SINGLE IN THE CITY: We can influence our personal freedoms

>A whip lash cuts across your back the shock of it too harsh for you to conjure tears, as a wail escapes your lips. You’re on the fields of a clove plantation back in colonial times, your crime was leaving early so you can go breastfeed your daughter. When the ordeal is over later in the evening a fellow worker, your trusted friend Naetwe tries to put herbs on your back as you’re delirious in pain.

The influence of a single individual in the DMV Tanzania community

The DMV Tanzanian community has been going through some rough times recently. You could say some of us are experiencing post elections blues. The recent elections and the unexpected outcomes which are still being disputed has brought about so much scandal. I ask myself why and try to examine the whole thing. What is the source of the problem and what could have been done differently and how do we move forward from here.

SINGLE IN THE CITY: Need to appreciate our own culture

It’s like you’ve lost your favourite jewellery. Sofa cushions are turned inside out; dusty corners of the room are massaged for the clue that will lead you to that glint of silver.

SINGLE IN THE CITY: We go through different phases

>Have you ever wondered why men rarely marry the women they date for years?  You date a guy all the way through campus, see him through the roughest times of his life and stick with him when the world is against him then he suddenly dumps you only to marry a girl he just met 3 months ago?

SINGLE IN THE CITY: You need to reclaim your inner peace

Before the city rubs its rough on you, before you balk at the mounting chores that ought to be done, rush out of the house to brace the traffic one more time. Listen to the rasp of your voice, the vulnerable of your eyes opening up to the view of a new day. With the hazy gaze that reveals the person who can enjoy the sultry of sleep, the cocoon of dreams.

SINGLE IN THE CITY: Grooming affection

>I used to cling to the idea that a great partner – one with no flaws will come and sweep me off my feet, on first encounter. But that notion seems to be far-fetched and I learnt to push it under the rug lest it led me to a life of constant illusion.
