The collaboration brought indeed the best out in all artists, and resulted in a highly energetic concert with an enthusiastic public.
“Chap Chap Fuse Afrika was a typical Nafasi Art Space day, presenting a range of visual and performing arts. Nafasi gave room for developing artists to perform and show less commonly featured art forms, and for the audience to participate and experience the wealth of talent that is working on a daily basis at Nafasi Art Space.” Nafasi Art Space provides a stage for live performances from different styles – less of the popular Bongo flavour, and more of the offbeat material of spoken word, hip hop, soul, rock and more alternative music styles. Nafasi is open everyday, with several public events per month that you can follow on the website www. nafasiartspace.org or via www.facebook.com/nafasiartspace.

Bridging cultural tourism and microfinance Go on an “investour” and help tackle poverty By Nicole Lulham
D
ar es Salaam, located on the coast of Tanzania in East Africa, is a gem of culture and diversity for any traveler who is looking for a trek off the beaten path. One of Dar’s must-see cultural hubs is the Mwenge Woodcarver’s Market, the biggest outlet of Makonde carvings in Tanzania. Here traditional Makonde woodcarvers from throughout the region have migrated in search of a better life. Their carvings are a physical symbol of their rich cultural history, but limited resources force many of
them into poverty. An innovative approach to international development has recently sprouted roots in Dar, combining cultural tourism with microfinance opportunities for local entrepreneurs working in the Mwenge Woodcarver’s Market. Investours, a non-profit organization founded by a group of Harvard students in 2008, offers visitors to Dar a unique cultural experience – one which serves to make a difference in the lives of the local people. The business model is simple and effective. One

hundred per cent of the tour fees paid by visitors are pooled and then given to a local entrepreneur of their choice as a zero-interest microloan, with a typical repayment period of three months. Investours got its feet off the ground with the help of pilot funding from the Sustainable Cities International Network Africa Program (SCINAP) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). They have since partnered with a local organization called Maisha Finance, who assists with identifying suitable loan
candidates and processing loan repayments. Maisha Finance also provides some training in accounting to the selected entrepreneurs and gets them set up with a savings program. The rewards from this initiative are fruitful and have the potential to be lifechanging. Loan recipients are provided with the business skills and fiscal means to build and expand their business, as well as increase their revenue. Visitors are given a taste of the local culture and leave with a better understanding of the hardships that many people in Dar face from day to day. I decided to go on a tour to see for myself how this model works. A typical tour starts with a short ride in a bajaj or tuktuk (a threewheeled auto rickshaw) from your hotel to the Investours office in Mwenge, where the friendly staff give you an overview of how their organization works and how microfinance is being used as a tool to help improve the quality of life for local people. We were introduced to our translator for the day, Kevin, who is a truly remarkable young man. Kevin is a high school student with an ambition to work in the local tourism industry. In addition to his full-time studies and his part-time work with Investours, Kevin also teaches fives nights per week at an English class that is offered to the woodcarvers of Mwenge to help them better interact with tourists. Our first stop was a visit to Tony’s shop, a father of three and a very skilled woodcarver who learned his trade from his grandfather many years ago. Tony creates beautifully intricate tables and maasai statues using black ebony wood. He was Investours’ first loan recipient

and has long since repaid what he has borrowed. The loan money was used to purchase a bulk amount of the expensive wood that he uses for his carvings, which he buys from a village about five hours away. Tony proudly showed us the fruit of his labours (each table takes about 20 days to produce) and was happy to answer our questions about his trade and his family. We then went to have lunch at Judy’s place, where we were greeted with a warm smile and were each served a healthy and delicious portion of ndizi pilau, a local dish made with rice, beef, and stewed bananas. Judy works with her sister and her niece to prepare food for about 70 of the local woodcarvers each day. They look forward to the Investours visits and enjoy talking with the tourists who come to eat at their table. With full bellies, we made our way over to meet with Lucy and her daughter. Lucy is a very entrepreneurial woman, operating a small shop on the outskirts of the Mwenge Woodcarver’s Market where she sells goods such as juices, breads, and small household items. She also sells peanuts in small packets at night, accompanied by her young daughter, along the side of the major road near her shop. Lucy plans to use her loan to purchase a license which will allow her to sell goods that bring in more revenue, such as sugar and flour. Our last visit of the day was with Ruth and Anna, two women who sell charcoal to people in the community. Ruth is a mother of three and has also already benefitted from Investours, where she used her loan to purchase coal in bulk just prior 30 I Dar Life I September 2015

