THE LIST OF BEST UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN TANZANIA 2015
UGANDA WAPIGA HATUA NYINGE ZAIDI...
Basi linalotumia umeme wa nguvu za jua ambalo limedaiwa na watengezaji wake nchini Uganda kuwa la kwanza barani Afrika limeendeshwa hadharani.
Basi hilo la kielektroniki aina ya Kayoola linalomilikiwa na kampuni ya Kiira Motors lilionyeshwa katika uwanja wa Uganda mjini Kampala.
Mojawapo ya betri zake zinaweza kuwekwa chaji na vibamba vya umeme wa jua katika paa la nyumba ambavyo huongeza kasi ya gari hilo hadi kilomita 80 kwa saa.
Watengezaji wake sasa wanalenga kuwavutia wateja wataolitengeza basi hilo ili kuvutia soko kubwa la magari duniani.
Mkurugenzi mkuu wa Kiira Motors Paul Isaac Musasizi ameiambia BBC kwamba amefurahishwa na jaribio la gari hilo lilipoendeshwa.
Raia wamefurahishwa na wazo kwamba Uganda ina uwezo wa kutengeza mfano kama huu na bw. Musasizi anasema kwamba angependelea kulisaidia taifa hilo kushindana na kampuni nyengine za magari katika eneo hili.
Pia anatumai kwamba hatua hiyo itabuni ajira zifikiazo 7000 kufikia mwaka 2018.Hatahivyo mradi huo hauwezi kuanza bila ya usaidizi wa kampuni zinazotengeza vifaa vya magari.
Lengo ni kwamba kufikia 2039,kampuni hiyo itakuwa na uwezo wa kutengeza vifaa vya magari na kuviunganisha nchini Uganda bila kutegemea kampuni nyengine .
Basi hilo lenye viti 35 linalenga kufanya kazi katika miji midogo badala ya mji mkuu kutokana na masharti ya umbali linakoweza kusafiri.
Iwapo mabasi hayo yatazalishwa kwa wingi,kila basi litagharimu kiasi cha dola 58,000 ambacho bw,Musaizi anasema ni bei nzuri katika soko lenye ushindani mkubwa.
Kampuni ya Kiira Motors ilianzishwa kutokana na mradi uliofanyika katika chuo kikuu cha Makerere,ambacho ni mmoja wa mmiliki wa hisa katika kampuni hiyo na pia kimenufaika na ufadhili kutoka kwa hazina ya fedha ya serikali.

ELEPHANT POACHERS KILL BRITISH HELICOPTER PILOT IN TANZANIA
A British helicopter pilot has been shot dead by elephant poachers in Tanzania, the conservation charity for which he was working has said.
The Friedkin Conservation Fund said Roger Gower, from Birmingham, was tracking poachers on Friday in the Maswa Game Reserve.
One of his colleagues said he had been shot as he flew near the carcass of one of three elephants killed by poachers.
Charity founder Dan Friedkin said the organisation had lost "a dear friend".
The Foreign Office has confirmed the death of a UK national in Tanzania and said it was providing assistance to the family.
'Great pilot'
Pratik Patel, of the Friedkin Conservation Fund, said Mr Gower had been approaching the last of three elephants killed by poachers when he was shot.
He paid tribute to "a great guy, a great friend, a great pilot" who he said had loved working with Tanzania's wildlife.
Mr Patel said Mr Gower's main role had been flying people between the different camps on the reserve where he worked, but he had also flown daily patrols to support ground staff in their work against poachers.
Tanzanian MP Lazaro Nyalandu, a former minister for natural resources and tourism, said in a tweet that the incident had happened in the Maswa Game Reserve, which borders the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania.
He said Mr Gower had managed to land his helicopter, but died before he could be rescued.
Mr Nyalandu said: "RIP Capt Roger. You loved our country and I knew you on many flights we took together in defence of our wildlife heritage.
"Those poachers who killed Capt Roger are coward[s], evil, and sad people. A fine-hearted individual gone too soon, and our hearts are broken."
Mr Friedkin said his charity was "profoundly saddened" by the death of Mr Gower - reported to have been a former accountant who qualified as a pilot in 2004.
He said: "We are committed to honouring Roger and his work. We are also committed to ensuring that those responsible for this attack are found and brought to justice.
"We believe that Roger can best be honoured by redoubling our commitment to protect elephants and our priceless wildlife heritage.
"This tragic event again highlights the appalling risk and cost of protecting Tanzania's wildlife."
The Friedkin Fund says elephant poaching is "especially prevalent" in Maswa, with rangers encountering ivory poachers "on a fairly regular basis".
