In Hong Kong there are currently about 200 inmates from Tanzania. About 130 convicted and about 70 on remand (...unofficial figures..). In May-June 2013, some 50 Tanzanians were arrested in Hong Kong and China
Those convicted serve a minimum time of about 9 years if they plead guilty. They serve 21 years if they don't plead guilty (but drugs are found in their possession)
The story of these Tanzanian mules entering Hong Kong is typical of what happens around the world. Hopefully this story will be seen by many people in Africa, especially in Tanzania, and will discourage others from becoming mules. If this article stops even one person from being a mule, it is worthwhile
Here is the story, written in Swahili by a Hong Kong Tanzanian inmate, translated into English by another inmate. The story names and shames some very important people in Tanzania:

ReplyDeleteYaani RICHARD MZIRAY unawaharibia Watu maisha
ReplyDeletehii inatia uchungu sana. sasa kama kweli wakina Kova wameahidi kuteketeza hii biashara hebu basi tuone action watakayo chukua kuwakamata hawa madrug barons au ndio itaishia tu kuwakamata wavuja jasho tu.
ReplyDeleteJamaa amesema kuwa hao watu wote polisi wanawajua tena mizigo yao inasindikizwa na jeshi ikiingia nchini na namuamini anachosema..Je inakuwaje awa polisi wanasema awawajui hawa watu..Ukweli ni kwamba hakuna atakaekamatwa kati ya hao waliotajwa wataonga polisi pesa za kutosha na itaishia juu juu sababu polisi na viongozi ndio waharibifu wa kila kitu ktk nchi hii kwa maslai yao binafsi
ReplyDeleteWadau selikali inawajua wote
ReplyDeleteVigogo wa serikali wanahusika na biashara hii, ndiyo maana haidhibitiwi waliotajwa ni thumni tu ya wahusika. Hata hivyo tutambue kuwa SHETANI ndiye mtawala wa DUNIA hii na hutumia MILIKI yake kuwavuta wasio mcha MUNGU kuendeleza vitu vyenye madhara ili ASIENDE pekee yake JEHANAMU kwani hata VIONGOZI wa DINI wanafanya biashara hii na watu wanafahamu, lakini NANI wa KUMFUNGA PAKA KENGELE?

ReplyDeleteEti kabuni...... upuuzi tutambue sote tunapaswa kupigana katika vita hivi....... we unayesema kabuni ni kwa vile haijakutokea wewe na hakuna ndugu yako aliyekamatwa nje ya nchi kwa suala hili.....taifa linateketea na huku wengine wanafurahia..... mimi na wewe tuamke na kupiga marufuku na kupaza sauti zetu juu ya hili jambo na kukataa madawa ya kulevya.......wengi sana hapa Tanzania wanatembelea magari ya kifahari na kufurahia kuteketeza taifa..... Heri mungu ashuke na kutoa hukumu zetu.... Taifa limeoza kila Nyanja kuanzia serikali mpaka vyombo vya siasa mpaka kwenye dini tunanuka kuanzia maofisini mpaka majumbani mwetu.

ReplyDeleteKama huna chakuchangia ungekaa kimya, mwenye mamlaka kasema nitawashika nikiwakuta on action, sasa uyo anavo jianzishia tu cjui nani nanani,matako yake,naongea kwa uchungu maana watu wengine aliowataja, sio wahusika kabisa, au walikuwemo zamani lkn walipopata mitaji,waka shit, sasa wewe ,mtaji huna ndomaana unalopoka lopoka tu kumamae, wataje hao wakina Riziwani kama utatoka uko jela mbwa wewe.
ReplyDeleteHuwezi kukamata mtu kwa Rumors,that will be ridiculous, usione mtu ana hela basi anauza unga,uyo jela uko kumemchanganya, sasa anataja tu hata kama mtu alimnyima kazi ofcn kwake.
ReplyDeleteHata kama kataja majina, hana evidence yoyote kumamae nyoko uyo, usianike majina ya watu wenye heshima zao, bwege we! unawadharirisha punda wewe.
Watu mnataka njia za mkato ndio faida yake , lakini kutaja pia ni haki yake, watu msimtukane kama ukweli upo utadhihirika tu.
ReplyDeleteTanzania fursa zipo nyingi hatutaki kuzitumia .
jamani hivi boko haramu hawana tawi tz nami nijiunge coz yote hayo ni ukosefu wa ajira,na ajira zenyewe wanapeana wachache kwa kujuana.hasa hawa ambao hawafaamiki.wafanye kazi gani,acha wasafirishe madawa wakikaatwa hiyo ajali kazini baba,