to the start of the rainy season when the prices are lower. As a result, she was able to double her revenue from each of bag of coal that she sold. Ruth had no problems repaying her first loan and is hoping to secure a second one in the near future. Every person who participated in the tour left with a smile on their face and a better appreciation for the conditions under which the people of the Mwenge Woodcarver’s Market live. Overall, this was a very humbling and eye-opening experience, but the kind that leaves you with a warm feeling
inside. The next time you find yourself in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, do consider going on an Investour. You are guaranteed to meet some truly wonderful people who are working hard to make a living and best of all, you will have an opportunity to make a small difference in their lives too. Please visit www.investours.org for more information about Investours or to book a tour on your next visit to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania or Oaxaca, Mexico.

The Most Muscular M By Amby Lusekelo
D
ar es Salaam was set ablaze on Saturday night August 29, 2015 when the annual Most Muscular Man competition was held for the second time at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Center.
Hosted by comedian Evans Bukuku, the night brought together a unique mix of everyone who has an interest in any form of bodybuilding. Gym rats were in attendance in large numbers.
“Opening up the ceremony, the Managing Director of Tanzaned, Mr. Mohammed Ali, said that the main aim of this competition is to give bodybuilders a platform to show their work. The event also aims to encourage appreciation of the art of bodybuilding. Based on the reaction received so far, it is going very well.” Tanzaned, which organized this event, also organized the first one last year and is proud to support the sport in the country. Torque Tyres assisted in organizing the 36 I Dar Life I September 2015

show this year. Torque Tyres was only too happy to work with this project which, according to them, reflects their brand perfectly: “Strong People, Strong Tyres,” said Mr. Saad Jamal, a company representative.
Mr. Akash Karia, another spokesperson for Torque Tyres, added that, “The word “torque” means a “powerful force that causes a rotation or a revolution”, and we believe that the bodybuilding contest represents a revolution in the Tanzanian fitness industry, which is why we were thrilled to be the main sponsor for the contest. At Torque, our tyres represent power, precision and performance, and bodybuilding does the same for the human body what Torque tyres does for vehicles. We would love to see more Tanzanians develop their own “torque” and power by taking up the sport of bodybuilding and working to strengthen their fitness and their bodies.” The competition started with all 35 participants on the stage showing the best of what they got, but only 12 were allowed to proceed to the next level. The 12 remaining participants were September 2015 I Dar Life I 37

Sharing about his own health and bodybuilding journey, Mr. Jamal explained how losing 25 kilograms changed his life and increased his passion for weight training. It is this experience that led him to support this competition.
split into three groups and asked to do different poses showing specific muscle groups such as back double biceps, side triceps, as well as abdominal and thighs. It was clear that the judges had their work cut out for them. With prolonged entertainment breaks featuring Mr. India 2008, 2009, 2011, Sumeet Thapa, and the acrobatics group, Wanne Star, the audience waited in anticipation to find out who made it to the semi-finals. When the names were finally announced, it was no surprise that the top three were the crowd favorites and that snatching that first place wasn’t going to be easy. The six semi-finalists were each given two minutes to do freestyle poses, which would act as their final chance to please the judges and snatch that top spot. However, at the end it was crowd favorite contestant number 20, Omary Abdalah Lyombe, who won the top scores showing the most muscles with his incredible flexing talent. Second place went to the playful Muhammad Nouman Khalil, who seemed to be enjoying himself from the minute he got on stage, and third place went to the confident Obadia Andabwile. In addition to being awarded the title of Tanzania’s Most Muscular Man 2015, Mr. Lyombe was also awarded 1.5 million Tanzanian shillings. “The government should place the same type of support they place in other sports in bodybuilding as well. It is evident that it is a good source of employment for the youth and I will personally support this sport from now on,” said the guest of honor, Mr. Paul Makonda, Kinondoni District Commissioner. Other sponsors of the show were Clouds Media, Continental Outdoor Media, Afya Water and Double Tree by Hilton.

