WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Dar Es Salaam – PRICES for staple food in some parts of Dar es Salaam will remain stable during the Easter holiday, thanks to a soaring supply of food stuffs at the markets.
The prices did not mostly go up like in any other festive season because Dar es Salaam has been currently witnessing a large supply of staple foods and other food stuffs from upcountry.
According to a random survey made by the ‘Daily News’ at three major markets in Dar es Salaam showed that prices for rice, meat, spices and other commodities had remained stable.
By today at Mwananyamala market the price for rice remained 1,300/-, 1,200/- and 1,000/- for the high grade medium and low grades of rice respectively.
Some traders interviewed by this paper attributed last month’s slight drop in food prices to the rains the country experienced in the months of January and February.
The price for meat remained stable in Mwananyamala where a kilo of meat was by yesterday selling at 4,000/- per kilogramme, while the price of a local chicken was varying from 9,000/- to 15 thousand depending on the size of the chicken.
At Kisutu market, the price of rice was a bit higher than at Mwananyamala market, where a kilo of grade one rice from Kyela district in Mbeya region was selling at 1,700/- and 1500/- for medium and 1300/- for lower grades.
Commenting on the different prices, a trader at the market Mr Mohamed Salehe said that prices at Mwananyamala and Kisutu do sometimes vary because of the status of the markets.
“This is a market whose buyers are mostly Indians and those who are well off and the type of food being sold here were of high quality foods hence the rise in prices,” he said.
Prices for chicken at the market ranged from 7,000/- to 10,000/- for hybrid chickens and 8,000/- to 15,000/- for a local chicken.
Meanwhile, at Kariakoo market retail prices for clothes have gone up since the beginning of this week, as parents and guardians prepare to buy new clothes for Easter.
Ms Pili Mangala said that she came last weekend to look for new clothes for her child and bought a pair of jeans at 9,000/- while her friend bought the same jeans at the same shop for 13,000/-.
