[Tinker]

waziri wa Biashara anapiga tripu tuu nje ya nchi

 

[TIMING]

kufunga watafunga sana tu;

1. wana bei za ajabu haziendani na quality
2. kodi za pango sio realistic
3. wizi wa materials kutoka kwa staffs
4. mfumo mzima wa ukwepaji kodi unasababisha walio kariakoo kukwepa ushuru hivo walipa kodi na walio open kwenye biashara kuumia
5. bei zao ni outrageous
6. target markey haina peza za kuspend... the same product ukicheki similar shop in SA bein inakua half

Ni kweli kabisa Mkuu. Wakati mwingine tunakosa kujitendea haki wenyewe. serikali imekuwa ikiahidi kila mwaka kurekebisha mambo kadhaa ili kuwezesha urahisi wa kufanya biashara, lakini imebakia kuwa blah blah tu. Wenzetu kenya, Uganda na Rwanda wanaangalia sana hizi ripoti za doing business na kufanya yale yanayoonekana kuwa yanawakwamisha... sisi tunazidi kupiga siasa tu

Mkuu, sidhani kama hapa serikali inatakiwa ilaumiwe.
Serikali imetengeneza mazingira mazuri kwa raia yoyote kufanya biashara anavyojiskia provided ni biashara halali. Tatizo ni letu sisi wenyewe.

They have a valid reason to complain but wasilaumu tu rents and the so called "thin middle class" layer. Hawa jamaa hawakufanya homework yao vizuri, probably they thought they would have a plain sailing ride.

Sijaona wakizungumzia ushindani. Clothing market is one of most competitive market in the country and people do buy, but kuna ishu ya quality matching prices. I've been in their shops, unakuta Tshirt ina rangi za ajabu ajabu, bei elfu 80, wakati Mwenge kuna more than 100 shops with better ones at a lower price.

Either way, they have learnt their lessons and we should learn ours.

Josephine is right, hayo majengo mengi yamejengwa kwa mikopo, yakikimbiwa na wateja yatashindwa ku meet banks installments. Yatatakiwa kuuzwa, je nani atanunua kitu kisicho na demand? Banks zilifanya research too late wamegundua kuwa biashara ya real estate itaangua baada ya mwaka 1 na itakuwa na big impact kwenye uchumi wa TZ. Na sasa ma bank hayakopeshi tena Mortagage financing

True real estates are so artificial.....karibu ku compare up market residential house ,masaki na sandstone ..johanesberg....you can hardly get a bungalow with garden and pool at masaki for 2 m dollars ....ukienda johanesburg upmarket neighborhood ..you get better than that for just usd 500'000

Tatizo kwenye uchumi wa nyumba ni kuwa serikali haija develop maeneo ya kutosha kwenye kiwango cha upmarket...mfano...tungekuwaa na mitAA YENYE lami na huduma zote muhimu ...segerea,kurasini,mbezi Moro,mbezi bagamoyo na ifanane na oyster bay ..bei ya nyumba zingeshuka...kwani picha ya sasa ni kuwa middle class wanaongezeka na wote wana dream Kuishi ..upanga,mikocheni ,masaki na oyster bay....ndio maaana bei zinapanda......tukiweka facilities huku kwinginee...bei ya nyumba zitaanguka na watu wataweka mikono kichwani.....

Kuna aliyeongelea spending level ya middle class's wetu..tatizo tumetoka kwenye uchumi wa kijamaa.....ndio maana unakuta bado watu wengi wanaoibukia kiuchumi ...wanakuwa wazito kwenda kutumia maeneo Kama sea cliff au mlimani....hakuna wenzao ...na wengi wanaoenda watuamie mahali watakapotambulkka....refer to five levels of manslow.......ila vijana wengi wa Hadi miaka 25 ...yaani watoto wa middle class ...wanaoenda ku spend ....hii inaashiria kuwa miaka mitano ijayo level ya kuspend ya middle class itaongezeka ........fanya utafiti Mdogo nenda mlimani city ...kuna vijana wengi pale Hawaogopi kutumia..wengine wa university ,wengine ndio wameanza kazi....watu Wenye miaka 35 kwenda juu ...wana hofu kiasi ya kutumia pesa ....wengi tumetoka kwenye umaskini au kuzungukwa na umaskini ....so tuna hofu kubwa ya kuwa maskini

Nchi ukitaka kujenga uchumi lazima watu wajengewe Tabia ya kutumia pesa...

Na sansa ma bank hayakopeshi tena Mortagage financing

Kwa hii reason uliyotaja ya mortigage financing sawa, but siyo ndani ya mwaka mmoja. Kwa tanzania especially DSM space za kupanga zinahitajika sana. Ukiangalia majengo mengi ya mjini, yanakuwa tayar yameshakuwa occupied fully kabla hata hayajakamilika.