CULTURAL TOURISM
Cultural tourism programmes are beneficial to everyone – the tourists get a unique, unforgettable experience, the local people generate income and improve their standard of living…”
n Tanzania, a land of superb landscapes and spectacular wildlife, another attraction stands equally tall- the people. Tanzania’s people are among the most welcoming and approachable on earth, with a range of fascinating cultures ready to be shared with visitors. From the wachagga of the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the now world-famous Maasai, a cultural excursion or a longer stay among local people is likely to become one of the most rewarding experiences of any holiday I Tanzania. In addition, many local areas run their own cultural programmes for visitors, bringing income directly to the community and giving the people the chance to show their lifestyle to the outside world on their own terms. Primary schools can be developed through a tour of the fascinating slopes of Mt Meru; a health clinic is improved through a guided tour of the luscious green Usambara Mountains, or a kindergarten funded by a stroll through the tropical vegetation of the Rift Valley.
44 I Dar Life I September 2015
Cultural tourism programmes are beneficial to everyone – the tourists get a unique, unforgettable experience, the local people generate income and improve their standard of living, and both parties gain valuable understanding of another culture which will last long after the visitors have returned home. Most cultural tourism programmes are located near the main through fares of the principal tourist destinations, making a cultural addition to a safari easy to arrange. Guides are local people born and raised in the area, well trained in their jobs and proficient in English. Cultural tours can be half-day events or incorporated into a longer safari. Whether you spend the morning in a Maasai boma or trek by camel up a local summit, stopping to learn about traditional plants and tribal stories, a cultural tour is must-do for anyone wanting to see the rich life of the Tanzania people. Some of Tanzania’s best-known cultural tourism destinations include:
Eyasi
Home to some of the last hunter-gatherers in Africa, the Hadzabe bushmen have made the area around Lake Eyasi their long-time hunting grounds. Day-trips or longer safaris with the hadzabe bushmen give visitors a chance to experience a way of life that has long since vanished elsewhere on the planet. Morning hunts with the Hadzabe warriors, armed with bows and arrows, offer a fascinating glimpse into an ancient way of life. Honey-gathering, walks to find traditional healing plants and food, and traditional dances are all part of the Hadzabe cultural tourism experience.
Kilimanjaro
Why not combine a hike up the world’s most impressive mountain with a visit to its people, the historically progressive WaChagga? See traditional and modern Chagga art, culture and homes.
Maasailand
See how the Maasai, among the last of the world’s pastoral peoples, are adapting to the 21st century in their own way and in their won time. Visit Engaruka, the lost city in the shadow of the Great Rift Wall, where Maasai mix irrigation, farming and traditional herding. In Mkuru, near Arusha National Park, short camel treks with local Maasai give visitors a glimpse into nomadic culture, as they climb nearby Ol Donyo Landaree.
Meru
Only minutes from bustling Arusha are spots that look and feel as they did decades ago. But everywhere, too, is transition as the WaArusha and WaMeru peoples adapt tradition to progress and science. Visitors can meet a traditional healer, learn about animal husbandry and agri-culture, and buy carvings and foodstuffs from local handicraft co-operatives or women’s business.
Southern Pare Mountains
Walk the most remote mountains of northern Tanzania with local farmers, through traditional Pare villages and dense tropical forests. From half day to three day guided hikes, this is an opportunity to step into the culture of the Pare people. Visit the Mghimbi Caves, secret hiding place during the slave raids, the proceed to Malameni Rock, the scene of human sacrifices to appease evil spirits up until the 1930s. Walk through the Ikongwe Village, believe by locals to be a gift from heaven, surrounded by mountain terraces and small waterfalls. Profits from these tours are used to subsidise much needed energy saving stoves and educational scholarship.
UsambaraAfrica’s Switzerland, a hiker’s paradise, with dozens of varied treks from half a day to a week. The stunning mountainous district of Lushoto was home to one of Tanzania’s great historical kingdoms.

