Keita apewa miaka miwili Simba

Clara Alphonce na Imani Makongoro
MWENYEKITI wa Kamati ya usajili ya Simba, Zacharia Hans Pope amesema kuwa wameridhishwa na kiwango kilichoonyeshwa na mchezaji, Komabil Keita na tayari wameingia naye mkataba wa miaka miwili kwa ajili ya kuitumikia klabu hiyo.

Hans pope alisema kuwa hivi sasa wanamalizia mazungumzo na klabu aliyotoka na wapo katika hatua ya mwisho ili wamuombee hati ya uhamisho wa kimataifa (ITC).

Alisema kuwa wameamua kumsajili mchezaji huyo baada ya mchezaji wao Mussa Mudde kuumia mguu na kutakiwa kukaa nje kwa muda huku akipatiwa matibabu.

Hans Pope alisema wataendelea kukaa na Mudde huku wakimtibu mpaka atakavyopona na hawatakatisha mkataba na mchezaji huyo kama ilivyoripotiwa awali.

Hata hivyo, Mudde alipoulizwa na Mwananchi kuhusu suala hilo alisema hakubaliani na jambo lolote la kukatwa au kutolewa kwa mkopo kwenda timu yoyote.

Mudde alisema kwa njia ya simu kuwa yeye hafahamu maendeleo mengine kuhusiana na usajili wake na Simba zaidi ya kusubiri apone na kuja kuitumikia klabu hiyo tofauti na taarifa kuwa amekubaliana na uongozi wa klabu hiyo kuhusiana na kutoichezea timu hiyo kutokana na kuwa majeruhi.

Alisema kuwa yeye anasoma habari zake kupitia mitandao na kushangazwa na taarifa hizo kwani sio za kweli.

ìMimi nilikuwa Tanzania (Dar es Salaam) hivi karibuni, niliitwa na uongozi, lakini mbali ya kuzungumza masuala ya matitabu, hatujazungumza suala lingine kuhusiana na mabadiliko ya mkataba, kuvunja, kutolewa kwa mkopo au utaratibu mwingine, baada ya kumaliza mazungumzo hayo nilirejea nyumbani, kwa kifupi sikubaliani na suala lolote kinyume na mkataba wangu,î alisema Mudde.

Alisema kuwa viongozi wa Simba wanatakiwa kuongea mezani tofauti na taarifa za sasa ambazo yeye anazipta kwa njia ya vyombo vya habari au kupigiwa simu na watu wake wa karibu.

ìLengo langu ni kucheza mpira na nimeumia nikiwa ndani ya Simba, nashukuru kwa kunitibia na sasa naendelea vizuri, ila mipango yao ya sasa ambayo itanifanya nikae nje ya klabu, si kubaliani nayo,î alisema.

Alisema kuwa anaamini kuwa viongozi wa Simba watafuata taratibu kwa mujibu wa sheria na kuiomba Shirikisho la Kandanda nchini (TFF) kuwa makini na suala hilo na wasikubaliane na jambo lolote mpaka kuwe na makubaliano.

Kigingi hicho cha Mudde kinalifanya suala hilo kuwa gumu kwa Simba na hiyo inatokana na taarifa za Afisa Habari wa TFF, Boniface Wambura kuwa makubaliano baina ya oande hizo mbili ndiyo kigezo cha wao kupitisha maamuzi.

Simba kwa sasa ina wachezaji sita wa kigeni kinyume na taratibu za TFF ambazo zinawataka kuwa na wachezaji watano. Wachezaji hao ni Paschal Ochieng (Kenya), Emmanuel Okwi (Uganda), Felix Sunzu (Zambia), Mudde (Uganda) na Daniel Akuffor wa Ghana.

Wambura alisema kuwa endapo Simba watakubaliana na mchezaji huyo kama ilivyokuwa kwa Danny Mrwanda wanaweza kufanikisha malengo yao.

