Jumia closes shop in Tanzania 10 days after leaving Cameroon

Online retailer Jumia Technologies, has shut down its e-commerce operations in Tanzania.

This comes less than two weeks after the retailer closed shop in Cameroon on November 18.
Jumia, which has been dubbed “the Amazon of Africa,” said on Thursday it had shut its e-commerce business in Tanzania in a review of its portfolio.
“We have to focus our resources on our other markets. It is more important now than ever to put our focus and resources where they can bring the best value and help us thrive,” said Jumia in a statement.

The company said the decision to quit the market was due to unfavorable conditions on their path to achieve success.
Jumia also said it would continue to support buyers and vendors in Cameroon online through its classified portal.

Jumia, which has positioned itself as the first African tech firm to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has seen its share price plummet since a Wall Street debut in April 2019.
The firm has missed revenue estimates for the second time in three quarters, according to results announced this month.



Jumia is closing shop in markets where shopping malls are not popular, lets not imagine what will happen in markets like Kenya where the people actually go to malls.

How desperate women denied abortions in Kenya are using COCA-COLA to kill their babies by feeding unwanted newborns fizzy drinks instead of milk, say human rights activists
Mothers in Kenya feed their babies Coca Cola to kill them because they're unable to get abortions, according to human rights activists.
The African country is in the grip of an infanticide 'crisis', as mothers seek ways to cope with or get rid of unwanted children.
Some have turned to using Coca Cola, ginger beer or other fizzy drinks, which they feed them instead of breast milk.
Newborns get all their nutrients from milk and, without it, can starve to death within days.
Significant numbers of babies are also left to die in rubbish dumps or rivers, later retrieved by workers as part of daily life.
Others choose backstreet abortionists who may deliver the babies early and then murder them. These procedures often have devastating or deadly consequences for the mothers, too.
The stories highlight the desperation of women who cannot afford to raise a family in a country where abortion is illegal.
Mothers in Kenya feed their babies Coca Cola to kill them because they're unable to get abortions, according to human rights activists. (Stock of a foetus)
Unsafe abortions are a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Kenya, statistics show.
However, the scale of infanticide has not been officially measured. Anecdotal stories were shared with The Telegraph.
Vincent Odhiambo, a human rights activist in Kibera, a city slum, said: 'Some women are not in a position to have a family. It is known that if you give a baby Coca-Cola, it will die.
'You can imagine giving a small baby Coca-Cola instead of breast milk – it can't last more than three days.'
WHERE IS ABORTION ILLEGAL?
Fourteen countries fall within laws which generally permit abortion under a broad range of circumstances.
Six countries — El Salvador, Malta, the Vatican, Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua — refuse abortions to women under any circumstances, even if it's to save her life.
Malta is the only country in the European Union where abortion is illegal.
In England, Scotland and Wales, you can legally have an abortion at up to 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy, in line with the Abortion Act 1967.
Women in Northern Ireland, or anywhere else where abortion care may be restricted, can legally travel to receive treatment.
Generally Australia allows abortion up to 22 weeks. It was decriminalised across the whole country this year after the last remaining state where it was illegal, New South Wales, voted to reform its laws.
Various anti-abortion laws have been in force in each state of the US since at least 1900.
Alabama’s new law bans all abortion from the time a 'woman [is] known to be pregnant' – with no exceptions.
Five states - Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana - have passed bills which prohibit abortion after about six weeks.
Florence, a government midwife, shared a series of pictures on her mobile phone of dead babies found on rubbish dumps.
One image is of a tiny girl hunched in the foetal position. Residents allege the mother had fed her Coca Cola.
Wilson Cheptoo, a rubbish sorter, reckons he alone finds 15 dead infants a year on the dump where he plies his trade. It's not unusual among his colleagues, he said.
Over a single week in May, the corpses of eight infants were pulled from the Nairobi River's waters which are bursting with rubbish.
More common than infanticide and abandonment, activists say, is backstreet abortions carried out by unqualified medics.
There is a shortfall in maternal health clinics since funding from the US has plummeted under Donald Trump administration.
In 2017, under pressure from the American 'pro-life' lobby, a 'global gag rule' meant any organisation that so much as offers as advice on abortion will be barred from American aid.
As a result, Family Health Options Kenya, just one organisation, had to eliminate free outreach services and close two clinics.
Abortion is illegal in Kenya unless a mother's health is in danger. A 14-year prison sentence threatens anyone who carries out an 'unauthorised' abortions.
In 2014, a Kenyan nurse was sentenced to death after being found guilty of carrying out an abortion on a woman who later bled to death.
This means doctors are unwilling to take the risk, amid religious and political pressures, too.
With a lack of safe, cheap and legal abortions, women are often left with no choice but to save money to pay a quack for an abortion, charities warn.
Horror stories of unethical abortions are rife - one clinic which delivered babies before killing them with a hammer blow to the head was reportedly shut down earlier this year.
The abortions are risky for the woman too - seven women die every day as a result, according to Marie Stopes International, a leading women's health charity.
As many as 350,000 Kenyan women a year will risk having an unsafe abortion and 21,000 women a year are admitted to hospital as a result.
An anonymous doctors recalled turning away a six-month pregnant woman, telling her it was too late to perform an abortion and offering counselling instead.
Later that night, as the doctor was closing the clinic, the woman returned, covered in blood.
'Someone had torn open her womb,' the doctor told The Telegraph. 'Everything was pouring out. Her gut was spilling out.
'I got her into theatre but her intestines were perforated and her womb chopped up. We transfused seven pints of blood, but she passed away six hours later.'
For those who cannot raise the sum for a backstreet abortion at all, a small minority will give birth to their child and are driven to murder.
Activists have urged for a change in law to allow for safer abortions, as well as better sex education, to stop infanticide and unsafe abortions from rising.
A Coca-Cola spokesperson said: 'The recent reports of newborn deaths in Kenya are deeply distressing and our deepest sympathies go out to the women and children who face such desperate situations.
'We know soft drinks are safe and can be enjoyed by many people around the world. However, it is widely recognized that milk is all that newborns need.'