5 career Tips for women To stay ahead In Today’s Marketplace By Kath Roberts
1. Know yourself - Before we can really begin to progress and be successful we must get to know and understand who we really are , as opposed to who we’ve become, and then learn how to market and promote all of our many capabilities and talents. This exercise should be revisited at critical stages in our life because as we grow and evolve our needs and desires change. Empowered women understand that a balanced perspective is an inside out process. 2. Get Totally Clear On What You Want - A tricky area to navigate and I’d say the number one reason why most women remain stuck in roles and careers that keep them unfulfilled because we never give enough time or consideration to what we really want to do with our lives. We delay and put off stuff through fear, lack of know how, poor goal setting or generally because we put our needs last and the family needs first. You’ve got to confront those deeper questions like what makes you happy and what is going to fit in with your broader life goals like raising a family or working less so you can travel more.
50 I Dar Life I September 2015
3. Find the Right Environment -. Cultures should be carefully examined and tested because many are a world apart from the sexy brand images and persuasive advertising of those manufactured lists like the top 100 best companies to work for. That starts with understanding what you are known for within your business then growing, learning and building upon this by contributing to projects and developing great contacts. It’s about keeping your online data up to date whilst highlighting your best work. 4. Forget the Job Title.- You’re title does not define you nor cushion you from redundancy or change. It’s a very outdated concept based on a society that values educational achievement above all else but one that only teaches kids to pass exams. Job titles don’t carry the financial assurances they once did. Organizations are invariably flatter and many career development paths are increasingly lateral rather than upward. Upwards is not always best, often leading to increasing bureaurocracy and distance from the very aspects of the role you found appealing in the first place and thats before you have to tackle the male dominated boardrooms. 5. It’s Not All About The Money- Money makes the world go round of course but many women , whilst I think we fare better than men on this subject, have fallen into the trap of seeing work as a functional necessity
rather than a pleasurable, fulfilling and meaningful pursuit. Purposeful work doesn’t have to be reserved for a tiny elite bunch of individuals like artists and creative types. In this brave new world we’ve all got to learn how to be artists whether that’s working for yourself, freelancing or as a corporate executive in big business. Our careers can give us the opportunities to do work we love as well as the ability to continuously learn and create as well as making a worthy contribution . So if you’re fed up with the career you’ve chosen my best career tip is this, focus on reinventing yourself because its never too late to transition to something altogether more rewarding.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH:
SaďŹ na Said Kimbokota
54 I Dar Life I September 2015
Focus on: Visual Arts ( Painting and Metal Sculpture )
“Beauty from the Coast” By Ms Shama Jaffer Tanzania is rich with artists of all caliber ranging from those tingatinga artists we’re all come acquainted to, to those more mainstream. They all represent a Tanzania from their individual views, backgrounds and beliefs. Dar Life caught up with the newly emerging artist Safina Said Kimbokota who is taking a more active and vocal approach to showing her work.
DL - What inspired you to start painting? Safina: I don’t really know. But, since, I was at a tender age; I have always found myself in it. Maybe, it is inborn. Almost every artist in the world, regardless of the tribe, culture, country, tradition and others we are inspiring one and others, but some really touched me in so many ways is my Professor Elias Jengo.
Name: Safina Kimbokota Profession: Visual Artist Born: 1982
DL - How long have you been an artist? Safina: Almost five years, but I am just counting this as my first year, because I have been to college and University. I have just finished my BA in FPA last year. Then, I thought maybe, this would be the perfect time for me to get involved.
I am a girl from the coast and the only thing that inspires me is the way the woman from the coast dresses. Since completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Dar-essalaam, I have been concentrating on developing a career as both a painter and a Metal Sculptor. My paintings focus on the woman from the Coast, Collage portraying Africa Cultures while my welded steel sculptures focus on delicate organic forms and the intricacy of natural life.
DL - When did you start? Safina : Painting in 2008 and Metal Sculpture in 2010. DL - Wow, seems your work has been extensive. Have you done anything that sticks out? September 2015 I Dar Life I 55
individuals in a very deep and personal way. Artist is able to reflect the historical moment and project into the community an awareness of the moment, and awareness that the inhumane conditions need to be changed for the better. DL - What is the place of your work in society? Safina: My work is about self-expression because I feel strongly enough about what I am doing and this can help others because there will always be people who feel the same way but they cannot express it themselves.
DL - What is your genre of painting and what mediums do you like to use? Safina: My paintings are an output of my interest in the beauty of Woman forms the Coast figures and an insight into my feelings towards physical and emotional relationships. Also I do Collage portraying African Cultures while my welded steel sculptures focus on delicate organic forms and the intricacy of natural life. I use a range of Mediums but normally use mixed media. DL - Tell us about your first exhibition? When was it? Safina: As I first said I’m counting this year as my first year, I held my firts exhibition at Masai Cafe in Arusha on May 2012 DL - Do you work from life, or from photographs or from imagination? Safina: I work from life, photographs and Imagination. Life for figure potraying women from the Coast. Photographs I use in Collage and Abstract pictures and Metal Sculpture from imagination. DL - What moves you most in life, either to inspire or upset you? Safina: My paintings are an output of my interest in the beauty of female forms from the Coast and an insight into my feelings towards physical and emotional relationships. DL - What is the role of the artist in society? Safina: Artists have that unique ability to engage 56 I Dar Life I September 2015
DL - What technique do you use? Which is more important to you, the subject of your painting, or the way it is executed? Safina: I first sketch an outline of the subject and then apply pigment onto the surface by using brush with bolder strokes. The subject matter is more important to me because is the foreground and usually has the most details which will allow my audience to focus on. DL - Do you prefer a perfect smooth technique or a more energetic expressive technique and why? Safina: I prefer a more energetic expressive technique because I’m a person who is concern with texture. I feel alive when a touch something and feel it. To purchase any of my paintings and other exhibition queries please Email on skimbokota@ gmail.com

