Kumbe Mimi Nilikuwa Miss Tanzania Mwaka 1967!
Wadau, leo nimeamka asubuhi na kuanguka vicheko! Eti mimi ni Theresa Shayo yule aliyeshinda Miss Tanzania mwaka 1967! Naona gazeti la Rai walifanya Google search na kupata picha yangu kimakosa. LOL! Hiyo picha nilipiga mwaka 2006. Ubaya sioni walipotaja jina langu!
Wow! Somebody didn't do their research properly! Or perhaps, the person's semi-literate! Chemi must have been just a toddler or a little kiddie in 1967.
He gets paid for his work, doesn't he? Well then, if one's paid for a job, he should do it well, and that certainly includes proper research before publishing his pieces. Damn~ simple as A B C! Right? Right! Imagine, if he publishes the wrong things, involving a matter of mistaken identity culminating in life or death! Journalism is not a joke! There are ETHICS involved...
Better they mistook me for a dead Miss Tanzania then a murderer. But wow, they take anything from the internet. I think because I did a piece on this blog about Theresa Shayo, my old profile photo of the time got associated with it in Google Search. But we don't even look alike.
Indeed Chemi! Mistaken identity can be a serious matter. People need to learn how to research properly, ie pay more attention to their Google Searches. The Internet is a blessing; but can be a curse too!
Magezeti Bongo ovyo siku hizi. Hiyo ni aibu kwa gazeti la Rai.
ReplyDeleteMdau wa 1:50pm nina wasiwasi kuwa nikienda Bongo watu watasema mbona ana fanana na marehemu Theresa Shayo! Kafufuka nini?

ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. Mwandishi was stori hii Hemed Kimwanga has never been a serious journalist na ndio maana ameshindwa kumtambua Chemi Che-Mponda.