Sunzu, Akuffor wampasua kichwa Milovan

Na Khatimu Naheka
KOCHA Mkuu wa Simba, Milovan Cirkovic, amesema idadi ya washambuliaji katika kikosi hicho, inampa ugumu wa kuamua nani acheze na nani asicheze.
Simba ipo jijini Arusha kwa zaidi ya wiki tatu sasa ikijiandaa na Ligi Kuu Tanzania Bara. Tayari Milovan ana ‘mashine’ saba zinazoweza kucheza kwenye safu ya ushambuliaji ambazo ni Felix Sunzu, Abdallah Juma, Daniel Akuffor, Kigi Makasi, Haruna Moshi, Mrisho Ngassa na Uhuru Selemani.
Milovan ameliambia gazeti hili kuwa, wachezaji hao wana viwango bora huku tofauti yao ikiwa ndogo, hali inayompa ugumu hasa katika mfumo anaotaka autumie, 4-3-3.
“Safu yangu ya ushambuliaji inanipa tabu katika kuamua nani aanze kwenye mechi kutokana na nyota wangu wote wanaocheza katika sehemu hiyo kuwa katika viwango bora.
“Tumecheza jana (Jumapili-dhidi ya Mathare United ya Kenya) tukatumia mfumo wa 4-3-3 lakini kila mchezaji aliyecheza katika sehemu ya ushambuliaji, ameonekana kuwa bora ingawa tofauti zipo lakini siyo kubwa sana, inapofikia hali kama hiyo kama kocha nafurahi lakini katika uamuzi inaniwia vigumu,” alisema Milovan.

Kim Kardashian planning another fake TV wedding

Fame whore Kim Kardashian sparked rumors of a possible wedding to good pal Kanye West when she tweeted this pic of herself wearing a wedding dress along with the caption “Late night fitting #pucci.”

West, 35, also sparked rumors when he commissioned a design for an engagement ring last month.

Kardashian, who is still married to her last victim, Kris Humphries, often demands exorbitantly priced engagement rings from suckers within weeks of ensnaring them in her traps. This is typical behavior of women with borderline personalities.

Parents, please educate your sons about women like Kim so they don’t fall into their trap.

As you know, female narcissists move fairly quickly when they spot a suitable target.

Men who are unfortunate enough to fall for a female narcissist find themselves in committed relationships within days. The female narcissist expects a proposal for marriage within weeks, and the poor guy feels rushed but he tolerates her demands because he believes he’s in love.

This sick cycle is repeated often by broads like Kim Kardashian.

According to an article on Psychology Today’s website titled How To Spot a Narcissist:
Women who score high on tests of narcissism consistently dress more provocatively than their more modest counterparts; male narcissists resort to displays of wit and braggadocio.
Female narcissists engage in more disagreeable verbal behaviors, arguing and cursing more—and using more sexual language.
Female narcissists are promiscuous and always searching for a better deal.
Female narcissists can abruptly lose their charm if challenged or threatened by their targets.
They often exhibit two-face behavior
They get angry when rejected, overreacting to small slights and punishing those who do not support their grandiose image of themselves.
Female narcissists get away with these behaviors because they are so beautiful and charming.

Chris Brown doesn’t care what you think…

On Tuesday, troubled singer Chris Brown tweeted this pic of himself wearing a skirt and leggings on his Twitter page. The androgynous photo left Brown’s fans confused about the message he is sending them.

Brown has been the subject of gay rumors almost from the moment he burst on the scene as a teenage phenom. One rumor has it that Brown beat Rihanna to a pulp in 2009 because she threatened to go public with the truth about his gay trysts with men.

But, according to my well-connected source, the 23-year-old singer is not gay. “He’s all man,” said my source.

WE MISS MJ! Happy 54th Birthday Michael Jackson!

Today would have been the 54th birthday of the King of Pop. Moonwalk to his memory inside...

The legacy of Michael Jackson lives on in the hearts of millions of fans around the world through his gift of music. And though his kids and family were recently engaged in a vicious public battle, the King of Pop's musical legacy still retains its fresh and timeless appeal.

And fans have also found other ways outside of music to keep Michael's legacy alive. Clark-Atlanta University now offers a course on singer called Micheal Jackson: The Business of Music. And Spike Lee is producing a documentary on MJ for ABC called "Bad 25." Spike said,

“This will be a very special Thanksgiving for all families to enjoy the genius of Michael Jackson. Big thanks to ABC for allowing people to witness the making of Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ album.”