BUSINESS COMPASS
The Several profession Syndrome Effects of two or more jobs “Harmful risks to health”
I
recently ambushed a mate of mine and took her for a drink to catch up and do what friends do. It has been especially hard to meet with her since she got a 3rd job. Knowing her economic situation and her dire need to stay afloat, I had given her some time and space to coordinate her jobs and have time to get some rest. But on seeing her, I realised that she needed more time to rest and that burnout is imminent. She had lost a lot of her natural glow and was having a hard time keeping up with our conversation. The art of having (and keeping) more than one job is truly just that, an art. There are a variety of reasons for people to take on multiple jobs. They might need to make more money. Perhaps they want more fulfillment in their lives. Maybe they want to start a new business, or go back to school. They also might find themselves pushed into this lifestyle as companies strive for a more flexible workforce, or downsize to cut costs. There’s little doubt that doing multiple jobs, or being in multiple roles, can be challenging and have adverse effects on the body. One job alone can produce immense stress levels, especially if it involves a lot of responsibilities but little decision-making power or right to use our own judgment in solving problems. Having 2 or more jobs means that this stress is added and chances of overall burn out are dangerously high. According to a report by Michelle A. Albert, of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, “Your job can positively and negatively affect health, making it important to pay attention to the stresses of your job as part of your 58 I Dar Life I September 2015
total health package” And despite the current economic climate, having a stressful job is more damaging to a woman’s health than the stress caused by worrying about losing it. Previous research had found that men in similar circumstances are at higher risk of heart disease. The latest findings suggest the same effect applies to women. High-stress jobs make young workers twice as likely to suffer from major depression and anxiety disorders, according to a British study of mental health in the workplace. Psychiatric assessments of nearly 1,000 people in the early stages of their careers revealed that one in 20 can expect to experience serious depression or anxiety every year as a direct result of work. The study is the first of its kind to establish a firm link between stressful working conditions and poor mental health among people who had no previous history of the disorders before their career began. So before you take on another job with the excitement of adding onto your income, think of the added stress levels and if, at all, you will enjoy it.

BEAUTY TIPS
Hot Season Beauty Updates Maintaining your cool
By Amby Lusekelo

Paa april 2012 final.indd 68
carry these bags with everything from shorts and a tee to your favorite dress. One area that requires approach with caution is make up. Summer heat and dust may leave you looking like a fright! Use moisturizer sparingly under your makeup and avoid applying it altogether to your nose and forehead if you have an oily or combination skin. It’s a myth that heavy powdering absorbs sweaty makeup. The initial benefit of powdering disappears very quickly in hot weather. Stick to a light dusting over the central panel of your face. This will absorb shine but leave you with a natural, fresh look. Avoid heavy makeup, particularly matte foundation, as it will run and leave you with a smudged look.Another summer challenge is maintaining your hair. During the summer, get trims every four weeks to prevent split ends. In addition to this, ensure you treat your hair at least once a week to ensure it is protected from the rising temperatures as well as the dust. Remember wet hair is more prone to breakage so use pins to help create
undoes. Dampen hair with water before swimming and comb in a conditioner after swimming. Whichever way you chose to keep yourself looking fashionable and cheek during this hot season, remember to keep yourself protected. Direct UV light has harmful effects such as skin cancer so be safe by opting to stand under a shade instead of directly under the sun. The better you protect yourself, the healthier and better looking you will be.

taying cool and gorgeous in the summer can be tricky especially with the added variable of the dust that has also taken over Dar es Salaam. Ladies and gentlemen, the tropical summer with the combination of ever rising temperatures, high levels of humidity and sporadic rains, has arrived in all its glory. This may seem completely depressing but not to worry, we got some great tips to help you keep your cool. Summer fashion inevitably means showing more skin with shorter hemlines and little to no sleeves. This prospect of showing more skin is usually scary for many however, as we always emphasis, wear what is comfortable to you. However, you must let your skin breathe. Choose underwear in natural fabrics, preferably cotton or silk. Keep your clothes simple and avoid anything that is too tight. Opt for drawstring pants or skirts, loose tunics and comfortable, elasticated waistbands. Choose cotton, linen or silk for comfort and avoid manmade fibers. Teaming up your outfit with the right amount of accessories also goes a long way in ensuring you are ready for the heat. Oversized sunglasses, big hair bands, bangle bracelets, print Hobos and even scarves are big this season. Grab a slouchy hobo handbag in a cute, colorful print.

