Dec 24, 2021 0

BANK OF AFRICA (BOA- Tanzania) Deputy Managing Director Wasia Mushi (right) Sales Manager Fortunatus Joachim (Second right), Acting Head of Digital Services Unit Aman Anord (left) and Marketing Manager, Beatrice Mirigo display newly launched VISA GREEN card in Dar es Salaam.


DAR ES SALAAM, December 22th 2021 – Bank of Africa in Tanzania have launched new interesting features for its ATM cards implemented in both the bank’s VISA and UMOJA SWITCH cards. The launch involved the introduction of the bank’s Prepaid card dubbed” VISA GREEN” and the introduction of the ATM cards interoperability features.

Speaking at the launch, the Deputy Managing Director for BANK OF AFRICA TANZANIA, Mr. Wasia Mushi said that; “the launch of the prepaid cards together with the introduction of the interoperability feature of our cards is to ensure that customers transactions are convenient and efficient.

These new interoperability feature will enable the banks customers to be able to perform transactions in any of the 18 African countries in which the bank is present which extends from West, East, Central and southern Africa.

Our prepaid cards also come as an added advantage to enable our clients to be able to perform cashless transactions during this holiday season, all you have to do is to top up your card and you are good to go, no need of walking with a lump sum of money which can be unsafe at times. Hence we guarantee you safety of your funds and transact anywhere with your card at hand.

The launch of the new card and the new interoperability feature is a demonstration of BANK OF AFRICA’s commitment to providing world-class products and services to its clients. Explained Mr. Mushi

The acting Chief Digital Officer, Mr. Amani Anord, added, “The interoperability feature is a services established by BOA group that will allow all the ATM cards for Bank of Africa customers to be accepted in BOA group network without rooting the transactions to international switch like visa, instead we will use our own BOA switch for processing the transaction and settlement.

This service will allow BOATZ cards (UMOJA SWITCH and VISA) originating from the bank to operate and to be accepted in ATMs of the BANK OF AFRICAs subsidiaries and to be treated as local transaction with fee defined system. To improve customer experience, convenience to utilize BANK OF AFRICA group Network and allow customers to transact in other BOA ATM with lower transaction fees compared to the international charges currently available.

Ladies and gentlemen, the beauty of using BANK’s prepaid paid card is that, it does not need to be linked to any of customers’ account to access this service. One can use the prepaid card to make purchase on line, shopping, payments of bills or use within family members.

Prepaid cards provide a relatively simple way to pay for purchases without taking out a line of credit or using a bank account. And they pose less risk since you have to load money onto the card in order to use it — perfect if you’re worried about overspending or misplacing your debit or credit card and giving fraudsters access to your debit or credit limits.

The introduction of these new features is intended to make it easier, safer, and faster for our customers to transact, Mr. Anord urged. “The cards improve customer convenience, and access to your funds is made ease.

Mr. Anord emphasizes that the roll-out of the new features and prepaid card is in line with their customers’ increasing preference for solutions that add ease and convenience to their lives.

“The shift away from cash and towards contactless payment methods has only been accelerated by the pandemic and will continue to grow under the new normal,” he says.

The bank strives to be at the forefront of new financial innovation and technology to make customers remotely access bank services. As they adjust to the new normal, they are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and seamless customer experience, reduce cash dependency and ultimately increase the adoption of digital payments and transaction platforms.

Dec 10, 2021 0


DAR ES SALAAM, December 8th 2021- BANK OF AFRICA, one of the leading Pan African multinational bank, has on Wednesday launched its bancassurance services in collaboration with Alliance life and Alliance General Insurance. The product dubbed “BIMA KWANZA” is set to bring changes in the insurance market in Tanzania while aiming at promoting financial inclusion and making the bank as a one stop center for all its clients’ needs.

Speaking during the launch Mr. Adam Mihayo, the Managing Director and CEO for BANK OF AFRICA-TANZANIA explained, “We are happy to launch the product because Bancassurance is becoming an important factor to support the overall growth of the financial services industry in many markets. Partnership between banks and insurance companies has significant benefits to clients as it enables them to get an expanded products and services suite, and also helps from a risk coverage perspective for potential default situations in case unforeseen occurrences happen to them.

