Wema Sepetu proves body positivity is a crab in the bucket mentality

Tanzanian actress and model, Wema Sepetu is being shamed for actually gett8ing to the right size for a woman her height and age. Let that sink in for a minute.

Wema Sepetu is the latest instalment of this narrative as we have seen it repeated in the lives of Adelle, the UK singer a...

Coronavirus: Somalia, Benin Republic, Liberia, Tanzania Confirm First Cases

Tanzania, Liberia, Benin and Somalia confirmed their first coronavirus cases on Monday, as more African nations shut their borders amid fears the disease could cause their fragile health systems to collapse. The new cases mean 30 African nations - more than half the continent - are now treating nearly 400 patients with coronavirus. Somalia, which has been at civil war since 1991, is completely reliant on donors to support its meagre public hospitals. Fighting between Islamist insurgents and the internationally-backed government has forced more than 2.6 million Somalis to flee their homes. Many live in makeshift tents made of sticks and scraps of material. Health minister Fawziya Abikar Nur said on Twitter that the ministry had quarantined and tested four Somalis who came from ...

¨Sit back, relax and wait for Karma!¨ Tanasha Donna rants

Tanasha Donna and Diamond´s breakup is still something the world is grappling with, even though signs were sent our way long time ago, but we just never paid keen attention. The Kenyan girl has been ranting online over the breakup which left her with a kid to nurse and watch growing up, probably all by herself. In her recent post, Tanasha urged her fans to never avenge people who wrong them because karma will do so when the time comes. If anything: Avenge evil with Good! 'When people wrong you… never wrong them back. You can only fight evil with GOOD.' Mama Naseeb Junior seemingly hinted that she has far much better days and nights compared to when she was still dating Diamond. She believes she was ´real, genuine, loyal & no fake´ but all that was taken for granted ...

Timmy Tdat has been keeping a low profile for months now. This is after his popular song Vitamin U was pulled down from YouTube; due to its dirty content. The video which featured a naked Rosa Ree gave many a reason to complain; and criticized it for pornographic visuals.

Mange Kimambi blasts Diamond Platnumz, Says ¨If you don´t stop getting women pregnant, I will come and teach you how to do it!¨

Tanzanian activist, Mange Kimambi has shamed Diamond for impregnating every woman who comes into his life without thinking of the consequences. In her recent public rant, Mange bashed Tanasha for bearing Chibu a son too soon, yet he was not prepared for it. Further calling out Diamond´s other baby mamas for falling into the same trap – reason why Diamond opted out of their lives. However, Mange believes Diamond also has a stake in his ever-growing lineage, blasting him for not using protection. She blatantly told the Tanzanian crooner to spill out, if he cannot afford to use protection. 'Na wewe Diamond jamani kama hupendi kutumia condom basi uwe unakojoa nje. Mbona mshamba wewe? Wanaume mastaa wenye visenti vyao wasiotaka kulipa machild support wanapigaga mabao ya nje tu....

Some Women In East Africa Are Being Forced To Breastfeed Their Husbands

Men seeking to be breastfed by their wives are not uncommon in certain parts of Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. However, it is now being linked to gender violence and coercive behaviour and there are concerns over the impact on babies’ nutrition according to a report by Guardian U.K. Little was known about the practice until Uganda’s minister of state for health, Sarah Opendi, broke the silence in parliament in 2018 and warned against “a growing culture of men demanding to suckle, which was becoming a problem for some breastfeeding mothers and their babies”. Researchers went ahead to study this behaviour and the reasons propelling this action, the study focused on the rural Buikwe district, in the central region, where the behaviour is reported to be common.