Time for Tea What black tea can do for your skin? By Anzelle Johnson
T
he history of tea goes back to the year 2737-BC when it was discovered by the Chinese. Surprisingly, tea was only introduced to the West around 400 years ago. Next to water, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world! The Chinese started by calling tea “Kai” and that name it carried into the 6th century AD when the name evolved into “Cha”. Once it reached the 62 I Dar Life I September 2015
West it became known as “Te” which is still the name for tea in many countries across the world. In Chinese culture tea was believed to be one of the seven daily necessities and the tea ritual had various meanings to the Chinese including showing respect to elders, as a form of apology and to express thanks. Folding the tea napkin was a traditional action which was a symbol to ward off negative Qi
energy. More than 4,700 years later, tea still plays an important part in different cultures and traditions. The medicinal properties of tea were recognized since the very first brew when it was discovered that tea was useful in the treatment of conditions like tumours, abscesses, bladder ailments and lethargy. Recent studies have shown that taking black tea orally can reduce

your chances of suffering from strokes and lower your risk of cancer and heart disease. What is black tea? Black tea is one of four varieties of tea, the others being green, oolong and white tea. Of all of the different kinds, black tea is most highly oxidised and has a stronger flavour than the other varieties. For the past decade applying black tea products to the skin has become increasingly popular and you will find various beauty products on the shelves of large cosmetic houses. The reason for this is because black tea contains high levels of antioxidants which slows down the ageing process. It is proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to firm and tone the skin. Another reason is that people tend to look for more natural ways to address skin concerns. Using black tea in the treatment of acne has been considered one of the most effective and easy ways to treat this common skin ailment. Black tea also helps to reduce the risk of skin inflammation. Black tea’s astringency and flavonoids help fight microorganisms that cause acne and other skin infections. For the same reason, tea can be effective in treating sunburn and other skin conditions like itchy skin, eczema and skin infections. Studies have shown that black tea is also effective against cancer, as it slows down the growth of cancerous cells in the body. Black tea

BOOK REVIEWS
Coffee break Join Dar Life reviews editor for the pick of the books with an East African flavour By A Novel Idea
Seven Wonders – The World Heritage Sites of Tanzania by Louise Hoole Tanzania has seven World Heritage Sites, more than any other country bordering it, and more than most on the continent. Four of its sites are so famous that they have entered the global imagination, and stand as a sort of shorthand for all that is miraculous on our planet: Mount Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar’s Stone Town. The remaining three sites are, on the other hand, little known outside the country and rarely visited by those within it. Mention that you are going to the Selous Game Reserve, or the rock art sites of Kondoa, or the ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and you’re likely to receive little more than a quizzical look. Yet the fact that these places are so little known is bizarre when one considers that they are - in order - the earth’s largest game reserve, a unique prehistoric rock art collection, and East Africa’s most important medieval city... not just part of Tanzania’s or Africa’s heritage, therefore, but truly part of a global heritage. This gorgeously photographed coffee table book celebrates Tanzania’s stunning world heritage sites, examining both their fragile present and precarious future.

Dark Star Safari – Overland from Cairo to Cape Town by Paul Theroux In Dark Star Safari, the wittily observant and endearingly irascible Paul Theroux takes readers the length of Africa by rattletrap bus, dugout canoe, cattle truck, armed convoy, ferry, and train. In the course of his epic and enlightening journey, he endures danger, delay, and dismaying circumstances. Gauging the state of affairs, he talks to Africans, aid workers, missionaries, and tourists. What results is an insightful mediation on the history, politics, and beauty of Africa and its people.
Time is Cows – Timeless Maasai Wisdom - by Tanya Pergola
When American sociologist and wellness expert Tanya Pergola first visited Tanzania and Maasailand, she became startlingly aware that she was in a place and with people who could teach her something profound. She sensed that lodged within the colorful and beautiful rituals and ceremonies of the indigenous Maasai people were gems of wisdom that could be harvested and shared as antidotes for our increasingly complex, stressful, and often enigmatic modern lives. Enriched with photographs, stories and “suggested practice” tips, Time is Cows is a handbook to help you simplify your life as you uncover its profound meaning.