OPRAH RECAP: Gabrielle Douglas ADMITS BULLYING & RACISM Nearly Made Her QUIT Gymnastics...And She HASN'T SPOKEN To Her Father!

Gold-medal winning gymnast Gabrielle Douglas gave a revealing interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter" where she admitted that she hasn't spoken to her father since the Olympics (because of her mother) and that she nearly quit the sport six months before the Olympics because of bullying. Deets inside.....

Oprah Winfrey visited West Des Moines recently where she talked to Gabrielle Douglas, the first African American gymnast to win gold in the "All-Around" Olympic competition. The duo visted the home were Gabrielle lived during her training and also the gym where she perfected her skills. During the chat, she revealed that she nearly left the sport because she was bullied by teammates. She also revealed her mother has prevented her from speaking to her military dad. Here are the highlights:


On being bullied at her gym in Virginia:

I felt like I was bullied and isolated from the group, and they treated me not how they would treat the other teammates.....I was getting racist jokes. I was being isolated from the group. I’d come home at night and cry my eyes out because ‘What did I do to deserve this?' One of my teammates was like, ‘Can you scrape the bar?’ and they were like, ‘Well why doesn’t Gabby do it? She’s our slave."

On fighting through the pain:

“I wanted everyone to know it’s still possible for anyone really. I wanted to make them know to never give up and always keep fighting, because though times may be tough, the sacrifices do pay off, so just keep pushing towards your dream and just love it at the same time and enjoy it.”

On contacting her father Sgt. Douglas:

“I don’t think it would be for the best" and “We’re kinda distant,” she said. She also revealed that her mother made her change her cell number so that her Dad has no way to reach her.

On the hair controversy:

She admits that the controversy hurt and she didn't learn about it until she looked herself up. “I searched it, just to see what they were talking about. I put Gabby Douglas and then it first says ‘Gabby Douglas hair’ like the first one on Google.”

A confidential source has provided Sandrarose.com with documents that they say is definitive proof of a financial connection between the sitting judge of the bitterly contested Raymond vs Raymond case and one of Usher Raymond’s attorneys.

As I told you earlier, gossip website TMZ reports that Tameka Foster-Raymond is planning an appeal of Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane’s controversial ruling to award primary custody of her sons to her ex-husband, singer Usher Raymond.

Foster-Raymond cites “bias” in Friday’s “unfair” ruling after she learned that the law firm representing Usher Raymond contributed $1,278 to Judge Lane’s campaign. The law firm, Warner, Mayoue, Bates and Nolan also threw a reception for the judge that helped raised an additional $24,000 for the judge’s re-election coffers.

John Mayoue was one of the attorneys who represented Raymond in the successful child custody case.

The Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct, describes the “basic minimal ethical requirements” of judicial conduct in the state of Georgia. And in order to meet the basic ethical requirements, judges and candidates are encouraged to “set up a campaign committee to raise and solicit contributions” to their individual campaigns.

A “Campaign contribution disclosure report” is required to be filed by all judges as part of the amended “Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Act of 2010″. Judge Tipton Lane filed her Campaign Contribution Disclosure report, as required by law, in 2008 — the same year she sought re-election to the Georgia Superior court, Atlanta circuit.

It wouldn’t take a shrewd individual very long to locate that contribution disclosure report, and go over it with a fine tooth comb to find the name of an attorney who contributed a tidy sum to a judge’s campaign.

Please note that Sandrarose.com is not accusing anyone of using any authority or leverage — financial or otherwise — to unduly influence the outcome of any particular court case.

RAY C INAUMA SANA!

