IFNA ranked Tanzania seeks qualified netball coach
With no delay to the offer, already the Tanzania Amateur Netball Association (Chaneta), has posted an advertisement in the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA) website for qualified coaches worldwide to vie for the post.
An official with Chaneta, Joel Mwakitalu, said yesterday that after the president replied their request through the ministry responsible for sports, the scouting is now going on and they expect for many coaches to apply as the deadline expires on February 6.
Mwakitalu said England, New Zealand, Australia and Africa?s top ranked Malawi, are the major targets for the recruitment.
Chaneta is looking for a national coach with level two or higher from any country with ability to develop the popularity, profile and playing standard of netball in the country.
Salary and benefits for post in include a salary ? between $3,500 ? $5,000 per month, depending on the qualifications, experience, track record and motivation.
The coach to be recruited will focus on the development of the national programme with specific emphasis on the progress of the national team.
Kikwete who is an ardent sports fan and a former patron of the country?s governing basketball body, BATA, before being transformed into Tanzania Basketball Federation (TBF), did similar gesture to football, boxing and athletics.
The football saw the coming of Brazilian Marcio Maximo, whose contract expires this July, while Adres Edwardo Baro and Jorge Luis Bravo Rojas, were recruited as in charge of athletics, while Georvanis Hurtado Pimentel has been assigned to train the boxing team.
Jose Valdes Silva took over as the judo national team head coach.
The aim of recruiting coaches was to enable Tanzania perform well in major international competitions following dismal shows in the yester-years? events.
For netball, after being promoted to the world rankings, the main focus now is for the 2011 Netball World Cup.
Initially, Tanzania was among countries expected to field a team in the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India, but failed to qualify despite being promoted by the world?s governing netball body, IFNA.
However, the urgent need for the country is to qualify for the next year?s World Championship to be hosted by Singapore in July
Tanzania is now ranked 22nd in the world and 4th in Africa aims to be among the top 15 netball teams in the world by year 2012.

Survival test: Tanzania’s rare toads get 2nd chance in US
This is a story about a waterfall, the World Bank and 4,000 homeless toads. Maybe the story will have a happy ending, and the bright-golden spray toads, each so small it could easily sit on a dime, will return to the African gorge where they once lived, in the spray of a waterfall on the Kihansi River in Tanzania.
The river is dammed now, courtesy of the bank. The waterfall is 10 per cent of what it was. And the toads are now extinct in the wild. But 4,000 of them live in the Bronx and Toledo, Ohio, where scientists at the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Toledo Zoo are keeping them alive in hopes of returning them to the wild.
Meanwhile, though, the toads embody the conflict between conservation and economic development, their story also raises questions about how much effort should go to save one species. These issues are pressing for frogs and toads, whose populations are plunging. Jennifer B Pramuk, curator at Bronx Zoo said at least 120 species vanished in recent years.

Tanzania posts record earnings from tourism
Maige told the ongoing parliamentary session in Dodoma, central Tanzania the inc rease in earnings matched with the number of tourist arrivals that went up from 6 12,756 to 770,376 over the same period.
He said 42,000 of the holiday-makers resorted to the region of Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro.
According to the minister, the government made deliberate efforts to beef up the financial capacity of the Tanzania Tourism Board (TTB) to advertise local attra c tions internationally.
Meanwhile, Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), the official arm for mana gement of game reserves, would allocate 23 new investment locations for construc t ion of lodges and hotels under a five-year development plan.
In addition, Maige said the authority intended to raise the number of beds for v isitors to parks up to 1,333 by the end of this year, compared to 500 beds in 20 0 5.

ALBINO KILLINGS: Obama asked to put pressure on Kikwete
Mr Gerald Connolly, who is a member of Mr Obama's Democratic Party, has filed a statement in the United States House of Representatives, seeking support to compel the President and the State Department to act.
His move follows his meeting in the United States with Ms Mariamu Stanford, the Tanzanian woman, who was brutally attacked in Mwanza in 2008, losing both arms. Her plight has seen her become the human face of the campaign against the barbarism by some superstitious people.
The American politician is using the opportunity to raise international attention on the menace in Tanzania, in which over 50 albinos have been killed in the last four years in an orgy fuelled by witchcraft-related beliefs. Some 28 albinos were slaughtered in 2008 alone, according to official government figures.
The Congressman says in a statement he filed last month that Tanzania must stop the crimes against humanity and step up education to dispel the myth that the body parts of albinos have supernatural properties that can make people wealthy overnight or enable fishermen to catch more fish.
He wants official recognition of the plight of people with albinism in East Africa, condemnation of their murder and mutilation, and efforts to bring "the heinous and misguided behaviour against defenseless women and children" to end.
Even though the impact of the expected resolutions might not be made public or bear immediate results, it is generally believed that if adopted, the US Government will have to consider this in its relations with Tanzania.
During his visit to Tanzania late last year, the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Ban Ki-moon, decried the killings and urged the government to move swiftly to arrest the situation.
The members of the European Union have also adopted a special resolution to condemn the murders and demand action from Tanzania and Burundi, the two most affected countries in the region.
Yesterday, asked to comment on Mr Connolly?s statement, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, Mr Seif Ali Iddi, said the government had not been made aware of its outcome.
Mr Connolly, who is serving his first term in the Congress, is from Virginia?s 11th District, which encompasses Fairfax County, Prince William County, and Fairfax City in Northern Virginia.
He also serves on the House Budget Committee, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
After his meeting with the Tanzanian survivor, Mr Connolly said he had been saddened to learn that though Mariamu had identified her attackers, they had not yet been arrested and charged with the offence.
During her stay in the US, Mariamu and fellow albinos from Northern Virginia met with Mr Connolly, who pledged to introduce a House Resolution, condemning the attacks on people with albinism in East Africa, and to work with American and Tanzanian government officials to stop the killings.
Mariamu travelled to the US last December for two weeks and was fitted with artificial arms donated by Mr Elliot Weintrob of Orthotic Prosthetic Centre in Fairfax, Virginia, and she also underwent intensive physical therapy.
She also met Ms Susan DuBois, who has since formed an organisation in her name and dedicated it to ending the slaughter of people with albinism in East Africa.
The "Asante Mariam" organisation launched in Virginia last week will campaign to increase awareness of the immediate and long-term threats to albinos East Africa.
"As a mother of two children with albinism, I was deeply shaken when I first heard about the killings in Tanzania," said Ms DuBois, the founder and executive director of "Asante Mariamu."
In his statement, a copy of which was made available to The Citizen, Mr Connolly says that not only do people with albinism face violence in parts of the world, but they also are at a higher risk of medical complications, such as skin cancer and poor vision due to the lower melanin levels in their skins.
He said few schools in East Africa had the resources to provide for the needs of children with albinism.
Mr Connolly added: "Tanzanian Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda has condemned the violent crimes against people with albinism, but judicial and enforcement barriers remain."
In his New Year's address to the nation, President Jakaya Kikwete said the nation that the government would step up efforts to stamp out the albino killings.
Last year, he added, there were seven albino killings compared to 27 in 2008, during which more than 30 attacks were reported. "These are still too many to bear, not a single albino is worth death for his skin," Mr Kikwete said.
He said that information obtained through a national campaign to expose the killers in a secret ballot was helping security personnel to pursue the culprits.
Courts in Kahama and Shinyanga last year convicted and sentenced seven albino killers to death. Scores of other suspects are still awaiting trials.
An albino organisation has called for hanging in public of those sentenced to death to demonstrate the government''s seriousness and deter others. However, human rights bodies have oppose the death sentence, which they denounced as outdated, declaring that it would not solve the problem.
