No one worries about walking down the street with shouts of ‘Masungu’ screaming around the ears!!!!

What’s wrong with trees anyway, leave the girl alone and throw your toys out of your cot over more serious issues like the corruption in Tanzania which makes the traffic officers stand by the side of the road with their begging bowls!!

I’m thinking that the girl Pernille knows (and knew beforehand) exactly how much controversy she was going to cause hence attracting more audience to her blog and hence the analytical traffic. I would not be surprised if all the traffic to her blog is not generating revenue. And all of you haters are contributing to that traffic. She’s smart.

Bytheway, why is it that everyone gets offended by such remarks? There is more than enough really bad bullsh*t being published all over the internet world. Moreover, did anyone of you participate in any of the anti war demonstrations that went on the world over when Bush was attacking Iraq? I bet you none. These are some of the real issues that need prompt and active participation. But i saw nary a blog write about that. The girl does express her personal opinion of which we are all full of. To be honest, if we were to be so emotionally mature, none of us would have called to threaten or insult her the way it has been written we did. And more ……. perhaps then, we would have more rights to criticize her on her comments.

Live and let live…
Peace

Madafu – Ni mtanzania mzawa wa mkoa wa Kilimanjaro, nimekulia Dar es Salaam na kutembelea nchi nyingi za magharibi na kuona mengi yakiwepo ubaguzi wa rangi. I then decided to quit Europe and now i’m in Tanzania living it large.

It’s all in the head.

Pernille writes very well, has one of the greatest blogs I know, and frequently visit. She is considerate, yet straightforward and frank.

Since when a crime?

There are some errors and omissions in this report.

You tell us that she suspended her blog because of the image she gave of Tanzania. Wasn’t it because of one phrase in her blog? Why aren’t you more specific?

You tell us that the facebook group wanted her to apologise. Why don’t you tell us that what they said was ‘apologise or leave’? They even made a little banner with that superimposed on the top banner of her blog. This is very different from how you represent it.

You tell us that a reader posted something on michuzi’s blog. You know that michuzi’s blog is managed by michuzi. Michuzi puts entries up, not readers. A reader requested that his facebook group be announced there and Michuzi himself decided to post it.

In your selection of messages from the facebook group, you make a glaring omission. You give us most of zebahati’s message, but not the last five words. These are, as you probably know, “pernille get the f*ck out”. They change the tone of his message somewhat, don’t they?

You don’t tell us of the comments on the michuzi blog, and others. The last time I looked (a few days ago) most of them were in favour of Pernille. Though others were hateful.