KARIBU nyumbani Bongo bidada Rehema Chalamila ‘Ray C’. Wewe ni mwanamuziki mkali wa Bongo Fleva na Zouk uliyezaliwa Mei 15, 1982 mkoani Iringa nchini Tanzania.
Hujaolewa lakini ulipotua nchini wiki iliyopita ukitokea Kenya ulipokuwa umeweka makazi, ulitoa vigezo vya mwanaume unayetaka akuoe, kuwa awe mtanashati na asiwe maarufu wala pedeshee. Safi kabisa, nakusifu kwa hilo japo umri unakutupa mkono. Una umri wa miaka 30 sasa lakini bado ni mrembo mwenye mvuto. Utambulisho unatosha.
Kama ulikuwa hujui, mimi ni mmoja wa watu waliokuwa wakihudhuria shoo zako wakati ule ukisifika kwa jina la Kiuno Bila Mfupa kutokana na kujua kukizungusha vizuri unapokuwa jukwaani. Shoo yako ya mwisho niliyokushuhudia jukwaani na ukafanya vizuri ni pale kwenye Viwanja vya Leaders Club, Kinondoni, Dar katika Kampeni ya Zinduka! Malaria Haikubaliki, mbele ya Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, Februari 13, 2010. Acha kabisa, ulikonga nyoyo za watu. Kipo wapi kiuno bila mfupa mamito?
Tena nakukumbuka ulikuwa ukigonga shoo kubwakubwa za ndani na nje ya nchi kama China na Uingereza. Unakumbuka alipokuja mwanamuziki wa Marekani, Ja Rule ukapata nafasi ya kufanya naye shoo jukwaa moja? Connection na rapa huyo ziliishia wapi?
Ukashinda tuzo za muziki za Kili mara mbili ukiibuka kuwa Mwanamuziki Bora wa Kike mwaka 2004 na 2007. Mbali na hizo, ukajitwalia umalkia Afrika Mashariki, ukalamba zile za Kisima mwaka 2004. Ukateuliwa (nominated) kuwania zile za PAM mara tatu mwaka 2006, 2007 na 2008. Zimekwenda wapi zile tuzo mamito?
Inafahamika kuwa wewe ni miongoni mwa vijana watafutaji Bongo, hivyo kwa jina lako pekee, ulitakiwa uwe juu sana kimuziki, mshiko, majumba, mikoko mikali, kuibua vipaji na kurudisha fadhila kwa jamii kwa kujihusisha na uhamasishaji na kampeni mbalimbali kama ulivyofanya kwenye Zinduka! Malaria Haikubali.
Wakumbuke watu uliokuwa ukikimbizana nao kwenye gemu, sitaki kuwataja. Kama ulikuwa hujui, inawauma sana Watanzania hata kama unafanya vizuri huko kwa Rais Mwai Kibaki.
Ulipoanza kuyumba ni wakati ukiwa na uhusiano wa kimapenzi na rapa mkubwa Bongo wa Nako 2 Nako, Waziri Makuto ‘Lord Eyez’. Skendo zilikuwa ni nyingi, ikiwemo ile kubwa ya matumizi ya unga mweupe na sigara kubwa.
Ukagombana na media na matokeo yake ukatangaza kuokoka kabla ya kutimkia Kenya huku mama yako akikusihi kubaki nchini lakini ukawa sikio la kufa.
Kuteleza siyo kuanguka bidada! Pia yaliyopita si ndwele! Ukijiuliza maswali haya na ukapata majibu, ni rahisi kama kumsukuma mlevi kwa wewe kurudi kileleni kwenye gemu hapa Bongo.
Maswali yanayohitaji majibu ni je, uliteleza wapi? Je, mashabiki waliuchoka muziki wako hadi ukatimka nchini? Je, muziki unalipa zaidi Kenya? Je, hukutunga mashairi mazuri? Je, ulikosa sapoti ya wadau? Je, hukufanya promo (matangazo) ya muziki wako? Je, ulikosa shoo za kukuingizia kipato ili ujiendeleze? Je, kipaji kiliisha Bongo kikawa kinafanya kazi zaidi Kenya? Unahitaji vitu gani urejee kwenye muziki Bongo?
Come on! Kiuno Bila Mfupa, hivi unajua wewe ni madini? Rudi kwenye muziki wa Bongo bado unakuhitaji, ukizingatia wanawake mpo wachache kwenye gemu. Nimekuandikia kiroho safi kwani najua bado upo nchini kwa hiyo umenisoma. It’s for the love of game!