A Man on Crutches Conquers Kilimanjaro For decades now the attempt to climb Kilimanjaro has been the greatest challenge for adventurers wishing to reach the highest point on the African continent. However, for most of that time, climbing expeditions was mainly for people who had the means to organise the climb and the wish for personal adventure. Now, this notion is changing, as there is a new spirit amongst modern adventurers to make the world a better place for everyone, and Kilimanjaro has become a sign of hope as more people climb for charity reasons. And the mountain has also become a sign of hope for disabled persons who climb it to show that being handicapped does not mean living a disabled life. In this issue, we are recording an extraordinary climb of a young disabled man from Slovenia who reached the 5,895m high peak of Kilimanjaro just with the support of crutches – Editor 74

H
uman spirit propelled Jan Simon, a 30year-old handicapped man from Slovenia, to the summit of Kilimanjaro this year. Walking with the support of crutches, Simon reached Uhuru Peak at a height of 5,895m above sea level. He spent six days on the Machame Route, and despite his physical disability, he was the third to reach the so-called Roof of Africa in a group of 100 trekkers who made the final climb on the same day. Simon studied computer science at Slovenia University. He is a remarkable sportsman, participating in scuba-diving, snorkelling, swimming, skiing, bicycling, and table-tennis. He’s also a musician and plays guitar for a local band back at home. Simon was born with the deformity artorogriposis multipla congenita, a term describing multiple-joint contractures at birth, he cannot stand up without the support of crutches. Yet he has punctured the conventional wisdom about what a disabled person can and cannot do. The following is an interview the Tantravel team had with him after his triumphant climb. Q: How did you manage to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro? I just kept on going. The last hour of walking was very hard and the top seemed so far away. The gravel and tiredness in combination with no sleep
that night, because we started at midnight, made it very hard, but it never crossed my mind to quit, even if I was walking very slowly for that last hour and stopping every 10 steps. And then all of a sudden we were at Stella Point. We took just a few minutes of rest and kept on walking to reach the highest point on Kilimanjaro, 50 minutes later. Q: Why did you opt for the Machame Route instead of the easier Marangu Route? I found it more interesting, though the Barancco section of the route is narrow and steep. I felt it would not be difficult for me. Of course, people thought Machame would be hard for me, but I had the determination and confidence to reach the peak. Q. What physical assistance did you need when climbing? I never needed assistance. I was leading the way up at my pace, and the guide was following me. Even on the Baranco Wall [a formation of steep rocks] I did it all by myself, but if I had needed assistance, I knew Jeremy (the guide) was there. Q. How did you prepare for this climb? I fully prepared myself for the climb. I had been using stairs instead of elevators, performing physical exercise and gymnastics. I climbed September 2015 I Dar Life I 71

mountains in Slovenia, Switzerland, Italy, Peru, and Bolivia. In Bolivia he climbed as high as 5,100 metres. Q: Did this help? I used the experience and skills I gained from every hike in my life, but Kilimanjaro is unique. I had never walked for six days in a row, so this was a new experience for me. I am happy about how I distributed my energies through each day, the way I did not have any problems recuperating when the next day came. I felt fine, never had any headaches or problems of breathing, even on the summit. I slept very well every day and did not get any blisters. Q: A successful climb also depends on the service crew you take. How were your porters? Everything was possible because of the guide, porters, and cook. All I had to do on this trek was to walk and to chew food. They put up the tent, cooked, washed the dishes, boiled the water, and packed and took everything to the next campsite. Q: What advice do you offer? My serious advice to fellow disabled people is never to stop following our dreams and not let others tell us what we can do and what we cannot do. If you want to do something, go for it and try to do it and do not use your disability as an excuse for not trying. -----------------------------------------------Mr. Jan Simon’s climb was organized by the Arusha-based Pure Afro Travels. Before the climb, Simon visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Eyasi. After the climb, he travelled to Zanzibar to take a rest. Simon financed the safari and the climb by himself. The interview was prepared by our contributors Thomas Ratsim and Navaya ole Ndaskoi. All photographs Courtesy of Jan Simon and Pure Afro Travel

The Iraqw, Afro-Asiatic Descendents in Tanzania
T
The traditional dress of the Iraqw is the mgorori. This is a piece of cloth, normally three metres long, that is worn over the usual clothing, more or less like a cloak. There are several ways that they wrap themselves with this piece of cloth, but when they are at work, or when walking fast, they just hang it round their necks. From boyhood an Iraqw man will carry a stick. This tribal stick (hharrah, pl. hhado) is distinct from the herding stick and can also be used expertly as a combat weapon.

