WERE ZAMANI TEENS MORE ETHICAL THAN TODAY’S?
![]() |
Late 1980s |
ARE YOU
SAYING ZAMANI TEENS WERE MORE ETHICAL THAN TODAY’S? Give me a break.
UNLESS the ZAMANI teens you are referring to
are those before 1980s and 1990s, then you are deceiving yourself and lying to
others. LISTEN,
As a teenager,
I went to boys’ secondary school late 1980s through mid 1990s. Whether this
constitutes the zamani you are referring to or not, I do not know. My interest
is more in sharing what was happening then and you judge whether that was any
more ethical than watoto wa siku hizi:
One: The majority of us sneaked from
school in evenings and on weekends to nearby suburbs and villages (Nzovwe, Kalobe, Itende, etc) to chase
for primary school and village girls to try our lucky for sexual intercourse
favours. Some of us were lucky to have one or two girl friends and had fun
twice or more and sometimes just once. This was really cool. I have no idea
whether we did or did not impregnate any of the fellow teenage girls. I would
not be surprised to learn we fathered a few then. Our girl friends and their
parents might have never had the guts to try tracing us at Iyunga secondary
school.
THE STORY OF ADELLA: SHE GOT PREGNANT AT 16 AND DEFILED THE ODDS ACADEMICALLY!
Adella says (as part of her story), “Despite being one of the best female students in my school, I dropped out to protect the life of another human being, at that tender age… But finally I made it
academically with flying colours, even beating a number of those who were not
mothers, and to date, I am earning my
living… I am independent.”

THE STORY OF A PhD STUDENT WHO GOT PREGNANT IN FORM 3
“The president (Magufuli) should
not be afraid that teen mothers, if allowed back in schools, would encourage
other girls to fall pregnant. I think the focus should be on what the country
stands to gain when the teen mothers are allowed back in schools.” Said
Caroline Kandusi.

ACCOUNTABILITY KEY TO SUCCESS OF TANZANIA'S FEE FREE EDUCATION
Without good
accountability enforcement mechanisms in place, Fee Free Education may be futile.
Pictured are Two muddy
and grass thatched classrooms at Kivukoni Primary school in Ruvuma Region
Tanzania, accommodating more than 170 students. This is despite the government
disbursing more than 140 million December last year for construction of better
classrooms.
