FORCE will not be used to evict thousands of residents from unsurveyed plots on Igogo, Bugando, Mabatini, Isamilo, Kitangiri and Kilimahewa hills in Mwanza, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Celine Kombani told the National Assembly here yesterday.
Ms Kombani was responding to Mkiwa Kimwanga (Special Seats-CUF), who had expressed her worries over the alleged government plans to remove by force about 40,000 residents from the hills.
However, Ms Kombani clarified that those who built their houses after 2003 would be asked to leave as the city, in collaboration with the local government, had outlawed further building of houses in the area.

Any solution to lake Victoria travel blues?
From IPP Media, Dar es Salaam
By Staff Writer Darius Mukiza
The company whose ship stalled two weeks ago on Lake Victoria igniting un precedented panic to passengers is strangely advising against use of any other ferry boats except its ships which it says are the most reliable under the rough conditions of the lake.
MV Victoria, one of the three-ship fleet of MSC, swayed uncontrollably for about two hours only 30 km to Mwanza port on its voyage from another lakeside port of Bukoba and again stalled hardly 100 metres before it could anchor at Mwanza North port on Saturday, sending alarms throughout Tanzania as wary passengers frantically kept their relatives worried as they stuck to their mobile phones.

TAIFA Stars head coach Marcio Maximo was full of praises for his boys after holding Lions of Teranga 1-1 yesterday in Mwanza.
"I am proud of my boys and I believe all Tanzanians are proud of this team. Senegal were favourites but we showed what we are capable of," said Maximo. He added: "We deserved victory, but we still have a chance to reach Ghana next year provided we collect three points from the match against Burkina Faso."
The Senegal Polish coach, Henry Kasperczak, also admitted that the ball possession shown by Taifa Stars indicated that the Tanzanian team lacked confidence during the first leg tie in Senegal when Taifa Stars lost 4-0.

SPORTS NEWS: Win or lose, let’s cheer Taifa Stars
From Daily News, Dar es Salaam
By G. Madaraka Nyerere
Letter from Butiama:
THERE was a lot of excitement in Mwanza ahead of Taifa Stars’ match against Senegal’s national soccer team this week. On Wednesday there was a traffic jam at the airport’s parking area when a large group of fans and Mwanza residents convened to welcome their national team on a scheduled Air Tanzania flight from Dar es Salaam.
I had other worries. Would I be able to pick up an arriving passenger and drive off ahead of the Taifa Stars and fans’ convoy so that I would not be held up by traffic? Maybe Dar’s residents are getting used to traffic, but it will take a few hundred years for Butiama’s residents to reach that stage.

SPORTS NEWS: Go, Taifa Stars go
From Daily News, Dar es Salaam
Editor's Comment
TAIFA Stars host Senegal's Lions of Teranga at the CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza tomorrow in an African Cup of Nations qualifier, which Tanzania must not lose if they are to keep alive their dreams of qualifying for the finals in Ghana, next year.
Senegal lead Group Seven with six points after two wins and one loss, while Tanzania, who have four points, are joint second with Burkina Faso. Mozambique are rooted to the bottom of the group with two points. After the Saturday's match, Taifa Stars will be left with two matches - an away fixture against Burkina Faso and a home tie against Mozambique.
Therefore, Taifa Stars should make their home venue advantage count by upsetting the Star-studded Lions of Teranga in front of thousands of home fans led by President Jakaya Kikwete in the Rock City. There are 12 qualifying groups, where each group winner qualifies automatically for Ghana. They will be joined by the top three runners-up from the groups made up of four teams.
