Mtukwao, hata kama ikitokea kuwa hajafa, sidhani kama JF itakua imeshuka hadhi. Vyombo vya habari vinavyoheshimika duniani vilisema amekufa, vikasema tena hajafa, na vinaweza kuja kusema tena amekufa. JF nayo inaleta habari kama inavyozipata kama vilivyo vyombo hivyo. Kwa maana nyingine, JF iliandika jana kilichoandikwa na reuters leo. Huoni kwamba ni jambo la kujivunia na si kulaumiana?

dah nilikua kwenye high speed ikanibidi ni bofye zaidi kupata uhakika,kazi bado anayo Chiluba!!!!

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

kuna watu wanatafuta kila sababu kuona kuwa JF haina credibility... Mtu Kwao na wengine ambao wanapata exclusive report unless ni asilimia mia moja corroborated au unaamini source yako basi iweke kama definitive story. Lakini kama haina uhakika au haijathibitishwa iweke kwenye question mark. Ni rahisi zaidi kutoa question mark kuliko kusahihisha kitu kilichotolewa kama ukweli.

Au unaweza kutumia feature ya "tetesi"... ili kuonesha kuwa habari haina ushahidi wote unaotakikana.

Binafsi naona JF kila kukicha ndo inavyo zidi kukua na kujipatia umaarufu kama hivi kuna vyombo vingi vya habari hapa Tanzania vinapata news kupitia humhum JF.
Kweli hapa watu tupo update every second.

 

[Halisi]

Ila iko kazi humu JF, bado credility yetu haiwezi kushuka hata kwa mawe maana wengi wa wachangiaji humu hawachangii kwa kulipwa (japo wapo wachache) na hivyo watu watasema na kuweka vitu kwa moyo wao na si kwa kusukumwa

FACTBOX-Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa reported dead

Reuters - Thursday, July 3 10:54 am

(Reuters) - Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa died in a Paris hospital on Thursday after suffering a stroke earlier this week, a South African radio station reported, quoting a Zambian embassy spokesman.

Following are some facts about Mwanawasa.
* Born on September 3, 1948, the burly and emotional Mwanawasa built his reputation as a lawyer for the former opposition, cultivating an earthy image in the process.
* Mwanawasa suffered a stroke just before an African Union summit in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. He was rushed to hospital there and later taken to Paris.
* He chaired the Southern African Development Community and was a leading critic of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, whose widely condemned re-election in a one-candidate vote was a key topic at the summit.
* Mwanawasa became vice president in 1991 after Frederick Chiluba ousted founding President Kenneth Kaunda in landmark multiparty elections.
* He stunned observers soon after winning the presidency in late 2001 by turning on Chiluba and then won vocal Western support for launching the biggest anti-corruption drive since Zambia won independence from Britain in 1964.
* He narrowly defeated opposition leader Michael Sata in a presidential election in 2006. Sata accused Mwanawasa of selling out Zambia to Chinese and Indian companies.
* Mwanawasa has become a favourite of the International Monetary Fund and other Western donors who have extended billions of dollars in debt relief after his crackdown on government spending and anti-graft drive.
* Despite the debt relief package and major investments from China and India, Mwanawasa battled a growing public perception that his strong fiscal record had done little to benefit most of the 11.5 million people in the copper-rich nation.
* Mwanawasa suffered a minor stroke in April 2006 that prompted him to seek treatment in Britain, but in June 2006 he declared himself fit for office.

Zambia denies President Mwanawasa is dead

LUSAKA (Reuters) - Zambia's vice president denied on Thursday media reports that President Levy Mwanawasa had died, saying he was in a stable condition in a Paris hospital.

"The president had (a) satisfactory night at the Percy military hospital in France. The news reports ... are not true," Vice President Rupiah Banda said in a statement.

Earlier on Thursday, South Africa's Talk Radio 702 reported that Mwanawasa had died, quoting a Zambian High Commission spokesman.

South African President Thabo Mbeki told reporters he had been informed by the executive secretary of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) that Mwanawasa had died.

Mbeki called for a minute's silence while attending a remembrance ceremony in Pretoria for victims of a recent wave of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

"The executive secretary of SADC called me to say the president of Zambia, Levy Mwanawasa, had passed away this morning," he said.

Mwanawasa, 59, an outspoken critic of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, was rushed to hospital on Sunday in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh after suffering a stroke just before an African Union summit.

Unaweza ukawa RIGHT gm...Kwani kufa kwa mwanawasa ni kufa kwa masilahi fulani..where as kuwa kwake hai ni manufaa yao.
Kufa kwake pia kuna upande mwingine wa shilingi...Kwamba mikataba yote mibovu aliyokuwa akitaka kuingia on top of hiyo mibaya amabayo tayari ina exist!
Tunataka mikataba ya kumnufaisha MWAFRIKA..IWE NI YA MCHINA,MWINGEREZA AMA MMAREKANI!
UTU NA UHURU WA MWAFRIKA NI WA KUZINGATIA!
LA SIVYO WANATAKA KUANZISHA VITA AFRIKA!
KAMA WANATAKA KUPIGANIA MASLAHI YAO..WAO NDIYO WAPIGANE MABOMU HUKO KWAO NA ATAKAYESHINDA AJE TUJADILIANE MIKATABA KWA MASLAHI YA WOTE!
NA SI KUJA NA KUIGEUZA AFRIKA BATTLEGROUND KAMA WALIVYOFANYA KWENYE WORLD WAR 1 AND 2!