I applaud the Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority and the Bank of Tanzania for issuing the Bancassurance guidelines for banks and financial institutions in 2019, highlighting that they demonstrate a positive collaboration and development by the two regulators to enable growth and expansion in this segment through a coordinated and regulated manner.

As part of the policy for the 6th Phase Government under our President Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, the government is keen to see every Tanzanian has access to financial services. In this context we are pleased to introduce to you “BIMA KWANZA”. This will not only help our clients in securing their funds and wealth, but also their peace of mind and thus their wellbeing” remarked Adam.

Speaking at the launch event, Mr. Byford Mutimusakwa, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Life Assurance Limited, said that, we are excited about BIMA KWANZA milestone in which we are an active partner. We have partnered with BOA Bank in developing innovative products and winning strategies for the BOA bancassurance distribution channel. Through this partnership we are going to offer exceptionally and uniquely value adding life insurance solutions to our mutual clients. All this is encapsulated in our mission Statement ie “To be the Leading Life Assurance Provider that provides superior products and services for the benefit of Tanzanians”. Our products include Group Life products, Credit Life products, embedded products and Individual life products such as Education Policies, Keyman Policies, Protection and investment policies.

The Alliance Life Partnership with BOA Bank will enable the Bank to become a one Stop shop for banking and insurance services through the branch network of BOA Bank. This will give BOA Bank a competitive advantage in the market.

This is clearly a Win-Win partnership for all stakeholders. This will surely increase insurance penetration in Tanzania.

Mr Byford Mutimusakwa further said, Alliance Life Assurance Limited is a leading life insurance company and one the fastest growing life Insurance companies in Tanzania. We have been in the market for 23 years. Some of the large claims that we have paid include Tshs 2.9 billion (2019); Tshs 1 billion (2021) several claims between Tshs 500 million and Tshs 1 billion. This goes to prove our financial muscle and our commitment to service delivery. This is aptly captured in our values which are Integrity, commitment, speed and passion.

Speaking at the launch event, the Alliance General, Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Rajiv Kumar has said that Banca distribution channel has become a strong channel in order to make insurance products accessible to a large number of Tanzanians which aims to improve the penetration of insurance in all regions of the country.

This channel has also helped increase employment opportunities for young graduates. Through the partnership, Bank of Africa - Alliance Insurance Corporation Ltd, is now able to provide a one stop solution for both banking and general insurance products General to its customers across the branch network. For Building an omnichannel system like this, we have worked on creating a joint team of both Bank of Africa and Alliance Insurance Corporation Ltd employees, who are empowered to bring together all the functions involved in the effort in an agile way.

This new team will work on a target model that both the Bank of Africa and Alliance Insurance, use this as a means of supporting bold moves and providing full transparency. In addition, the team is empowered to constantly prioritize and adjust initiatives based on continuous feedback gathered along the way from functions such as analytics, campaign design, and management.

There are incredible growth opportunities for bancassurance, however, the key to capturing them lies in digital and analytics capabilities that will enable personalization, a superior customer experience, and an omnichannel offering. Customers want a solution and not just a insurance product, our aim will be to ensure customers experience hassle free by providing a number of value additions to client's insurance program including easy access for claims reporting, regular advises, follow-up and settlement.

Bank of Africa Tanzania will now become your one stop shop. The bancassurance distribution model allows our customers to get their insurance products along with an amalgamation of other financial services under one roof. Insurance used to be the missing piece of the puzzle which now Banc assurance completes. There are many more advantages to this but as a bank we offer our assurance of the best value for money”.

Communal violence turns deadly in Nigeria - Africa

Feb 1, 2014 0




Latest incidents in Kaduna and Borno states raise fears of more religious violence in run-up to presidential poll.

Eight people have been killed in religious violence in Nigeria, including a Christian family of seven, while a roadside bomb has killed seven others in an area known for Boko Haram activity.

