UONGOZI wa Klabu Bingwa ya Afrika Mashariki na Kati, Azam FC, unapenda kuwataarifa wapenzi wa soka kuwa winga wao Farid Mussa, leo amepata kibali rasmi cha kufanya kazi nchini Hispania.
Kwa muda mrefu Azam FC imekuwa ikisubiria kibali hicho ili mchezaji huyo akaanze maisha mapya ya soka nchini humo katika timu ya Deportivo Tenerife inayoshiriki Ligi Daraja la Kwanza.
Kufuatia kibali hicho kupatikana, Mussa anatarajia kuondoka nchini muda wowote kuanzia sasa kwenda kuitumikia timu hiyo.
Tunapenda mashabiki wa soka watambue kuwa Mussa anakwenda Tenerife kwa kwa makubaliano maalumu ya pande zote mbili ukiwa ni usajili wa mkopo na Azam FC itanufaika kupitia uhamisho wake mwingine atakaposajiliwa kwenda timu nyingine barani humo.
Tunaamini uwepo wake kwenye klabu hiyo utafanikisha kukuza kipaji chake zaidi pamoja na thamani yake kwa ujumla, ukizingatia bado ni mchezaji kijana anayeendelea kujifunza.
Kabla ya kibali hicho kutoka, kuna taarifa mbalimbali zilizotolewa zikiihusisha Azam FC kuwa tumemzuia kijana wetu huyo kujiunga na timu hiyo, lakini inaomba ieleweke kuwa kibali kilichotolewa leo hii ndicho kilichokuwa kikikwamisha uhamisho huo na tunamshukuru Mungu kimepatikana.

Tunaomba ieleweke kuwa, Azam FC haitafanya jitihada zozote za kuziba milango ya wachezaji wetu pindi watakapopata timu nje ya nchi, sisi tutakuwa wa kwanza kuwaongoza katika kufikia malengo yao makubwa ya kucheza soka la kulipwa kwenye maslahi mazuri endapo taratibu za usajili zitafuatwa.
Azam FC tunapenda kuishukuru Tenerife kwa kufanikisha uhamisho huo na tunamtakia mafanikio mema Mussa katika maisha yake mapya ya soka na tunaamini ataitangaza vilivyo timu yetu kimataifa na Tanzania kwa ujumla jambo ambalo litafungua milango kwa wachezaji wengine kuungana naye huko.

Imetolewa na Uongozi wa Azam FC

Jana usiku Azam TV kupitia kipindi cha MSHIKEMSHIKE VIWANJANI walithibisha kupatikana kwa kibali cha kazi cha kiajana Farid Musa kwa ajili ya kwenda kucheza soka la kulipwa kwenye klabu ya Tenerife ya nchini Hispania, lakini General Manager wa Azam FC Abdul Mohamed alisikika kwenye radio akithibisha kupokea kibali cha kazi cha winga huyo ambaye kwa sasa hajacheza mechi yoyote ya kiushindani tangu kuanza kwa ligi akisubiri safari yake kuelea Ulaya.

Wakala wa Farid Musa, John Sorzano amekanusha habari zilizozagaa kuwa tayari kibali cha kazi kimeshatoka na badala yake amesema hicho kilichotapakaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii si kibali ni form ambayo itatumiwa katika mchakato wa kuombea kibali.
Solzano ameshangaa form hiyo kutapakaa mitandaoni wakati ni kitu cha siri huku akisisitiza kuwa, wametumiwa Azam na yeye lakini kwa upande wa Tanzania, tayari form hiyo imeshaonekana kwenye mitandao ya kijamii. Kitendo cha hiyo form kusambaa mitandaoni huenda kukahatarisha Farid kupata kibali cha kazi.
“Hii form nimetumiwa mimi pamoja na klabu ya Azam, lakini nashangaa wao wameiweka mitandaoni wakati ni kitu cha siri, kwa upande wangu mimi nilifanya kuwa siri. Farid sio kwamba amepata kibali lakini mchakato bado unaendelea,” anasema John Sorzano wakala wa Farid Musa.

