct one).
You might think that's crazy! but its thefacts!
You might think that's crazy but it's the FACT.
Some EVIL PEOPLE have decided to live alife of corruptions, and because of that, A lot of US will pay the price.
Some evil people have decided to live the life of corruption and because ofthat, we are forced to bribe them to get any public services.
mr Tokyo40i was born and bread in Tanzania!i know my country like my own house!
Mr. Tokyo40, I was born and bred in Tanzania. I know my country likethe back of my HAND!
Especially when it comes to permits andlicences and immigration issues! or taxation, even healthy service!!
…….even HEALTH services!
I dont know which country you are comingfrom ! or which nationality you are holding but!
….. country I come from is the same as my nationality of that country… BUT …what???…..you never finished the sentence.
Tanzania authorities stinks "CORRUPTIONS BIG TIME" Starts from secondarygovernment institutions all the way to the Heads of the Country!
……….STINKof corruption big time. STARTING from ……. All the way to the HEAD OF STATE.
Expecting mothers to get a basic serviceTHEY HAVE TO BRIBE!,
Expecting mothers have to bribe to get basic services!
Even when you want to use a publictoilet(if there is any!] for a quick sh...t! YOU HAVE TO BRIBE TOO!!!!
Is there such a thing as a slow or a quick shit? Besides, it is rude torefer to "take a shit" in public conversations, it is preferable to use theterm "going to the toilet to relieve yourself".
SO i dont know which Tanzania you are living which yousay
So which Tanzaniaare you living in????
Work the systemthe way you want but without BRIBING those Evils in positions, my friend youwill play a guitar and dance yourself! no one will dance with you!
"Play theguitar and dance yourself and no one will dance with you" makes no sense inEnglish. You have probably translated Swahili expression directly into Englishlike many people here.
You cant make a conclusion just because shedo not mention a lot about her Husband!?
You can't make such conclusion based on thefact that she doesn't mention her husband often.
You dont know how she is going through withall this visa and permits nightmares!?
You need to understand what she is going through at the moment (with allTHESE visa and permit problems).
May be the Husband is not cooperativeenough or disable or very poor Guy who is struggle even to find a daily bread!!
in Regards to Bagamoyo and healthy service and all that!
…….who is struggling. (struggling to find his bread and butter, poor guyand struggling in life is the same meaning.
So i cant see why you suspect that poorlady, all i suggest is ! as you seemsto have a lot of confidence about the system in TANZANIA!
why dont you arrange a meeting with that poor lady! and help her!?
You lost me here. I suggested to her thatit would have been better to bribe and get her paperwork like 99% of the peoplein Tanzania do, rather than be a commando and cross the border and come backagain in order to get her visa stamped renewed. I have ZERO confidence in Tanzania, but IKNOW, like most Tanzanians, how to play with the system to get what I want. Ihave already accepted that I am part of the problem not the solution to thecorruption issue, I will leave it to others to fight it.
Now you understand that "D" grade? I hope Ihave been helpful in improving your English.
Have a delicious Futari!
TAKBIR!!

Mheshimiwa Kahtaan, Salaam Aleikum! Nategemea umepata Daku ya Nguvu Jana na unaendelea na afya njema na thaumu yako.
Kwanza, nimefurahi kusoma Majibu yako hata Kwamba hayaniridhishi. Mimi nitafunga na wewe Kama wewe unafuata Sheria zote hizi za Kiislamu:
1. Kutotumia aina yote ya kinga dhidi ya Mimba, iwe kondom Au dawa kwa mke au mchumba Wako pamoja na kufunga kizazi.
2. Hupokei RIBA benki.
3. Unaishi chini ya Sharia law katika Maisha yako hivi sasa.
4. Hukai na kuzungumza na mwanamke au kutongoza mwanamke Kabla ya kumuoa.
Jambo ninalotaka kusema ni kuwa ni Vigumu Kuishi Karne ya 21 kutumia Sheria za Karne ya 15! Kufunga au kusali pekee haukufanyi wewe mwislamu zaidi yangu kwa kuwa sifungi.. Na kila nchi inavyooendelea na kutajirika basi Dini inazidi kuwa nyuma. Huwezi kukuta kwa mfano ulaya mwanamke yupo chini ya mumewe Kama mtumwa wake. Tabia hii ipo kwenye nchi masikini kwa kuwa wanawake wengi Hawana elimu na kutegemea kulishwa. Mwanamke na elimu Yake na pesa zake huwezi kumwendesha hata kidogo kinyume na Sheria za Dini zinazotaka afate amri ya mumewe! Kwa hivyo Kama mimi nitakwenda Motoni, nitakwenda. Nipo radhi na Maisha yangu ya dunia hii ya hapa na Kama nitaadhibiwa huko Motoni, basi Nipo tayari.
Niliposema familia na rafiki ni muhimu kuliko watoa maoni hapa nimemaanisha kuwa sitakasirika na hoja au Majibu yanayoandikwa na watu wa barabarani. Sio kuwa siwasaidii watu nisiowajua.
Swala la kiingereza, jibu lako ni la kawaida kwa wengi hapa. Watanzania ni wabishi sana. Mwonyeshe mkalimani wowote atakupa "D" Akisoma kiingereza chako. Kina makosa chungumzima ya grammar na Sio typing errors. Usikasirike ukiambiwa kuwa Kiingereza chako kinahitaji msaada wa Mwalimu. Hii Sio fikra ya mkoloni au utumwa. Huwezi kukaa na fikra za ujamaa na kujitegemea! Kiswahili Sio lugha ya kimataifa ya biashara duniani. Kama hujifunzi lugha ya biashara kwa kuwa ni "lugha ya mkoloni" basi unajipeleka nyuma kimaendeleo kwa kuwa fikra zako ni za miaka ya Nyerere. Mimi nalaumu elimu Duni!
Kuhusu Huyu mama, Kama nilivyokubia mwanzo, Alikuwa haeleweki. Angekwenda ubalozini Kwao na wangempa msaada wote. Nia yangu ipo pale pale ya kusaidia wanaotaka msaada. Tatizo lake yeye na mumewe Hawana fedha!! Tanzania inaongoza kwa rushwa na Mimi sina muda wala Nguvu za kupigana na afisa serikali mwenye Njaa . As long as there is poverty,there will be corruption. Whether in Tanzania or USA.
Futari Njema.