The two incidents on Friday followed a deadly attack on a Catholic church last weekend, which killed more than 60 people and raised fresh questions about the government's strategy to end the bloodshed and revamp the military.

Boko Haram is an armed group fighting against Western influence in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria, where it wants to set up an Islamic state .

In the first attack, unknown assailants in cars and on motorbikes burst into the family's house in Unguwar Kajit, a village in the mainly Christian part of Kaduna state, and opened fire, locals said.

"Christian youth provoked by the attack, which they blamed on Fulani Muslims, mobilised and launched reprisal attacks, burning mosques and houses," Emmanuel Zadiok, a youth leader, said.

Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, Kaduna governor, has ordered an investigation.

He condemned the attack and "prayed that God should expose the perpetrators", Ahmed Maiyaki, Yero's spokesman, said.

In the second incident, seven people were killed and three others seriously injured when their bus ran over a home-made bomb near Kuthra village in the Gwoza area of Borno state, police said.

Deadly attacks

Boko Haram has ratcheted up deadly attacks in the border area with Cameroon in recent months and Lawan Tanko, Borno state police commissioner, blamed the group for planting the device.

Earlier this month a car bomb targeted a busy market, killing 19 in Gwoza, located about 150km from the Borno's capital Maiduguri, Boko Haram's spiritual home.

Boko Haram also attacked military installations in December last year, forcing a city-wide shut-down and raising questions about Nigeria's counterinsurgency strategy.

A state of emergency imposed on Borno and two neighbouring northeast states in May last year has pushed Boko Haram fighters into more remote, rural areas but attacks have continued. Last Sunday, at least 60 people were killed.

Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, who was the first journalist to travel to the village of Waga Chakawa in the northern Nigerian state of Adawama, where the attack on the Catholic church took place last Sunday, reported that the church was completely destroyed.

Adamawa is home to Nigeria's new chief of defence staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh, who has pledged to defeat Boko Haram by the end of April.

Human Rights Watch, the New York-based rights organisation, has estimated that more than 500 people were killed, most of the them Muslims, in southern Kaduna, which is predominantly Christian.

Nigeria is almost evenly split between the Muslim majority north and largely Christian south.

Uganda church rejects anti-gay criticism

Stanley Ntagaali says "homosexual practice is incompatible with scripture" after prelates urge support for homosexuals.

The anti-gay bill in Uganda was tabled before parliament in 2009 but was shelved due to sharp criticism [EPA]


The head of the Anglican Church in Uganda has criticised the position of UK archbishops on homosexuality, saying "homosexual practice is incompatible with scripture".

Stanley Ntagaali was reacting to a letter written by archbishops Justin Welby and John Sentamu, leaders of the worldwide Anglican Communion, in which the clergymen said that "victimisation or diminishment of human beings ... is anathema" to the Church of England and that the church was committed to "pastoral support and care of gay people".

The clergymen addressed their letter to primates of the Anglican Communion, and to the presidents of Nigeria and Uganda, saying it was in response to questions raised about the Church of England's attitude to new legislation in several countries that penalise gay people.

Sentamu, the archbishop of York, is originally from Uganda, whose parliament has passed an anti-homosexuality bill that still awaits presidential endorsement before it becomes law.

Last month, Nigeria enacted anti-gay legislation amid condemnation from rights groups.

Death sentence 

Ntagali said the Church of Uganda was encouraged by the work of the Ugandan parliament in amending the anti-homosexuality bill, which had clauses stipulating a death sentence for people convicted of aggravated homosexuality - defined as sex acts committed with children by HIV-positive individuals.

Bur he said the teaching of the Anglican Communion from the 1998 Lambeth Conference "cannot advise the legitimising or blessing of same sex unions nor ordaining those involved in same gender unions".

"It was the Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Church of Canada’s violations of Lambeth 1.10 which caused the Church of Uganda to break communion with those Provinces more than ten years ago," Ntagaali said.

