INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Ezindabeni, i-Tourism Confederation of Tanzania, iqumrhu eliphambili layo yonke imibutho yezokhenketho, ikhuphe ingxelo malunga nezicwangciso zikarhulumente waseTanzania zokumisa umsebenzi wokulwa nokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni ngenxa yeenkxalabo zokuxhatshazwa kwamalungelo oluntu kunye nokujoliswa ngendlela engafanelekanga kwaye endaweni yoko. siqinise iphulo kwaye singaniki amaqela okuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni ikhefu elinokusetyenziselwa ukubulala iindlovu ezininzi.
- The demand by the country's tourism apex body is therefore not coming unexpected and it is anticipated that the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Ambassador Khamis Kagesheki, will take that message on board when deciding on the way forward.
- This has been reported here in length already and while a level of misdirection was evident, as admitted also by President Jakaya Kikwete in his address to parliament last week, concerns have been expressed that this could have been engineered by powerful interests involved in poaching to gain time and regroup and reorganized themselves.
