Pay last respects to body of the dead? No; you pay last respects to ‘the dead’
STATIONARY? No! This is an old goof, you may bet it has featured in our past editions, but let’s expose once again, hoping culpable artists across Dar and beyond will be recalled by STATIONERY owners to undo the damage. Yes, “stationary” is an adjective that describes something that’s not moving. However, the signpost in this photo taken in Tegeta, Dar es Salaam, is advertising a shop which sells paper, notebooks, pens and other writing material, that is, STATIONERY. Trust signwriters.

Late on Thursday, February 29, Tanzania lost a great man, Retired President Ali Hassan Mwinyi. He was 98. Mzee Mwinyi, was the man who took over this country’s leadership mantle following the voluntary retirement in 1985 of founding Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere.
This exceptional leader was a man who wielded so much power, being the topmost leader of this huge country, yet he remained so humble and likeable in his demeanour, conduct and speech.