“Kitendo cha kuitoa form hadharani ambayo ni document ya serikali kinaweza kikahatarisha mchakato kwasababu ikumbukwe Tanzania pia kuna ubalozi wa Hispania ambao unaweza kuona yanayofanyika kwenye mitandao ya kijamii wanaweza wakahoji kwanini document hiyo imesambaa hivyo, inaweza kuleta ugumu.”

The Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) estimates that the country’s gas fields are large enough to cover the domestic power requirements and make Tanzania the next natural gas hub in Africa.

Kocha Mkuu wa klabu ya Yanga Hans van der Pluijm ameandika barua ya kujiuzulu kuifundisha klabu hiyo ya Jangwani.

Uamuzi wa Pluijm umekuja baada ya tetesi kuzangaa kwamba uongozi wa klabu hiyo unampango wa kubadili benchi la ufundi la klabu hiyo huku yeye kama kocha wa sasa akiwa hana taarifa rasmi kutoka kwa klabu.

“Nimeandika barua ya kujiuzulu kutokana na jinsi mambo yanavyokwenda, sikufurahishwa nayo. Nimeamua kujiuzulu na tayari nimekabidhi barua kwa uongozi wa Yanga, kama watapitisha nahitaji wanikamilishie stahiki zangu,” Van Pluijm amenukuliwa na chanzo cha habari hii.

Wakati huohuo, mzambia George Lwandamina amesema hajasaini mkataba wowote na Yanga ingawa amekiri Yanga inamuhitaji.

Amesema kwamba, kama watakubaliana yupo tayari kuja na kuipa Yanga mafanikio zaidi.

Baada ya kupanda daraja Sweden, Kilimanjaro FC kusajili Watanzania

BAADA ya kufanikiwa kupanda daraja, kutoka ligi daraja la saba hadi daraja la sita, Kilimanjaro FC-timu iliyoanzishwa na Watanzania nchini Sweden inakusudia kuongeza nguvu katika kikosi chao kabla ya kuanza kwa msimu mpya wa ligi daraja la 6 nchini humo.

Timu hiyo imeanzishwa kwa lengo la kuwasaidia wanasoka wa Afrika Mashariki siku zijazo kucheza soka barani Ulaya.


“Mikakati yetu ni kujiimarisha zaidi ili ikifika mwezi April mwaka ujao ligi itakapoanza tufanye vizuri zaidi ya ilivyokuwa katika ligi daraja la saba. Malengo yetu ni kutoka daraja la sita twende ligi daraja la tano,” anasema mchezaji wa timu hiyo, Shekhan Rashid nilipofanya naye mahojiano akiwa nchini Sweden.

“Tumejipanga kufanya maandalizi mapema, maana kila kitu kipo sawa, zaidi tunaomba Mungu tu atujalie atujalie uzima. Tutaangalia uwezekano wa kuongeza baadhi ya wachezaji kama watatu ambao ni Watanzania wako hapa Sweden ila hawakuwa na usajili. “

“Usajili wao utatuimarisha maana sasa ni ngumu kusajili mchezaji kutoka Tanzania, sheria hairuhusu. Kuanzi ligi daraja la 3 hadi ligi kuu ndiyo tunaweza kuleta wachezaji kutoka nje,” anasema Shekhan mchezaji wa zamani wa Simba SC, Mtibwa Sugar, Moro United na Azam FC za hapa Tanzania.

“Tunawaomba Watanzania waendelee kutusapoti na tunawashukuru sana kwa sapoti yao maana hii timu malengo yetu ni kuja kuwawekea njia wadogo zetu kurahisha wapate nafasi ya kucheza huku.”
“Kama nilivyokwambia, tukifika kuanzia daraja la tatu tunaruhusiwa kuleta wachezaji kutoka Tanzania kwani tutakuwa katika ligi za kulipwa na itakuwa faida kubwa sana kwa timu yetu ya Taifa.”

