After Will Smith, BBC makes appearance on local streets

Arusha is abuzz with top-notch, world class showbiz activities and several parts of the “Little Big  Town’ have  turned into a Hollywood of some sort.

Highly rated actors, performing under the auspices of the British Broadcasting Corporation are camping at The  Arusha  Hotel  to spearhead the success of a  situation comedy  (Sitcom) to be broadcast  worldwide  under the name of “Taking the Flak”.

But the crew and what they  intend to  do in Arusha became talk of the town only after  Will Smith, an American actor and rapper who has enjoyed success in three major entertainment media in the United States and described by the Newsweek as the most powerful actor on the planet,  had  left the hotel and Arusha  last weekend.  He was in the country  as UNICEF goodwill ambassador. He visited some health projects.

Residents of Mwanga District in Kilimanjaro region are crying. One of their major sources of income is shrinking away. Lake Jipe faces more demise now than it ever did. 

Water hyacinths apparently are the latest addition to the various environmental factors that continue to eat up more parts of Lake Jipe, in Kilimanjaro region reducing both the size and the number of endangered  Tilapia fish species. 

Lake Jipe, is a freshwater lake located in the boarder between Kenya and Tanzania, and the only home for the entire world population of the native Tilapia fish, known zoologically as, Oreochromis jipe.
