Destiny a' la #Bongo (it all depends on the turn of the day)

You may see a disorganised, crammed and corrupt city planning in a 3rd world country.

I see a beating pulse. A main artery leading to and from the heart of Bongo, keeping it alive.

It all depends, though, on perspective and the turn or the day.

On destiny a' la Bongo:

On what road you consider yours;

Who is waiting for you at the place you call home;

Where you lay down when night comes;

How much foleni you have to deal with;

If umeme is there for you;

If somebody in that city loves you sufficiently madly (for other than your money, your colour or your curves).

Today's Tanzanian Newspapers: Police Killings in Songea

Today's Tanzanian newspapers report of police brutality in Songea.

The Guardian says 3 killed, Daily News says 4. Reporting in general is confusing in regard of why and what and what next?

If anything good can be said here it may be that media is covering it, and that the confusion of numbers makes it seem not censored.

The Citizen seems to make most sense if you want to understand what's going on: Read full article here.

Personallly, I love the setting of the two sockets in the backdrop.

A perfect illustration of the positive vibes and flexibility of the festival.