“Hakuna kingine, tunafanya hivi kusaidia Watanzania wenzetu. Furaha yangu na wenzangu waliopo huku ni kuja kuona watu wanafaidika na matunda yetu. Mungu atatusimamia kwa hili.”

Wiz Khalifa wears cool pants and so does his son, Sebastian.
The Taylor Gang rapper has announced BASH, a new fashion line through Junk Food Clothing inspired by his adorable 3-year-old.
“All the designs are based around Sebastian — all of his hobbies and the things that he’s into,” Khalifa told PEOPLE. “I just really wanted it to feel personal to him, so when he sees it, he gets excited. He’s 3 years old, so he might not understand the concept of having his own clothing line. But the fact that all of his favorite things are all over his clothes, it makes him feel special; it makes him entertained by what he’s wearing.”

It’s a natural progression for Khalifa and Bash because both are celebrated for their style choices. “I shop with him a lot, and we match often,” the proud dad explains. “He’s definitely got my sense of style. Everybody tells me how fresh he usually looks, from store-bought stuff, so we’re making his own stuff now.”
Children will be able to rock the line — which includes shirts, sweatshirts, and accessories — and so will their dads. The clothes range from about $35 to $50 in kids and $45 to $80 in men’s. BASH bomber jackets for kids are being sold for $150, while the adult bombers will retail for $250.
Khalifa and ex-wife Amber Rose welcomed Sebastian in 2013.


BASH launches Oct. 15 and will be available at Junk Food’s Venice, Calif. flagship as well as 

Kamati ya bodi ya ligi ya uendeshaji imetoa adhabu kwa vilabu kadhaa kufutia vilabu hivyo kukutwa na makosa mbalimbali.



Kubwa zaidi na lililokuwa likisubiriwa ni kuona hatua gani zitachukuliwa kwa klabu ya Simba kufuatia mashabiki wake kung’oa viti wakati wa mchezo wa ligi kuu Tanzania bara dhidi ya Yanga uliochewa October Mosi kwenye uwanja wa taifa.

Simba imetozwa faini ya shilingi 5,000,000 (milioni tano) pamoja na kulipa gharama za uharibifu wa viti uliofanywa na mashabiki wa klabu hiyo.


Soma taarifa rasmi iliyotolewa na TFF kuhusu adhabu mbalimbali zilizotolewa kwa vilabu vilivyokutwa na hatia katia makosa ambayo vilikuwa vikituhumiwa nayo.

Chama cha Soka visiwani Zanzibar ‘ZFA’ kimepokea kwa mikono miwili taarifa za klabu ya Yanga kumuandikia barua Waziri wa Habari, Utalii, Utamaduni na Michezo Zanzibar kuomba kuutumia uwanja wa Amaan kwa mashindano mbalimbali ambayo inashiriki ikiwemo ligi kuu Tanzania bara pamoja na mashindano mengine.
Afisa Habari wa ZFA Ali Bakar ‘Cheupe’ amethibitisha kuiona barua hiyo kupitia mitandao mbali mbali ambapo amesema wao kama ZFA hawana matatizo yoyote na wapo tayari hata baadhi ya michezo ya Ligi kuu Zanzibar kuisogeza hadi saa 12 jioni kuipisha Yanga au Yanga kucheza 12 jioni kupisha ligi kuu ya Zanzibar.
Amesema endapo Yanga wakikubaliwa kuutumia uwanja huo wa Amaa,  ZFA inaikaribisha Yanga visiwani Zanzibar.
“Tumeziona taarifa hizo kupitia mitandao mbali mbali, sisi ZFA tunathibitisha barua hiyo tumeiona, na  sisi kama chama cha Mpira wa Miguu Zanzibar hatuna pingamizi juu ya klabu ya Yanga ambao ni sehemu ya Jamhuri ya Tanzania, sisi tunawambia karibu Zanzibar na tupo pamoja ikiwa watapata ridhaa huko walipoomba,” alisema Cheupe.