"We sincerely hope the archbishops and governing bodies of the Church of England will step back from the path they have set themselves on so the Church of Uganda will be able to maintain communion with our own Mother Church."

Homosexuality is frowned upon by many African clergymen although their Western counterparts continue to urge tolerance and pastoral support for gay people.

The anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda was tabled before parliament in 2009 but was shelved due to sharp criticism from Western leaders who have called it "odious" and have threatened to cut aid to the East African nation if the bill becomes law.

President Yoweri Museveni said last month he needed more time to review the bill, adding that it was passed by parliament without the minimum number of MPs required to be present in the house.

Mata ajasiliwa na Manchester United

Jan 22, 2014 Category : 0



Juan Mata

Ombi la Manchster United la kutaka kumsajili nyota wa Chelsea Juan Matata imekubalika.

Ripoti zinasema United imetumia takriban kitita cha pauni milioni 37 kumsajili mcheza kiungo huyo wa Chelsea.


Mata mwenye umri wa miaka 25, anatarajiwa kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kimatibabu baadaye hii leo, kabla ya kukamilisha usajili huo.

Mchezaji huyo kutoka Uhispania anatarajiwa kusaini mkataba wa miaka minne na nusu na klabu hiyo iliyo na makao yake katika uwanja wa Old Trafford.

Mata ambaye aliichezea Chelsea, mechi 32, aliwaaga wachezaji wenzake na wakufunzi wa Chelsea katika uwanja wao wa mazoezi wa Cobham siku ya Jumatano.
Manchester United yakana fununu


Kocha wa Manchester United David Moyes

Awali kulikuwa na fununu kuwa Mata mwenye umri wa miaka ishirini na mitano, alitaka kuondoka kutoka Chelsea, baada ya kushinda kupata nafasi miongoni mwa wachezaji wa kwanza kumi na mmoja wa Chelsea, chini ya kocha wao mpya Jose Mourinho.

Siku ya Jumanne, Chelsea ilitangaza kuwa hawana nia yoyote ya kumuuza nyota wake Mata, ambaye aliteuliwa kuwa mchezaji bora wa klabu hiyo mwaka uliopita.

Lakini mchezaji huyo ambaye alikuwa kikosi cha Uhispania kilichoshinda kombe la dunia mwaka wa 2012, aliondolewa katika mechi tisa kati ya kumi na tatu alizocheza za ligi kuu ya premier msimu huu, hali iliyozua fununu kuwa huenda akauzwa mwezi huu wa Januari.

Kwingineko klabu ya Cardif inatarajia kumsaini mchezaji wa Manchester United Wilfred Saha kwa mkopo hadi mwisho wa msimu huu.

Zaha mwenye umri wa miaka ishirini na moja alifanyiwa uchunguzi wa matibabu siku ya Jumatano na Cardiff inataka kukamilisha usajili huo kabla ya mechi yao ya raundi ya nne ya kuwania kombe la FA dhidi ya Bolton.

Sharon atakumbukwa na wengi kama adui wa wapalestina

Maelfu ya watu nchini Israel wamekuwa wakitoa heshima zao za mwisho kwa hayati Ariel Sharon kabla ya mazishi yake hii leo.

Jeneza la Sharon liliwekwa nje ya majengo ya bunge mjini Jerusalem jana Jumapili huku waombolezaji wakimiminika kumtolea heshima za mwisho kabla ya maziko.

Sharon alifariki akiwa na umri wa miaka 85 baada ya kuwa hali mahututi kwa miaka 8, akitumia mashine kupumua

Atafanyiwa ibada maalum ya kitaifa leo kabla ya kuzikwa karibu na shamba lake eneo la Sderot.

Waisreli pamoja na viongozi wa dunia, wametoa heshima zao za mwisho , lakini wale ambao wanaweza kusema hawajaguswa sana na kifo cha Sharon ni wapalestina.

Mwili wa Sharon ulifikishwa katika bunge la taifa Jumapili ambapo watu waliruhusiwa kuutizama siku nzima.

