Sara Kihomwe in rotten mangoes
On the evening after preparations, some
girls went to Mr. Marenga’s residence to
“steal” the assembled mangoes at his
parking area.
Good number of students took their
“raskets” and large sized plastic bags to
fill in ripen, unripe and rotten mangoes
in them without the permission of the
Timetable Master.
It was later known that he wanted to
distribute these mangoes to students.
The paper was told that some students
who were highly in need of fruits found
out that there were mangoes collected at
the mentioned parking area and conveyed the information to others.
In the mean time, Sara Kihomwe, a
famous pink girl (form Four), was spotted this week eating rotten mangoes with
vividly seen maggots “on their stage

Amusingly she looked normal and

Punctuality is a key
to your success
As a student who wants to succeed, using your time wisely is
worthy it. Being where you have to be on time. Doing what you
are required to do at the right time. This is what they call punctuality.
It all starts in morning. Wake up early at your will. This is
healthy. Go for morning prayers to begin your day with Divine
help.
Do your cleanliness assignment. No one will have to “disturb”
your concentration once you’re in the classroom.
Being punctual means you don’t get out of class simply because
you feel like going out. Classrooms need your attention. Going
out for short call deprives you of the very things your teacher
delivers. Staying in your classroom throughout the teaching, is
academically healthy.
Then, comes the time of punctual use of our breaks: why cant
we go for Dinning at the right time? Why should we wait for
someone to punish us simply because we delayed? Is this worthy it? Does it suggest seriousness? Our guess is no.
Why should someone have to go for short call fifteen minutes
after the break? Cant we control our attendance down there?
Because, we think, call of nature is the attitude of your mind.
You can control when to go, and when to stop! That’s why
when we travel we can manage to stay in the bus for several
hours with our “call of nature” controlled.
If we realize how many hours we waste by running here and
there at the time were supposed to concentrate, we can deliberately change.
Lets remember that time wasted, is time gone. There’s no way
it can be restored. Lets be punctual. Lets keep our daily routine
without someone force or constant reminding.

HARD TALK
By Mandy Charamba
Where are we heading
as a country?
Our country Tanzania, which was handled to us
by colonialists, where are you heading to?
My country, my leaders, does the word “satisfied”
exist in your dictionaries? Don’t you get enough?
You received a country which was not much in
ruins sence the country was returned in a peaceful
way.
But this same country today is drowning in an
unimaginable rate of poverty. This country which
is praised for having natural resources today 70%
of its dwellers can not afford a full day meal!
Where has the wealth gone to? Who is enjoying
on our situation? Have you allowed the whites to
have the last laugh for the second time?
If so, then who is the puppet this time around?
My dear leaders you stay in the parliament. The
only thing you can fight for is your welfare!? You
don’t give a damn about who elected you. Every
single day you are arguing about being added your
allowances. How much do you earn for a month?
Try imagining yourselves surviving with one meal
per day (the truth to most of us). Do you really
dare to say your salaries are not enough?
You turn and point at everything say it has gone
wrong but in reality its you.
My leaders, you have taken the wrong step
towards leadership. If you cant control yourselves
and your ambitions, who else can?
On this corner we will be raising different issues
especially critics so as to make students aware of

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dining Hall complaints
Every one attends the Dining Hall everyday. It’s
the important place in school.
But this same Dining Hall has become a “torture”
to students.
Even some students take their food and eat
outside (on the veranda or under the trees)
despite knowing the fact that they will be
punished later.
We have complained and complained about its
condition but nothing has been done.
The truth is the Dining Hall is too hot especially
in the afternoon due to heated iron sheet, lack of
windows and having the kitchen on the other side
which causes very hot atmosphere when walls get
too heated. The Dining Hall becomes almost
airless.
This is unhealthy to students. We have always
suggested that windows should be added and the
roof should have the ceiling board. Now that
some of us suffer the breathing problems, it shall
be fair for authorities to deal with the matter.

Immensely educated and challenged. Shocked but inspired. Here are some chapters from one of his books;
"The Plundered Planet: Why We Must and How We Can
Manage Nature for Global Prosperity" (Feb, 28)
-Wondering who tweets. Aren t you guys on twitter? If

We have got to believe in ourselves and tell ourselves we can and surely we can. There’s an adage
which says, “You can succeed in life even if no
body believes in you! And you can not succeed if
you do not believe in yourself.
The funny thing is that if you believe you are a
looser, you will walk, talk and act like a looser. If
you believe you are talented, you will walk, talk and
act like talented. Deep down each of us is a sleeping giant waiting to be woken up. But the giant in
you will not wake up, until you believe in yourself.
But then I know each of us has failed in this or
that. But that doesn’t mean that we are failures. I
know you and I have lost in this or that but it doesn’t mean that we are losers. When we fail, we have
to try again and again. We should not be discouraged of course challenges are many along the way
but if we are optimists, we will succeed in our
plans. By the way if we think we can, we are right
and if we think we can not, we are right also.
Believe that you can and you will see wonders in
your life.