Barua hiyo ya Yanga iliyoandikwa na Katibu wao Baraka Deuedit imetumwa moja kwa moja kwa Waziri wa Habari, Utalii, Utamaduni na Michezo Zanzibar huku nakala ikienda kwa Chama cha Soka Visiwani Zanzibar ‘ZFA’.

Shirikisho la Mpira wa Miguu Tanzania (TFF), limepokea barua kutoka Shirikisho la Mpira wa Miguu Ethiopia (EFF), ikielezea juu ya kufutwa kwa mchezo wa kirafiki wa kimataifa uliokuwa ufanyike Oktoba 8, 2016.
EFF imesema kwamba imelazimika kufuta mchezo huo ulikuwa kwenye kalenda ya FIFA kwa sababu za hali ya hewa si rafiki kwa sasa nchini Ethiopia.

Kwa barua hiyo, Kocha Mkuu wa Timu ya Mpira wa Miguu ya Tanzania (Taifa Stars), Charles Boniface Mkwasa atalazimika kuvunja kambi ya timu hiyo ambayo iliweka kwenye Hoteli ya Blue Pear iliyoko Ubungo, Dar es Salaam.
Mchezo huo uliratibiwa kwa mujibu wa kalenda ya Shirikisho la Kimataifa la Mpira wa Miguu (FIFA) ambalo huwa na kalenda ya wiki ya mechi za kimataifa kwa wanachama wake – Tanzania ni miongoni mwao. EFF, ndio walioomba nafasi hiyo.
Ingekuwa ni faida kwa Tanzania kama ingeshinda mchezo huo kwa maana kina alama za nyongeza kama inatokea unaifunga timu mwenyeji.
Matokeo yake yangekuwa ni sehemu malumu kupima viwango vya ubora na uwezo wa timu za taifa. Kwa sasa Tanzania inashika nafasi ya 132 kati ya nchi 205 wanachama wa FIFA zilizopimwa ubora. Ethiopia yenyewe inashika nafasi ya 126.
Argentina inaongoza ikifuatiwa na Ubelgiji anakocheza Mbwana Samatta – nyota wa kimataifa wa Tanzania. Samatta anacheza klabu ya K.R.C Genk inayoshiriki Ligi Kuu ya Ubelgiji. Timu nyingine bora kimataifa ni Ujerumani, Colombia na Brazil.

Katika Bara la Afrika, Ivory Coast ambayo ni ya 34 kwa ubora duniani ndiyo inayoongoza ikifuatiwa na Algeria, Senegal, Tunisia na Ghana

There's ample evidence that the gaze of others is highly compelling: We're more attuned to faces whose eyes are trained upon us than faces whose eyes are looking elsewhere. Even newborns pay more attention to faces whose eyes are gazing directly at them than to faces whose eyes are looking off in the distance.
You probably already know this if you've ever been trying to read in a coffee shop or on a subway but suddenly "feel" the stare of a stranger distracting you from your text. (You look up, look back at them, and they usually look away. Unless they're trying to hit on you, in which case they ask what you're reading, whether you come here often, what you're drinking, or where you're headed next, and you spend the next 45 minutes trying to end the conversation so you can finish that chapter.)
Thus the impact of eyes looking at us upon our concentration can work for or against our ability to stay focused. In many cases, us-directed gazes boost our ability to process information related to faces (i.e., concluding that a person is male or female) and enhance our memories of whoever was looking at us. Eye contact can also improve learning in general: A classic study by James P. Otteson and colleagues in 1980 found that young students whose teachers made eye contact with them during lectures had improved recall of verbal material after the class.

When, however, we're trying to focus on something other than a person's face or the information they're trying to deliver by talking to us with an intent stare, eye contact can distract us from non-facial information processing tasks (like that book you were trying to read...).