Jiulize kwa nini Bilicanas walifunga MUCH MORE?

wafanya biashara wa kitz hawataki kuweka vitu vyenye standards kwa kisingizio kuwa watu hawataki standard

mbona RUNWAY pamoja na kuwa ni expensive watu wanapenda kwenda au kule MEDITEREANEO?

nawalaumu wafanyabiashara kuwafanya watu wote wajinga

jiulize ile BREAK POINT inafanya nini pale mjini na uchafu wote ule unaouzwa mle?


mimi pia namlaumu waziri wa biashara

 

[FJM]

Ukweli kodi za Tanzania ni mgogoro. Mfanyabiashara anapolipa kodi kubwa kwa vyovyote vile anapandisha bidhaa bei ili ifidie gharama zake. Mwishoni bei za vitu zinakuwa juu na hivyo biashara inashindikana kama ambavyo sasa hawa Truworths wanafunga maduka. Hii sio mara ya kwanza kusikia wafanyabiashara wakilalamika kuwa mazingira ya biashara Tanzania sio mazuri.

Kuna gap kubwa sana kati wa serikali (kwa maana ya policy maker) na hali halisi huku mtaani. Unless wizara husika e.g Viwanda na biashara, uwekezaji, fedha na Ardhi zikae chini na kuangalia upya mambo, Tanzania itakwama. Ndio tuna biashara huria, lakini siamini huria tafsiri yake serikali inajitoa kabisa kwenye mambo ya msingi kama renting issue. Ni sifa mbaya sana kwa nchi kama hizi international brands zinashindwa kufanya biashara nchini. Tunashindwa hata Rwanda ambayo uchumi wake ni fraction ya Tanzania?

Na ukienda mbali zaidi, hawa wenzetu wa nje watafunga maduka na kurudi kwao, je, kwa mtanzania anayekwazika kwa kutokana na gharama kubwa aende wapi? Tukumbuke mtu akifunga duka madhara hayaishii kwake peke yake, kuna wafanyakazi wanaopoteza ajira, familia za hawa wanaopoteza kazi nazo zinapata madhara. Kwa kifupi ukifanya mahesabu utakuwa madhara yake ni mengi mengi mengi sana. Huwezi kuondoa umaskini kama hakuna mkakati wa kusaidia watu waliojiari.

Jambo jingine, ni utozwaji wa kodi kwa curreny ya nje (USD). Ndio shillingi yetu inayumba lakini kwa nini waziri wa fedha na governor wa bank kuu wanaendeleza ngojera? Nani asijue kuwa kama Tanzania ingekuwa inajiwekea hazina ya gold shilingi yetu ingepata nafuu? Nani asijua jinsi makapuni yanapeleka hela nje kwa visingizio kuwa accounts zao ziko huko? Sasa hivi Tanzania ina representative karibu kila bank kubwa duniani, kwa nini kampuni ziruhusiwe ku-bank nje ya nchi? Hii capital outflaw ni aibu.

Awe mkweli huyu jamaa anadai kuwa Dar kuna MALL 2 tu?
MLIMANI CITY
SHOPPERS PLAZA-Msasani
SHOPPERS PLAZA-Masaki
MAYFAIR PLAZA
SEACLIFF VILLAGE
QUALITY CENTRE
Bado nyingine ndogo ndogo...O'bay Shoping Centre,JM Mall,Tevi etc kingine kinachofanya WaTZ tusiwe na utaratibu wa ku-shop ni utitiri wa Boutique na Groceries stores zilizopo kila baada ya mita 10... Kampala,Lusaka,Nairobi,Kigali hakuna hilo pole zenu wa-Kenya...

 

[mwaJ]

Hata hivyo inabidi authorities zinazohusika,kuliangalia hili...

Ofisi zangu zilikuwa Mayfair building,na tulianza na makampuni mengi pale,hadi Shoprite... Lakini ofisi zilianza kufungwa moja baada ya nyingine,baada ya muda kwa kuona,kodi ni kubwa,kulinganisha na biashara yenyewe...

Tatizo ni kwamba suala la rent hakuna anaye regulate. Kila mwenye property anajipangia rent kivyake yaani kwa style ya 'take it or leave it'.

 

[Ngoromiko]

You need your own,je umeshafanya tafakari juu ya kile kilichoongelewa?

Biashara nyingi zilizo kwenye majengo makubwa zitafungwa nyingi,kwasababu zinaendeshwa kwa hasara sana.na moja ya sababu ni kodi.Majengo yote yanatoza kodi kwa dola,na dola hapa kwetu haina msimamo kila kukicha inapaa kama njiwa
angani.

Kwa Taarifa hayo ya kwenu unayozungumzia yameshaanza kufungwa mda,tunakwenda kushuhudia anguko kubwa sana la uchumi miezi miwili ijayo.
Hata ninyi wakina Rejao mtakwenda kubadili kauli zenu,kwani ushabiki utawashinda.