Trust me, If we could have wings, we could all fly.
money is not an issue but where to spend becomes
an issue.
There are so ugly women, there’re women who do
not know that they are beautiful. A woman is what
she makes herself. Some say it hard to look flying
all the time but for a real woman it’s a habit. Nobody can make a woman answer questions she
doesn’t want to and nobody can force her give a
reason for not doing it. Since she has her own
values and rules that help her be what she is.
A real woman knows her worth. She does everything with elegance. She knows how to make anyone dance her tune. She always stays independent
and free.
She knows what to have it. A real woman is confident.
A real woman says, “No Jesus, No swagger”
Hope you’re a real woman today, tomorrow and in
the whole future. We, women run the world!
——Jacque Willy Manumbu
What is life?
What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story and the
greatest good is little enough. Foe life is a dream
and dreams themselves are only dreams.
When I was young, I woke up every morning with
a frown because I never understood the reason of
my being. But now I know that life is a gift only that
some of us open the package sooner.
You know what? Life is all about giving and sharing
love to people. But again you can never offer anything to anyone if you cant give love to yourself.
Sometimes knowing someone here or there with
whom you can feel there is understanding in spite
of distance or thoughts expressed that can make
life a garden.
Life is so short and too much of a luxury to be
wasted on pretense. So make the most out of it and
stop worrying over what other people are thinking
about you because they are too busy worrying over
what you think about them.

How to handle an oily skin
Most of the people with an oil skin normally struggle a
lot to find the perfect lotion for their skin. Sometimes
they tend to use different ointment and cream on their
face so as to cure acne and pimples.
Well, today I have got some few tips on how to take care
of an oily skin. But before I give out the tips, let’s know
the features of a person with an oily skin.
How to know if you have an oily skin
If you have one of the following, you may have an oily
skin
·
·
·
·
Shiny nose and forehands
Shiny skin near the face line
You have pimples and acne
Your face has small open pores
Some people think that oily skin is only for fat or obese
people. But the truth is even the skinned people may
also face the problem.
If you have pimples, understand that it’s advised to puncture any of them on the face as it may open more pores
on the face. The trouble is, when the pores are open, it
becomes easy for dirt material and bacteria to enter into
your skin and more pimples may erupt.
The puncturing of pimples may also leave scars on your
faces that are hard to remove. One is advised to leave
them and let them dry up by themselves rather than
puncture them.

Life is what you do now
Life isn’t what you are studying for
Life isn’t what you are working for
You should be happy right now
Take what life brought
Don’t waste your time wishing for the better
You just live it
Be happy for the limited things you have
Learn to copy with the situation
Be happy because never again will it happen
That you do or experience what you are doing now
Be proud of who and how you are
Because there is no body who has exactly what you
have
Everything comes and goes
If you think there is something you shall be happy
for
Just be happy

Far better it is to dare mighty things
To win glorious triumphs
Even though checked by failure,
Than to take rank with those poor spirits
Who neither enjoy much nor suffer much
Because they live in the gray twilight
That knows neither victory nor defect

Tips for achieving your
goals
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become an
achiever? Here’s a list of tips for everyone to
achieve:
•
Be focused. Put all your efforts into what you
do everyday.
•
Believe in yourself. If you don’t know one else
can do it.
•
Be determined. If you’re determined to do
something, you have made a firm decision to
do it and you will not let anyone prevent you.
•
Trust your instincts.
•
See yourself as a victory
•
Be passionate about what you do.
•
Do not become contented by not satisfied with
what you have but aiming higher.
•
Maintain your momentum.
•
If you’re in charge, then be in charge.
•
Lastly, never give up!

•
Wash your face with a lot of water and then using a
cleanser; cleanse it so as to remove the dirt and excess oil
from your face. This helps to leave the pore open and
clean.
•
Use toner, after cleansing your face the skin pores
are left open so you should apply toner which will help
you cover the pores on your skin from dust and bacteria.
Apply a moisturizing lotion because an oily skin like any
other type of skin, looses moisture and remember that
the lotion that you will use should be for an oily skin.
Sometimes if you see that its expensive to buy this, you
are advised to use a lemon or cucumber to cleanse your
skin so as to reduce excess oil and sometime you may try
the clay mask therapy that removes pimples, acne, scars
and excess oil on your face.
If you have tried all this and still nothing is working for
you, it means that you have got a chronic situation and
you are advised to see a dermatologist so you may be
cured. Do not use any ointment cream without being
advised by a dermatologist.
