I doubt if he is pro-Nyerere, maybe a quasi sample of one of his article does not him justice - here is some sort of a representative selection:

Massive infusion of capital, long leaseholds of land needed to revamp agricuture - http://www.pamoma.com/stream/478-mi...easeholds-of-land-needed-to-revamp-agricuture

A tale of two terrorists: Trying Anders Behring Breivic, in place of Osama bin Laden -http://www.businesstimes.co.tz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1859:a-tale-of-two-terrorists-trying-anders-behring-breivic-in-place-of-osama-bin-laden&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=57

Anti-banks legislation and the presidency of Barack Obama - http://www.businesstimes.co.tz/inde...obama&format=pdf&option=com_content&Itemid=29

I see he is not pro Nyerere, at least from the first article you brought here earlier.

Or is that the element of critical objectivity?

I will say the guy has balls, I haven't read the ones I am quoting now but I can't help chuckling at how I will relish a fresh touch from our local talents on world stage matters.

Almost like reading an "Economist" article written by a local journalist?

Or would you notch it down to "Businessweek"?

It seems I have been underrating the local press, and in doing so, I am missing some crown jewels.

Thanks for the links.

Hahahaha....Haki ya Mungu. You really had to write all these complex vocabularies to make a point.

Complex is relative. Ndiyo maana nikaandika standards zetu zinaweza kuwa ndogo na hilo kunifanya mimi mahiri wakati kiukweli ni mambo ya kawaida tu.

Sasa mtu kama ulikuwa unasoma Newsweek na Time Magazine tangu uko na miaka 12 na kutuma mashairi yaliyochapishwa Sunday News by the time ukiwa na miaka 14 hayo maneno hayawezi kuwa complex.

AL SHARPTON you are in the same league with these guys.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not that eloquent and lofty enough to belong to their league. Wengine tulikimbia umande mkuu.

As they say, there is a thin line between genius and insanity, I think many a readers overlook him because of being mistaken for possessing the latter; surely he must be one of brightest bulbs in Tanzania that fall on the sideway because of the tyranny of the academy!

That makes two of us.

Moreover, one could argue, with the authority of a playwright laureate like George Bernard Shaw to back him, that almost half of English in itself, being a kaleidoscope of a potpourri of a smorgasbord of illogical amalgamation and constructs of mostly medieval if not ancient Indo-European dialects, is hardly impressive anyhow.

Swahili has a more elegant logic and is more phonetically aligned, therefore, more intuitive.

But I have yet to see a thread discussing who is the best Swahili writer at JF.

Hahahaha....Haki ya Mungu. You really had to write all these complex vocabularies to make a point.

There is this other guy, Karl Lymo, he is also a crown jewel, at least in terms of the mastery of the Queen's language for, as your already know, a literary maestro is not necessarily a master of logic though one can hardly argue against the converse!

Insane or not, I enjoy a well written counterpoint from an iconoclastic outlier.

I am reading his piece on the land issue, agreeing that a better long term land ownership model is needed, even as I might not agree with his thinly disguised almost outright justification of land grabbing.

He is unapologetic and unequivocally adamant in "kumbana mbavu" Mkapa.

If they say Tanzania lacks freedom of the press, we ought to point out to this guy and say if they haven't locked him up, it may be bad but it can't be that bad.

I am currently reading Haynes Johnson, a real Pulitzer prize winner, his father was one too.

He must be turning over in his grave.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

criticism is acceptable but do not be hurt and make your partner feel humiliated
