Baraza la Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania (TEC) limetoa utaratibu wa misa zake ikiwemo kusitisha kupeana amani kwa mikono ili kujikinga na maambukizi ya virusi vinavyosababisha ugonjwa wa Mpox (homa ya nyani).
TEC inechukua hatua hiyo ikiwa ni siku moja baada ya Serikali kupitia Wizara ya Afya kuripoti uwepo wa wagonjwa wawili wa Mpox jijini Dar es Salaam ambao wanaendelea kupatiwa matibabu.
Kwa mujibu wa Shirika la Afya Duniani (WHO), ugonjwa huo unaosababishwa na virusi vya Mpox unasambaa kwa njia za matone ya mfumo wa njia ya hewa, ngozi kupitia kugusa na kujamiiana na mtu mwenye maambukizi.
Pia ugonjwa huo unaenea kutoka kwa mnyama kwenda kwa binadamu.
Leo Jumanne, Machi 11, 2025, Mkuu wa Idara ya Liturujia wa TEC, Padri Clement Kihiyo ametoa taarifa fupi akisema:”Wapendwa katika Kristo,
kutokana na tahadhari ya kiafya iliyotangazwa na Wizara ya Afya, kwa upande wa Liturujia tunasitisha kwa muda maji ya baraka kwa kuchovya hadi hali itakapotengemaa. Pia tusitishe kwa muda kupeana amani kwa kupeana mikono.”

European Union Bans Air Tanzania Over Safety Concerns
Kampala — The European Commission added Air Tanzania to the EU Air Safety List, banning the airline from operating within European Union airspace. This decision follows the denial of Air Tanzania’s Third Country Operator (TCO) authorization by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), citing significant safety deficiencies.
The EU Air Safety List includes airlines that fail to meet international safety standards. Commissioner Tzitzikostas emphasized the importance of passenger safety, stating: “The decision to include Air Tanzania in the EU Air Safety List underscores our unwavering commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards. We strongly urge Air Tanzania to take swift action to address these safety issues. The Commission has offered its assistance to Tanzanian authorities to enhance safety performance and achieve compliance with international aviation standards.”
Air Tanzania joins several African airlines banned from EU airspace, including carriers from Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and Kenya. Notable names include Congo Airways, Sudan Airways, and Kenyan carriers Silverstone Air Services and Skyward Express. The ban reflects the EU’s strict approach to aviation safety worldwide.

Tanzania’s opposition party ACT Wazalendo honours veteran politician under new policy
Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.
The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.
Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.
The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.
“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.
To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.
The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.
In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.
Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.
The leadership committee may also grant special recognition based on the leader’s contributions. Retired leaders will participate in decision-making meetings according to procedures outlined in the party’s constitution.
Depending on the party’s resources at the time, the policy may also apply to retired deputy chairpersons for both the mainland and Zanzibar, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General for both mainland and Zanzibar, and the party’s Attorney General.
Additionally, leaders, executives, or members with exceptional contributions to the party’s protection, advocacy, and defense may also benefit, as determined by the leadership committee.
Currently, those who are eligible for benefits under this policy include Juma Duni Haji (retired party Chairman) and Zitto Kabwe (retired party leader).Continue Reading