Other people's eyes also affect our self-awareness: Several studies have demonstrated that feeling looked at inclines people to become more attuned to their own body's physiological responses (heart rate, sweating, and breathing) as well as how they might be perceived by others (e.g., "Does s/he notice I have a toothpaste stain on my t-shirt?"). Mere images of eyes (think: paintings or pictures rather than an actual, IRL person) have even been found to make us act in a prosocial or reputable manner — and such images trump reminders that peers are present and/or will be judging us.
Additionally, we like people (and animated characters) more when these others appear to be engaging us with eye contact. Provided the eye contact is offered in a non-threatening situation, of course. Being gazed at by a potential mate has also been found to increase our attraction to them, so long as that potential mate also looks relatively happy (and/or we really weren't trying to tune out the world and focus on that next great American novel.)

In a recent review of the many powerful effects eye contact has on our behavior, cognition, and arousal levels, researchers Laurence Conty, Nathalie George, and Jari K. Hietanen explain that "direct gaze has the power to enhance the experience that the information present in the situation is strongly related to one's own person." They believe that the self-referential information processing brought about by feeling looked at "acts as an associative 'glue' for perception, memory, and decision-making." This can serve to enhance memory and make us behave more altruistically, they explain, by heightening "the salience of concerns about being a target for others' social evaluation and, consequently, concerns about one's self-reputation." (We do the right thing because we assume we're going to be judged, we're being watched, or, possibly, we just like the person whose gaze looks warm and we'd like to be nice to them out of sheer gratitude for having been favorably noticed.)

The researchers believe that eye contact can and should be used "for therapeutic purposes." They note "that the use of eye contact during therapeutic processes increase the patient’s appraisal of the therapist’s interpersonal skills and effectiveness." Given eye contact's ability to enhance memory for specific context-specific material, they have a hunch eye contact may be particularly helpful for people with Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer's Disease (AD), they write, "is characterized not only by memory impairments, but also by psycho-behavioral anomalies that necessarily appear at some point of the disease and impoverish the patient’s relations with others. Interestingly, the processing of eye direction as well as eye contact behavior seems to be preserved in patients with AD. This predicts that the W.E. [Watching Eyes] effects may also be preserved and may therefore be stimulated to improve the quality of social exchange of these patients."

Precautions should be observed, however, in subjecting people with certain diagnoses to excessive eye contact. The gaze of others can trigger intense feelings of shame and other negative self-evaluations in socially anxious individuals, for instance. And people who meet the criteria for borderline personality disorder are more apt to perceive negative emotions in others' facial expressions, potentially inclining them to interpret a kind or innocuous gaze as a threatening (or judgmental) stare.

Additional work suggests that when being confronted or challenged by someone, eye contact can serve to enhance perceived aggression. In fact, a study investigating the role of eye contact in persuasion found that direct gazes impaired actors' ability to change others' opinions, contrary to the assumption that eye contact always works in favor of increasing warm feelings between two people.
Research has shown that most people are comfortable with approximately 3.2 seconds of eye contact from a stranger — more if that stranger seems trustworthy; even more if that stranger later becomes a friend.


All in all, eye contact can have a memory-boosting, prosocial, and stimulating effect. As long, of course, as its wanted by the person being looked at. So if you're trying to use eye contact to your advantage, pay attention to the cues coming from the person you're staring at: If they're returning your gaze, lighting up, becoming more talkative, and straightening their posture or relaxing as you look into their eyes, you're doing great. But if they're shying away, acting nervous, looking annoyed, or they keep trying to turn their attention back towards the book you just distracted them from reading, it's probably a good idea to look (and possibly, go) away. 

In the past, I've written that people become angry in fairly predictable circumstances. Specifically, that people become angry when they perceive something as unpleasant, unfair, blameworthy, etc. That's prompted some questions, though, as to why some people get angry more intensely or more often than others. 