Hiyo red naona imekaa mbali na ukweli. Hakuna dalili hizo, kufungwa kwa biashara moja si kiashiria cha kutosha cha hali hiyo.

Ongea kwa data mzee, nenda Quality plaza wakupe data wangapi wamefunga na kurudi kariakoo, nenda mlimani city ulia number of evacuation. Benjamini Mkapa Towers na Millenium Towers. Nimekutajia mfano wa majengo machache maarfufu. Acchana na machache ya gorofa 3-5 yaliozagaa mjini. o

and she has supporters hapa JF kuwa anaonewa

The problem starts here....

 

[fredmlay]

kaka kwa nini rent ipo juu? demand na supply with the absence of the governmet?..

Tatizo ni kuwa majengo mengi ya biashara yamejengwa kwa mikopo yenye riba kubwa na muda mfupi wa kuilipa, kwa mfano mikopo ya uwekezaji kama $15mill inapaswa kulipwa ndani ya miaka 5-8 unategemea nini wakati riba ni 9% kwa $ na 16% kwa TZS? Kwa kifupi Benno Ndulu na wenzake (MOF) ndio tatizo maana BOT haipo tayari kushusha viwango vya riba.. kuna jamaa kakopa CBA aka-burgain riba kwa kiwango fulani mwisho akaambiwa wakishuka chini ya hapo wataingia kwenye mzozo na BOT japo wanaweza kushuka zaidi.. tunapaswa kushusha viwango vya riba toka double digit to single digit ili kuinua uchumi wetu.

 

[Chupaku]

Na sababu zoote hizo fine! Pia nguo zao ni za poor
quality bado mr. Price naye anauza poor quality clothes. Ukinunua tshirt ukifua inageuka kanzu inafika kwenye magoti

Kweli kabisa Nguli, hao biashara imewashinda kwa mengine. Hiyo Truworths ina nguo bei ghali sana sana na ni za kawaida. Hao Mr price, 4u2 wana nguo mbaya sana, hata branding hamna sijui wananunua wapi manake hata brand label wanatoa na size wanatoa. Kwa kifupi ni wamachinga wale.
However, I agree that rental charges are on the higher side.

 

[kweleakwelea]

Tanzanias economy is still PEASANTRY.....

people fails to afford their meals......actually, we eat what is JUST AFFORDABLE AND AVAILABLE...not the FOOD OF OUR CHOICE...

to be sucessfull you must be selling CHUMVI, MAHARAGE, UNGA VIBIRITI, SABUNI YA UNGA ETC.....

hizi ndio sababu hata wawekezajoi katika hotel and hospitality industy wanafail na kupuga U-Turn

simply, pia fedha ya TANZANIA iko mikononi mwa watu WACHACHE..so they can not but allllllllllllllllllllllllllll the items in those malls......

this is why Tanzania has to rethink its economy to enable people have cash....and increased purchasing power!!!!!

ni somo kwa MATAJIRI NA MAFISADI WETU not untill you enable people to purchase you can sell..

napita tu!

Mkuu Tusker Baridi, hawa jamaa wameshindwa tuu kufanya biashara kwa sababu bei zao sio attractive kwa level ya middle class ya Tanzania japo nakubali ni kweli reantal fee ya nyumba ni kubwa, ukweli ni kuwa hao waiowatarget kama middle class kwa bei zao, wan ao aford sio middle class bali ni high class ambao wana access kupata kila kitu huko vinakotoka.

Mimi nina six kids, (3 girls na 3 boys) last December ile nyingine, nilitoka na family for X-mass shopping, nikaanzia W-Store pale mjini, nilipata vitu vya maana vya only small ones. Takaingia duka la pili lile la jeans za Levi Straus, ndio hili la hawa jamaa, kabinti kakapenda jeans, kuuliza bei naambiwa TZS 138,000, binti anang'ang'ania kuwa etiu ni fashion ya sasa iliyotoka na mama yao akasupport, Kaka yake na dada yake ambao ni ma teenager, wakashauri "Dada kama ....anaitaka jeans hiyo, nipe 50,000 tuu nikamnunulie mahali!. Kusema ukweli tulitoka bila kununua chochote humo ndani!.

Maadam wale wawili wadogo wameshapata nguo, wale wawili wakubwa wakaomba wapewe pesa wao na waende na wadogo za "mahali" wakawanunulie nguo. Niliwapa, japo concern ya mama yao, wasije wakatinga Kariokoo kutuzolea mchina, my boy akasema no, mchina tunamjua, wee leta pesa tunakuja na nguo za ukweli!. Kilichofua walirudi na nguo za ukweli za level ile ile ya maduka makubwa!. Ndipo wakasema kuna viduka tuu mitaa vinaleta nguo za ukweli na bei ni poa!. Kama ni hivyo, nani aende Mlimani city akachinjwe?. Acha wajiondokee tuu nao walikuwa wanatukamua sana!.
