ISiqithi sasikhe sasetyenziswa ngumrhwebi ongumArabhi ukuba aqulathe amakhoboka anengxaki awawathenga kwilizwe laseAfrika ukuthintela ukuqhwesha kwawo phambi kokuba awathumele kubathengi baseArabia okanye kwifandesi kwimarike yorhwebo lwamakhoboka eZanzibar.
“Namhlanje sityelele iMarike yamakhoboka kunye neDungeon eZanzibar. Apho banemifanekiso enqabileyo kakhulu yemifanekiso yabantu baseAfrika abangamakhoboka, abarhwebi bamakhoboka nakwiimarike. Baye bagcina ingxelo eyoyikekayo yobukhoboka eAfrika. Sasithandaza kwaye silila kwindawo apho ookhokho bethu babandezeleka kwaye sathembisa ukwenza okungakumbi ” utsho uDominique DiPrima.

I-e-Turbonews eTanzania kumantla safari Ikomkhulu Arusha.
UNksz Arnold uthi uhambo lwabo lokuqala lweentsuku ezisixhenxe ukusuka e-Arusha ukuya eZanzibar ayilohambo lokwenyani lokuzonwabisa; endaweni yoko yayikukuthethathethana noluntu apho babeza kufunda khona, babelane ngeedola kunye nolunye ubutyebi noluntu oluhlwempuzekileyo.
“Ngaphandle kosukelo lwethu oluphambili lokufumanisa iingcambu zezinyanya, size kuchitha imali ukuze sibe negalelo kwintlalontle yezalamane zethu,” utshilo uNkskz Arnold.
Eli qela lichithe phantse iiyure ezintathu, licula licula kunye nexhego elinesithembu, uole Mapi apho lingaphelanga nje ukonwabela ukunxibelelana naye nosapho lwakhe olukhulu kodwa linikezele ngezibane zelanga kunye nezixhobo zemfundo kubafundi abangama-244 kwisikolo sakhe samabanga aphantsi. .