As a way of answering that, I'm going to turn to Dr. Jerry Deffenbacher's 1996 model of anger where he outlines how anger results from a combination of the trigger event, the qualities of the individual, and the individual's appraisal of the situation.

Trigger event
To start, let's look at the simplest part of this formula: the trigger event. There is always some sort of event that happens right before someone gets angry that serves as the trigger (e.g., being cut off in traffic, being insulted by a coworker). Typically, people think that their anger is caused by these situations and they say things like, "I got mad because I got cut off by the driver in front of me" or "that guy made me so mad." The implication here is that those events caused their anger directly, and there were no other mitigating factors. Of course, we know that can't be true. If it were, everyone would respond the same way to such situations. In other words, we would all react the same when we were cut off in traffic or when we were insulted.

Individual characteristics
What, then, are the other elements that cause our anger? First, there are the characteristics of the individual--in this case, the person who was cut off or insulted. Here, there are actually two things that matter: personality traits and the pre-anger state. Starting with the personality traits, we know that there are certain characteristics that make people more likely to experience anger (e.g., narcissism, competitiveness, low-frustration tolerance). While an exhaustive review of these personality traits is well beyond the scope of this post, it's perfectly intuitive that a highly competitive person would get angry when cut off in traffic since, to them, driving may be more of a competition with the others on the road. Likewise, a narcissistic person may think of himself or herself as the most important person on the road and be irritated by the other driver for that reason.
The second part of this, the preanger state, includes how the person was feeling physiologically and psychologically right before the situation. When people are tired, anxious, or already angry, they are more likely to respond with anger. Some of this has to do with simple physiological arousal. A nervous person already has an elevated heart rate so doesn't have as far to go to become angry.

Appraisal of the situation
Ultimately, though, whether or not we get angry in response to a particular situation has to do with how we appraise or evaluate the situation. To illustrate this, let me give you an example. About ten years ago, I was seeing a movie with some friends and, even though my friend was well over 17-years-old, he was carded when buying his ticket. The interaction looked like this:
My friend as he handed over his ID: "Are you serious?"
Guy at the counter as he looked at the ID and handed him his ticket: "Sorry, but we are told to ask whenever we are unsure."

That's it. It seemed pretty straightforward to me and, though I recognized that asking for the ID was probably unnecessary, it wasn't much of an inconvenience and it was remedied pretty easily. I thought it was over until we got into the theater and my friend said, "I can't believe that guy! Can you believe he thought I was under 17?!"
That wasn't the end of it either. For the rest of the evening, my friend kept bringing it up, talking about how this guy had tried to embarrass him, how he should be fired, and so on. When I mentioned that it seemed like a simple mistake, he got angry with me, saying, "No one should make a mistake like that!"

I can't tell you why my friend felt so strongly about it. Maybe looking young was personal to him for some reason.  Maybe there was something about how the guy asked for his ID that felt rude to him.  What I can tell you is that our appraisals of the event were very different and his appraisal led to him getting very angry.   

This is what psychologists refer to as cognitive appraisal and it's the cornerstone of Dr. Deffenbacher's model of anger. He argues that we get angry when we appraise a situation as blameworthy, unjustified, punishable, etc. In this instance, my friend had decided that this request was unjustified ("no one should make a mistake like that") and punishable ("he should be fired"). If he'd interpreted the situation a little differently (e.g., "that's a foolish request but it isn't a big deal"), he wouldn't have become so angry.


The important thing to remember about cognitive appraisal is that a person's anger-inducing interpretation or appraisal of a situation isn't necessarily inaccurate. This was an extreme example where my friend and I interpreted the situation in very different ways, and I would never go so far as to suggest that his interpretation was wrong and mine was right. In fact, as I've argued in previous posts, sometimes people are absolutely correct in their appraisal that they have been treated unfairly and, in those cases, anger is a perfectly reasonable emotion to feel.