WASANII WATAKIWA KUIJENDELEZA KITAALUMA

Mkufunzi wa masuala ya uandaaji wa Filamu kutoka taasisi ya Sanaa na uandishi wa Habari (IAMCO), Ngalimecha Ngahyoma, akizungumza jambo katika Jukwaa la Sanaa, kulia ni Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Waandishi wa Habari za Sanaa na Utamaduni (CAJAtz) Hassan Bumbuli na kushoto ni Katibu Mtendaji wa BASATA Ghonche Matereg

Wasanii wa nchini wametakiwa kujiimarisha katika masuala ya taaaluma ili waweze kufanya kazi zenye ubora na zinazokidhi mahitaji ya soko la ndani na nje ya nchini.
Akizungumza katika Jukwaa la Sanaa jana, mkufunzi wa masuala ya uandaaji wa filamu hapa nchini Ngalimecha Ngahyoma amesema kumekuwa na matatizo mengi katika uandaaji wa kazi za filamu hapa nchini kutokana na wasanii kutokuelewa misingi ya uandaaji wa filamu.
“Kuna maeneo ya msingi ambayo yanahitaji watu kubobea ili kuyafanya kwa utimilifu, na hakuna njia ya mkato ni lazima kuyapata shuleni kwa maana lazima mtu ufundishwe. Wasanii wengi wanatumia vipaji vyao, lakini matokeo ya kufanya mambo kwa vipaji ndiyo haya ambayo yanatupa filamu zenye matatizo katika maeneo mbalimbali,” alisema.
Alisema ni muhimu kwa wasanii kuacha kufanya kazi kwa mazoea na badala yake kuanza kuandaa kazi kitaalamu ili kufanya kazi zilizobora na kwamba ni vyema kutumia wataalam katika maeneo yote yanayohitaji utalaam badala ya mtu mmoja kufanya kazi zote.

Popescu: Only huge Real Madrid fans think Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi

The former Barcelona defender also joked that he would have proposed to former coach Johan Cruyff had the Dutch icon been a woman

Former Barcelona captain Gheorghe Popescu believes only huge Real Madrid fans can argue Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi.

The superstar duo both scored in the first leg of the Supercopa Clasico on Thursday when the Catalan club was the 3-2 winner, with the second leg to be contested at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Popescu, who played at Camp Nou for two seasons 1995 and 1997, has no doubt in his mind that Messi is a greater player than his Blancos adversary.

“You have to be a big Madrid fan to think Cristiano as better than Messi,” the ex-Romania international told AS. “Take away allegiance and there is no possible comparison between them.b“There is Messi and then there are others. Cristiano is a great player but does not have the quality to win a game that only Messi has.”

The former Tottenham defender was made club captain after his arrival from White Hart Lane at Camp Nou by Johan Cruyff, the Dutch coach who is credited for many of Barcelona’s modern footballing philosophies today.

“Yes and I did not believe it myself,” Popescu admitted. “I think that [Cruyff] took the armband from Guillermo Amor, who was a legend at Barca, to give it to me, who had just arrived. No one understood, not even me, but I've never been so proud as when I was captain of the club."

"If Cruyff had been a woman, I would have proposed every day!" the 44-year-old joked. "Nobody made me play with as much confidence as he did."

Pep Guardiola’s impact on the fortunes of the Blaugrana has been heralded by many, and Popescu believes not even the now-revered coach himself could have expected he would succeed to such a level.

“I do not think even he imagined [so much success]” he added. “But you could tell he was a leader, a guy with a lot of character, who was born and raised in the club.”

ARSENAL DRAW AGAINST STOKE

Arsenal are still searching for their first goal of the season as they shared a tame goalless draw with Stoke.

Lukas Podolski had an early effort that hit the falling Andy Wilkinson's arm while Olivier Giroud's shot was just over as Arsenal finished strongly.

Stoke's Jon Walters was also wasteful and had no power in his late shot.

Rais Kagame aipa tano Yanga

RAIS Paul Kagame wa Rwanda, ameipongeza klabu ya Yanga kwa kutwaa mara ya pili mfululizo Kombe la Kagame na kusema mafanikio hayo yanatokana na umoja na mshikamano ndani ya klabu hiyo.

