 TANZANIAN DRUG MULES

Below is one drug mule story, the story of mules from Tanzania entering Hong Kong. Because of its location on the East coast of Africa, Tanzania is the favorite launching place for drug lords to mission their mules. The drugs they carry are mainly from Pakistan and Afghanistan....taken by boat to Tanzania ....meeting small boats along Tanzania's long coastline

In Hong Kong there are currently about 200 inmates from Tanzania. About 130 convicted and about 70 on remand (...unofficial figures..). In May-June 2013, some 50 Tanzanians were arrested in Hong Kong and China

Those convicted serve a minimum time of about 9 years if they plead guilty. They serve 21 years if they don't plead guilty (but drugs are found in their possession)

The story of these Tanzanian mules entering Hong Kong is typical of what happens around the world. Hopefully this story will be seen by many people in Africa, especially in Tanzania, and will discourage others from becoming mules. If this article stops even one person from being a mule, it is worthwhile

Here is the story, written in Swahili by a Hong Kong Tanzanian inmate, translated into English by another inmate. The story names and shames some very important people in Tanzania, including:

Iddi Azan, a leading politician who has his own blogspot, a Facebook account, and many other items when you put "iddi azzan" into www.google.com

Wanaume wa KiTanzania Wakamatwa na Unga Hong Kong!

Jamani, WaTanzania kwa kutafuta pesa za haraka! Sasa hao midume miwili inaweza kunfungwa maisha huko Hong Kong shauri ya kukamtwa na Unga! Mnachafua jina la Taifa yetu na kusabisha wasafiri wenzio kupata shida zisizo na maana safirini!

Asante sana Dada Subi kwa Taarifa hii:

Hong Kong Customs yesterday (July 25) detected three drug trafficking cases, with seizures totally valued at $4.78 million, in the department's escalated anti-narcotics efforts to combat drugs.

Customs officers at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) intercepted a 26-year-old incoming male passenger arriving from Tanzania for clearance yesterday afternoon and seized 1.6 kilogrammes of heroin concealed in two false compartments of his hand carry briefcase. The drugs would fetch a value of about $1.28 million.

Later in the evening, Customs officers at the HKIA intercepted another 45-year-old man from Tanzania for clearance. On suspicion of concealment of drugs inside his body, the suspect was escorted to hospital where he discharged 204 grammes of heroin after staying for one day. The value of the drugs was about $0.16 million. The suspect is still in the hospital.

In the same evening, Customs officers intercepted a 28-year-old man at a carpark in Tai Kok Tsui. Approximately 2.03 kg of cocaine camouflaged as snacks were found inside a plastic bag carried by him.

Customs officers later escorted the suspect to a domestic flat nearby for a search and seized 1 kg of cocaine and 290 grammes of crack cocaine there. The total value of the seizure was about $3.34 million.

A Customs spokesperson said today (July 26) that all three suspects in the three cases were arrested for drug trafficking. The cases are still under investigation.

Under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, drug trafficking is a serious offence. The maximum penalty is life imprisonment and a fine of $5 million.

Nyumba ya Mugabe huko Hong Kong

Wakati waZimbabwe wanakufa kutokana na njaa kukosa maji safi na magonjwa kama kipindupindu kuna habari kuwa familia ya Rais Mugabe wanaishi maisha ya kifahari huko Hong Kong! Asante Mdau Born Again Pagan kwa kuleta habari hizi.

Habari za Reuters zilizoandikwa kutoka London zinaeleza kuwa jumba hilo hapo JC Castle, kasikazini ya Tai Po District, mjini Hong Kong, limenunuliwa kwa $ milioni tano na Rais Robert Mugabe wa Zimbabwe. Inasemekana kuwa kuwa ni mojawapo ya majumba ya Rais Mugabe huko Asia ya Mbali. Bintiye, mwenye umri wa miaka 20, anasoma Chuo Kikuu cha Hong Kong, na mkewe amekuwa akifanya safari za “shopping” ile mbaya huko Hong Kong na Bangkok.