he Iraqw is the largest tribe south of the equator which bears traces of Afro-Asiatic descent. The people of this tribe belong to the Cushitic group of African people, so their descent is traced to the northern parts of Africa. Some historians, such as those who attempted to classify African peoples in the first half of the 20th Century, referred to them as Hamites, claiming that their appearance seemed to match that of early Egyptians or present-day Ethiopians. Modern historians group the Iraqw as Southern Cushites and think their earliest area of dispersal was the Ethiopian Highlands. The Cushitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motive in moving south is characterized by historians as a search for new fields for their crops, and new pastures for their livestock. Research shows that the Cushites

The Iraqw people own individual family homesteads as opposed to communal villages. However, close relatives and, especially, people of the same clan tend to stay in one location in the form of hamlets of related families. The father is the head of the homestead and mostly concerned with livestock and the expansion of the farms. When his sons are grown up, he gives them portions of land, normally some distance away, where they can set up their own homesteads. However, the youngest son inherits the existing home and takes care of the parents in their old age.
The Surroundings of Mbulu Highlands.
began spreading from the Ethiopian Highlands about 1000 B.C. and became the early food producers of East Africa, creating irrigation schemes for their animals and farms. Nevertheless, the majority of the Cushites disappeared in a process of ethnic assimilation during the expansion of Nilotic and Bantu groups, leaving only a few pockets of Cushitic languages, of which the biggest tribe is the Iraqw. The physical appearance of the Iraqw resembles more the people of the Horn of Africa than the neighbouring Bantu and Nilotes. They are tall, fine-featured, and mostly light-skinned people. However, frequent intermarriage with these neighbours, means there is considerable fluidity in their identity today. Nevertheless, their language still contains Semitic and northern Cushitic traces, and so it is completely different from that of their September 2015 I Dar Life I 81

neighbours. The Iraqw mainly live in the highland districts of Mbulu and Karatu, their tribal home area, but have spilled into the adjacent districts at lower altitudes of Arusha and Manyara Regions. They are related to the smaller allied tribes of Gorowa, Burungi, and Alawa, from Babati and Kondoa Districts, with whom they claim to have a common origin. The Iraqw are both cultivators and herdsmen. Some families own big herds, like the Nilotic pastoral tribes, whereas other families depend more on cultivation. Successful farmers, mostly on the lower flat lands, use tractors and draught-animals to plough larger tracts of land where they grow maize, beans, sunflower and wheat seasonally. In the highlands, the plots of land are smaller, but the climate enables the tribesmen to increase their range of crops to include potatoes, sugar cane and vegetables, and to raise pigs and chickens successfully. Apart from the physical appearance of the Iraqw, it is also possible to identify these people by their traditional cloak, or mgorori, which is worn over other clothes. Their tribal facial marks and the tone of their glottal language also give away their identity. - Source: The Ways of the Tribe: A Cultural Journey Across North-Eastern Tanzania, by Gervase Tatah Mlola, published by E&D Vision Publishing, October 2010

The Origin Of the Iraqw Language By Thomas Qwaray Ratsim
T
he Iraqw speak a Cushitic language belonging to the group of Afro-Asiatic languages. Afro-Asiatic languages, also called Afrasian languages or Erythraean languages, (formerly Hamito-Semitic), are languages of common origin found in the northern part of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the adjacent areas in Western Asia. The original parent language is thought to have been used about 8 000 years ago. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, about 250 AfroAsiatic languages are spoken today by a total of approximately 250 million people. Linguists generally recognize six divisions within the Afro-Asiatic group of languages: the Berber (or Amazigh), Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Omotic, and Semitic. The Iraqw language is further described by linguists as Southern Cushitic. Some Iraqw vocabulary can be traced to Ethiopian and Arabic languages as in the table below:
The Iraqw language is spoken by over 500,000 Iraqw tribesmen of northern Tanzania. The language is not difficult to speak though in most cases it has guttural sounds and glottal stops that seem challenging to the neighbouring Bantu tribes. -Thomas Qwaray Ratsim is an Iraqw from Karatu and is currently involved in the establishment of a visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; information centre for Burunge Wildlife Mangament Area in Babati District. He can be reached by phone, +255 754 297 504, or by email: tratsim@ hotmail.com