Maombi yalifanywa huku bendera zikipepea nusu mlingoti.

Watu waliendelea kumiminika nje ya jengo hilo wengine wakiwasha mishumaa katika hatua ya kumuenzi Sharon.

Sharon anakumbukwa na wengi kwa siasa zake na harakati zake dhidi ya wapalestina wakati akiwa mwanajeshi. Aliidhinisha ujenzi wa makazi ya walowezi katika eneo la Palestina na pia baadaye tume ya uchunguzi ilimpata na hatia ya kukosa kuzuia mauaji ya wapalestina yaliyofanywa na wakristo wa Phalangist baada ya Iisrael kuvamia Lebanon.

WANDAMANAJI BANGKOK 'KUTIMUA' SERIKALI

Wananchi wanataka kumuondoa mamlakani Waziri mkuu Yingluck Shinawatra

Waandamanaji nchini Thailand wameanza kuweka vizuizi barabarani katika baadhi ya maeneo ya mji mkuu Bangkok, katika harakati za kuiangusha serikali kabla ya kufanyika kwa uchaguzi wa Februari Pili mwaka huu.

Waandamanaji hao wanaweka vizuizi na kudhibiti makutano ya barabara muhimu mjini humo.

Serikali imesambaza polisi na askari 18,000 ili kulinda hali ya utulivu.

Waandamanji hao ambao walianza kampeni yao mwezi Novemba mwaka jana, wanataka kuiondoa serikali ya waziri mkuu Yingluck Shinawatra na kuliweka "baraza la wananchi" lisilochaguliwa.

Wanasema Bi Yingluck ni wakala wa kaka yake, waziri mkuu wa zamani wa Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra, ambaye aliondolewa madarakani na jeshi mwaka 2006 na kwa sasa anaishi uhamishoni.

Waandamanaji wanashutumu sera za vyama washirika wa Thaksin, kwamba zimeharibu demokrasia nchini humo.

Vyama washirika wa Thaksin vinaungwa mkono kwa kiasi kikubwa na wapiga kura kutoka maeneo ya vijijini na vimeshinda mara nne katika uchaguzi uliopita. Chama kikuu cha upinzani kwa sasa kinagomea uchaguzi wa Februari Pili.

Jumapili usiku, mtu mwenye silaha ambaye hakutambulika aliwashambulia waandamanaji katika eneo la maandamano, na kumuua mtu mmoja.

Polisi wanasema mtu huyo mwenye silaha pia alifyatua risasi kuelekea katika makao makuu ya chama cha upinzani, japo hakuna taarifa za vifo.

SIMPOSON AMLALAMIKIA MKUFUNZI WAKE

Jan 9, 2014 Category : 0




Sherone Simpson mwanariadha kutoka Jamaica

Mwanariadha wa michuano ya Olimpiki wa Jamaica Sherone Simpson ameliambia jopo la nidhamu la nchi hiyo, Jumanne kwamba si mtumiaji wa dawa za kuongeza nguvu mwilini wakati wa michezo na kamwe hajawahi kudhamiria kutumia dawa ambazo zimepigwa marufuku michezoni.

Mshindi huyo wa medali ya Fedha katika mbio za mita 400 katika michezo ya Olimpiki iliyofanyika London amelalamikia dawa alizopewa na mkufunzi wake Christopher Xuereb,
kuwa ni sababu ya yeye kuonekana kuwa anatumia dawa za kusisimua misuli baada ya kuchukuliwa vipimo.

Simpson, mwenye umri wa miaka 29: "Hakuna nilichosoma kinachoonyesha kuwepo kwa tukio baya."

Alikuwa mmoja wa wanariadha watano wa Jamaica waliochukuliwa vipimo na kuonyesha wanatumia dawa zilizopigwa marufuku michezoni katika ubingwa wa taifa mjini Kingston mwezi Juni mwaka 2013.