Kagame, ambaye ni mdhamini mkuu wa mashindano hayo, alikutana wachezaji wa Yanga na viongozi wao katika hafla aliyowaandalia kwa ajili ya kuwapongeza iliyofanyika Ikulu ya Kigali Jumatano usiku wiki hii.

Yanga ilitwaa ubingwa mara ya pili mfululizo baada ya kuifunga Azam FC 2-0 kwenye Uwanja wa Taifa, ambapo mwaka jana ilifanya hivyo pia kwa kuifunga Simba 1-0 kwenye uwanja huohuo.

"Nawapongeza kwa ushindi wenu. Ni jambo zuri na inaonyesha ni jinsi gani mlivyo na umoja wa kweli katika michezo," alisema Kagame ambaye katika hafla hiyo uongozi wa Yanga ulimkabidhi jezi ya timu yao.

"Nataka kuwaambia neno moja, mafanikio mliyopata ni furaha kwa wote kwa maana sisi sote ni ndugu. Yanga ni klabu ya Tanzania na Afrika Mashariki, sisi sote ni wamoja.

"Nawaambieni, leo tunaweza kujiona sisi ni tofauti kwa sababu ya utaifa wetu, lakini akifuatilia chimbuko la wazee wetu wa zamani, utagundua sisi ni wamoja kutokana na mchanganyiko wetu," alifafanua.

"Kuna Watanzania wengi hapa Rwanda, lakini pia kuna Wanyarwanda wengi Tanzania. Hii inaonyesha ni jinsi gani tulivyo wamoja."

Wakati huohuo, Kocha wa Yanga, Thomas Saintfiet ameahidi kukirudisha kikosi chake mjini Kigali kupiga kambi baada ya kufurahishwa na mazingira ya mji huo.

Yanga imeweka kambi katika Hoteli ya La Pallise iliyopo eneo la Remera kujiandaa na michuano ya Ligi Kuu Bara inayotarajiwa kuanza baadaye mwezi ujao.

"Hii ni mara yangu ya kwanza kufika Rwanda, lakini hakika nimefurahishwa na mazingira ya hapa, naahidi nitarudi tena kuweka kambi na timu yangu," alisema Saintfiet mbele ya Rais Kagame.

"Nitafanya hivyo lakini pia huenda nikaleta tena kombe hili kwa mara nyingine kwa maana mazingira ni tulivu na mazuri, kila kitu kinaenda sawa,"alisema Saintifiet.

Kizito will boost the league

In the past, Ugandan league football was regarded as the best in East Africa considering the quality of games and star players paraded in the league at the time.

In the 80s and 90s, the league was the toughest and most attractive to players before losing star power and attractions.

Since then, questions have been asked of the reasons for the decline despite the considerable efforts in trying to revive it over the last couple of seasons.

One of the reasons for the decline is that clubs are not making money as stadiums are most times empty.

As a result, clubs have not been in position to buy or attract star players, who would in turn lure fans back to the stadium.

It’s why the return of star players like Nestroy Kizito will assist improve the fading status of the league.

Of course there will be arguments that Kizito is past his best and should be looking towards retirement.

But the league has not produced a single quality player in the last five years or so and if anything, the current crop can only learn a lot from playing alongside a player that performed at the highest possible level in Europe.

Kizito had the choice of moving to Qatar or Saudi Arabia. He also had the option of considering deals in South Africa or Vietnam but didn’t.

So we should be fortunate he decided to return home and add quality to a league that will only get better in the forthcoming season.

Imagine the numbers and interests that would develop in local football if former Cranes star David Obua took a similar approach and signed for any of the other top sides.

Just like David, Kizito certainly has the pedigree. The two are brands that would market a league that is unfortunately still losing some of its finer players to the fringe leagues in neighbouring countries because of better wages.

Its players like these that contribute to the appeal of the league, an area where Ugandan league football has failed.

South Africa opted for the same route, luring former Bafana Bafana star players Bennie McCarthy (Orlando Pirates), Bernard Parker (Kaizer Chiefs), Aaron Mokoena (Bidvest Wits) and are reaping the fruits. Why can’t we?

Welcome home Nestroy.
