Mhe.Dr.Fenella Mukangara / Waziri wa Michezo Wakati wa utawala wa Baba wa Taifa, Marehemu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, Tanzania iliingia kwenye rekodi ya mataifa tishio barani Afrika katika michezo. Wakati huo, wanamichezo wa taifa waliaminika kwa Watanzania kila waliposema wanakwenda kushindana nje ya nchi. Si kama Tanzania ilishushiwa muujiza bali ilitokana na namna viongozi wa Serikali na wale wa michezo wa wakati huo walivyotambua wajibu wao. Historia zinaonyesha namna michezo ilivyofanyika kwa mpangilio kuanzia ngazi za shule, kata, wilaya, mkoa na taifa, vipaji vilionekana na Taifa likafanya vizuri kimataifa. Tanzania iling’ara kwenye mashindano ya Olimpiki, Jumuiya ya Madola na Afrika wakati huo kutokana na namna taifa lilivyotengeneza timu za ushindani kuanzia ngazi ya wilaya, mikoa na hata taifa hivyo kuwa na akiba ya vijana wengi wenye vipaji vya michezo. Tofauti na sasa ambapo kadri siku zinavyozidi kwenda ndivyo jahazi la michezo ya Tanzania linazidi ku

Katibu Mkuu wa Kamati ya Olimpiki Tanzania (TOC), Filbert Bayi amesema ripoti ya timu za Tanzania zilizoshiriki michezo ya Jumuiya ya Madola imekwama baada ya Serikali kutaka wanamichezo wote waliokwenda Scotland kuhusishwa wakati itakapowasilishwa kwao. Bayi alisema Serikali imetaka wachezaji walioshiriki kwenye michezo hiyo kuwepo wakati vyama vyao vikiwasilisha ripoti zao za Madola. “Ripoti zimechelewa kwa kuwa Serikali imetaka wanamichezo wote waliokuwa Scotland kuwapo katika kikao cha tathmini, hiyo ni gharama, hivyo tuko kwenye mchakato wa kutafuta fedha ili kufanikisha hilo,” alisema. Alisema gharama za kufanya tathmini hiyo ni Sh 8 milioni, ambazo pia zitatumika kuwagharamia wachezaji wa mikoani walioshiriki michezo hiyo kuja Dar es Salaam ili kushiriki katika tathmini hiyo. “Hii ni mara ya kwanza ripoti ya Madola na tathmini yake kufanyika kwa kushirikis

Ni ndoto kwa Tanzania kufanya vizuri kwenye michezo kitaifa na kimataifa bila kuwekeza kwenye kukuza vipaji vya vijana kama ambavyo zimefanya nchi nyingine duniani. Huo ni ushauri wa Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Wananchi (CUF), Profesa Ibrahim Lipumba katika mahojiano maalumu na gazeti hili mwishoni mwa wiki. Prof Lipumba, ambaye mbali ya kubobea katika uchumi na siasa, alisema Tanzania haina budi kuwekeza katika michezo kuanzia elimu ya awali, msingi, sekondari hadi vyuo vikuu ambako vipaji vipya vitaweza kuibuliwa. Alisema Tanzania imekuwa ikifanya vibaya kimichezo kutokana na watoto wake wengi kudumaa kimwili kutokana na lishe duni kwao na wazazi wao. “Tunafanya vibaya kimichezo, tunatafuta sababu, lakini sababu zipo katikati yetu,” alieleza Prof Lipumba na kuongeza kuwa asilimia 42 ya watoto nchini wamedumaa, jambo ambalo linawaathiri katika mambo mengi yakiwamo michezo. Msomi huyo ambaye ni shabiki wa klabu ya Simba alisema uwekezaji ambao umefanywa kwa mfano n

TANZANIA'S medal hopes in the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games kept fading after the country's swimmer Ammaar Ghadiyali failed to make a cut in the semi-finals of the men's 50m freestyle. Ghadiyali took first place in heat one at Nanjing OSC Natatorium, putting down a time of 26.16 seconds but it was not enough to carry him through following outstanding results in the other five heats. The Tanzanian youngster finished 0.23 seconds ahead of second-placed Kojenlang Troy of the Marshall Islands, while Djoumoi Ibroihim of Comoros came in third at 29.57 seconds. Democratic Republic of Congo's Sokomayi Jonathan (31.69) and Cameroon's Guedia Cabrel settled for fourth and fifth places respectively (32.17). A total of 38 swimmers in other heats finished above Ghadiyali and out of them only one clocked more than 26 seconds, Swaziland's Richter Gabriel, who topped heat two after clocking 26.15 seconds.

Mashindano hayo yalifanyika kwa siku nne, kuanzia Agosti 10 mpaka 14 huku Afrika Kusini ikiongoza kwa kutwaa medali nyingi, ikifuatiwa na Nigeria na Kenya. Katika mashindano hayo, Zanzibar ilipeleka wanariadha wawili waliochuana katika michezo ya kurusha kisahani, mkuki na tufe huku Bara ikishindwa kupeleka mkimbiaji hata mmoja. Kitendo cha Bara kushindwa kupeleka wanamichezo katika mashindano hayo ya riadha ya Afrika kimewanyima fursa wanariadha kwenda kushindana na kutafuta viwango vitakavyowasaidia kwenye mashindano mengine ya kimataifa.
