A story is told of a king who had no heir and one day he decided to find one among his subjects. He invited 10-year-olds to the palace and told them his desire.
He gave them a simple assignment to test their readiness to take the mantle — each was to plant a seed, nurture it and after two or so weeks the children were to go back to the king with their seedlings.
The excited children and parents planted the seeds and watered them but after a week, they had not germinated! The parents shared their frustrations and they conspired to buy seeds similar to the king's and continue with the assignment. One boy's parents refused to play ball insisting that he had to nurture the seed given by the king.
When the boys went before the king, they were all excited about their healthy seedlings, which they held in pride. The king praised them for a job well done.
And when it came to the boy whose seed was dead, the king asked, "What happened?" Trembling, the boy explained that he did everything but the seed did not germinate. The king held the boy's hand and announced to his subjects, "Behold, the king's heir!"
Honest boy
The others complained aloud. How and he had no seedling? The king explained that he had actually given them boiled seeds to plant and among them all, the boy with no seedling was the only honest one!
This story is relevant to nearly every member of political opposition parties in Zanzibar and Tanzania mainland. Every one wants the best in life and somehow believes that the easiest way to achieve this is through dishonest means.

Ndugu Mtatiro nashindwa kuelewa hii lugha ya "tukakaa kimya". Jambo linapotokea and you keep quite umekubaliana nalo na litakuwa sheria. Kwanini msilipinge hadi litakapo rekebishwa? Unasema muda mwafaka , ni lini huo muda utafika na unadhani mambo yatakuwa yanawasubiri?. Ni lazima mchukue hatua SASA.

Salim, Ilikuwa ni CUF ya Lipumba lakini tofauti na wakati ule alikuwa amezungukwa na watu wenye busara, sio hii KAFU ya akina Lipumba na Mtatiro na akina bwege. Hakuna maana nyingine ya chama cha kishkaji zaidi ya hiyo unayoijua. Kwa miaka mitano tu kundi la CUF ya akina Mtatiro limeitoa kule kwenye chama chenye kuleta ushindani hadi kufikia kuwa wasindikizaji katika kila chaguzi ndogo zaidi wameongeza matamko. |

| Deogratius, Naomba ufafanue maana halisi ya maneno "chama flani cha kishikaji"... Na kilipokuwa chama kikuu cha upinzani "bungeni" kilichokuwa kinashirikisha vyama vingine vya upinzani kuunda upinzani rasmi bungeni (tofauti kabisa na hichi cha sasa), ilikuwa CUF ya nani kama siyo Lipumba? Ama kulikuwa na mwenyekiti mwengine unayemjua wewe ambaye sisi wengine hatumjui? On Mar 25, 2014 4:17 PM, "deogratius mruah" <mruahdeo@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