Asafa Powell mwanariadha wa Jamaica

Simpson na mwanariadha mwenzake, ambaye ni bingwa wa zamani wa dunia wa mbio za mita 100 Asafa Powell, walibainika kutumia dawa ya oxilofrine, inayosisimua misuli.

Sherone Simpson ni nani?

•Mwanariadha wa Jamaica. Alizaliwa Agosti 1984
•Alishinda medali ya dhahabu katika mbio za mita 400 kupokezana vijiti katika michezo ya Olimpiki ya Athens ya mwaka 2004
•Mshindi wa medali ya fedha katika mita 100 katika michuano ya Olimpiki ya Beijing mwaka 2008 na mshindi pia wa medali ya fedha katika mbio za mita 400 katika michezo ya Olimpiki ya London mwaka 2012.
•Vipimo alivyofanyiwa vilionyesha ametumia dawa ya oxilofrine iliyopigwa marufuku michezoni wakati wa mashindano ya kitaifa ya riadha nchini Jamaica mwezi Juni 2013.
•Mkimbiaji mwenzake Asafa Powell naye alibainika kutumia dawa hizo wakati wa mashindano hayo.

Warusha kisahani Allison Randall na Travis Smikle, pamoja na mwanariadha mchanga, pia walibainika kutumia dawa zilizopigwa marufuku michezoni katika mashindano hayo.

Simpson amedai kuwa moja kati ya aina sita ya virutubisho alivyopewa na mkufunzi wake Xuereb kimehusika katika matokeo hayo ya kusikitisha kwake na amesema ametafiti na kugundua kuwa kirutubisho aina ya "Epiphany D1'' ndicho kilichotoa matokeo hayo.

Hata hivyo Xuereb amekana kuwapatia Simpson na Powell aina yoyote ya virutubisho vilivyopigwa marufuku isipokuwa alinunua virutubisho vya vitamin vinavyoruhusiwa.

Amedai kuwa wanariadha hao wawili wanatafuta mtu wa kumtwisha mzigo wa tatizo lao.

Al SHABAAB YAHARAMISHA INTERNET.

Shabaa limetoa makataa ya siku kumi na tano kwa wanaotoa huduma za internet kuzifunga

Wanamgambo wa Al Shabaab wenye uhusiano na Al-Qaeda, wamesema kuwa wamepiga marufuku raia wanaoishi katika maeneo wanayodhibiti kutumia internet.

Wapiganaji hao wametoa makataa ya siku 15 kwa kampuni zote zinazotoa huduma ya internet kufunga biashara zao.

"kampuni yoyote au mtu yeyote atakayepatikana akipuuza onyo hilo atajulikana kama mtu anayewafanyia kazi maadui zetu, na ataadhibiwa kulingana na sheria za ziisilamu,'' ilisema taarifa ya kundi hilo ambayo ilitumwa kwenye mitandao yake.

Wanamgambo hao hutumia sheria kali za kiisilamu katika maeneo wanayotawala na kuwakamata watu mara kwa mara kwa tuhuma za kufanya ujasusi.

Internet hutumiwa sana nchini Somalia, taifa ambalo limekumbwa na vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe kwa zaidi ya miongo miwili, huku kundi hilo likionekana kuwa kikwazo kikubwa kwa amani.

Kundi la al Shabaab zamani lilikuwa likitawala katika sehemu kubwa za Kusini mwa Somalia na Kati, lakini likaondoa wapiganaji wake baada ya kushindwa na wanajeshi wa Muungano wa Afrika wanaopambana nao.

Majeshi ya Afrika ikiwemo wanajeshi kutoka Uganda, Burundi na Kenya, tangu hapo wamedhibiti sehemu kadhaa kutoka kwa wapiganaji hao.

Lakini mashambulizi ya kuvizia yanayofanywa na kundi hilo dhidi ya maslahi ya majeshi ya serikali na yale ya kigeni, yameondoa matumaini ya kunusuru taifa hilo kutokana na vita vya miaka mingi.

HUYU NDOYE MWANAMKE ANAESADIKIKA KUWA NA NYWELE NDEFU ZAIDI DUNIANI.
