Mangapwani Port Zanzibar
Wawekezaji wa makampuni ya Gesi wamelilalamikia Shirika la Bandari Zanzibar kwa Urasimu usiokuwa na ulazima katika juu ya eneo la Bandari la Uwekezaji Mangapwani.
Mnamo Novemba 2021 serikali ya Zanzibar ilieleza azma yake ya kufanikiwa katika mradi mkubwa wa maendeleo katika Bandari ya Uwekezaji ya Mangwani.
Chini ya mradi huu unaojumuisha wote wa Mangapwani, Zanzibar ilikuwa ni kujenga bandari kubwa ya kisasa yenye vituo kadhaa vya kontena na vya jumla vya mizigo, vikiwemo mafuta, meli za uvuvi, mafuta na gesi asilia.
Mwaka mmoja baadae…
Habari kutoka vyanzo mbalimbali ndani ya Serikali, Wawekezaji na wadau wengine wa matumizi ya gesi wanasema kuwa Shirika la Bandari linachelewesha kwa makusudi mchakato wa utoaji vitalu.
Ofisa mmoja kutoka Kampuni ya Puma alisema kwamba ni zaidi ya mwaka mmoja sasa tangu walipowasilisha maombi ya kutaka kupatiwa eneo kwa ajili ya kuweka gesi na Mafuta katika Eneo la Mangapwani,lakini kila wanapofuatilia Shirika la Bandari ndilo linaloonekana kutokuwa tayari.
” Sisi tumeomba eneo la Mangapwani kuweka kituo chetu, pamoja na kukamilisha taratibu zote,lakini mpaka sasa hakuna kinachoendelea” Alisema Ofisa Mmoja wa Kampuni ya Puma.
Watendaji wengine wa Makapuni ya uuzaji gesi na Mafuta ambao hawakupenda kutaja majina yao, wamesema wanashangazwa na Watendaji wa Shirika la Bandari kuwazungusha kila siku.
Habari zaidi kutoka Mamlaka ya Udhibiti wa Maji na Nishati Zanzibar( ZURA) zinasema kuwa kwa upande wao wamekamilisha yale yanayowahusu na kilichobakia ni kwa Shirika la Bandari kutoa ruhusa kwa makampuni yaliyoomba kuweza kuwekeza sekta ya gesi na nishati.
“Hatuelewi kwanini kumekuwa na urasimu katika jambo hili, kila walichotwambia tumewapelekea” Alisema Ofisa Mwandamizi katika Kampuni ya Gesi ya ORXY.
Awali, suala la uwekezaji katika eneo la Mangapwani Mkoa wa Kaskazini Unguja lilikuwa likiratibiwa na ZURA ,lakini lilihamishwa na kupelekwa Shirika la Bandari ambalo halina ujuzi na utaalamu katika masuala ya nishati na gesi.
Kwa mujibu wa mpango wa Serikali, eneo la Mangapwani limetengwa kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa Bandari na Mji wa Kisasa.
Juhudi za kumpata Mkurugenzi wa Shirika la Bandari Zanzibar, Nahaat Mahfoudh hazikuweza kufanikiwa.

‘No Marburg Confirmed In Tanzania’, But Mpox Remains ‘Public Health Emergency’
Monrovia — The Director General of the African Centers for Disease Control, Jean Kaseya, has said the center stands ready to support Tanzania and other countries in the region where suspected cases of the infectious Marburg Virus Disease have been identified. The World Health Organization earlier this week issued an alert warning of a possible outbreak in the country, although the Tanzanian Health Ministry has said tests conducted on available samples did not show the existence of Marburg in the East African nation.
“As of the 15 of January 2025, laboratory results from all suspected individuals were negative for Marburg Virus,” Tanzanian Health Minister Jenista Mhagama said in a statement. This would have marked the country’s second experience with the highly infectious disease that recently killed over a dozen people in neighboring Rwanda. Tanzania previously reported an outbreak of Marburg in 2023 in the Kegara region, said to have been the epicenter of the new suspected cases.
At the Africa CDC online briefing on Thursday, Kaseya also said another infectious disease, Mpox, “remains a public health concern”. He said that while in December 2024, the disease had afflicted 20 countries, a new country – Sierra Leone – has been added to the number after recent outbreak there. Sierra Leonean health authorities said on January 10 that two cases of Mpox had been confirmed in the country and dozens of contacts are being traced.
With thousands of confirmed cases of Mpox across Africa and more than 1000 people having died of the disease – mainly in Central Africa – Kaseya emphasized the need to increase testing, a theme he’s heralded before. The Africa CDC boss said over the next few months the continental health watchdog will deploy additional epidemiologists and community health workers to areas considered hot spots of infectious diseases in the region.