'We are not wildlife': Kibera residents slam poverty tourism

Tourism in Nairobi slum is rising but many residents are angry at becoming an attraction for wealthy foreign visitors.

Kenya mudslides: Tens of thousands displaced in floods
2 days ago

Kibera, Kenya - Sylestine Awino rests on her faded brown couch, covering herself with a striped green shuka, a traditional Maasai fabric.

It's exactly past noon in a noisy neighbourhood at the heart of Kibera, Kenya's largest slum, and the 34-year-old has just finished her daily chores.

Directly opposite Awino, her two daughters are busy studying for an upcoming math exam.

The family will not have lunch today.

"We don't afford the luxury of having two consecutive meals," says Awino, a mother of three. "We took breakfast, meaning we will skip lunch and see if we can afford dinner ".

Up until five years ago, Awino made a living selling fresh food in Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city. There, she interacted with tourists who came to enjoy the sandy beaches of the Indian Ocean.

But in 2013, she decided to move to Kibera, in the capital, Nairobi, aiming for new opportunities - only to meet camera-toting tourists again, this time eager to explore the crowded slum where many are unable to afford basic needs.

"This was strange. I used to see families from Europe and the United States flying to Mombasa to enjoy our oceans and beaches," says Awino, who is now a housewife - her husband, a truck driver, provides for the family.

"Seeing the same tourists manoeuvring this dusty neighbourhood to see how we survive was shocking," she adds.

Awino recalls one incident a few months ago when a group of tourists approached her, with one of them trying to take a picture of her.

"I felt like an object," she says. "I wanted to yell at them, but I was afraid of the tour guides accompanying them".
Some residents say tourism in Kibera is morally wrong, while others are taking advantage of the trend by becoming tour guides [Osman Mohamed Osman/Al Jazeera]

Kibera has seen a sudden rise of tourists over the past decade, with a number of companies offering guided tours showcasing how its residents live.
The slum faces high unemployment and poor sanitation, making living conditions dire for its residents.

According to Kenya's 2009 census, Kibera is home to about 170,000 people. Other sources, however, estimate its population to be up to two million people.


Because of the high population, housing is inadequate. Many residents are living in tiny, 12ft by 12ft shack rooms, built in some cases with mud walls, a ridged roof and dirt floor. The small structures house up to eight people, with many sleeping on the floor.

Last week, thousands of families were left homeless after the government demolished homes, schools and churches to pave way for a road expansion.

Strolling through the dusty pathways sandwiched by the thin iron-sheet-walled houses, Musa Hussein is angry to see the growing popularity of the guided tours.

"Kibera is not a national park and we are not wildlife," says the 67-year-old, who was born and raised here.

"The only reason why these tours exist is because [a] few people are making money out of it," he adds.

The trade of showing a handful of wealthy people how the poor are living, Hussein argues, is morally wrong and tour companies should stop offering this service.


Kibera Tours is one of the several companies that have been set up to meet the demand.

"The idea behind it was to simply show the positive side of Kibera and promote unique projects around the slums," he says. "By doing this, we created employment for ourselves and the youth around us".


"I have to impress them because tourists recommend to each other," he says.

For three years, Ouma has been spending most of his weekends acting as a tour guide for hundreds of visitors.

"They enjoy seeing this place, which makes me want to do more. But some locals do not like it all," he says, adding that he often has to calm down protesting residents.

Ouma earns $4 for every tour.

"This is my side hustle because it generates some extra cash for my survival," he says. "I used my earnings to start a business of hawking boiled eggs".

What would happen to an African like me in Europe or America, touring and taking photos of their poor citizens?

Sylestine Awino, Kibera resident

One of the Danish tourists is 46-year-old Lotte Rasmussen, a Nairobi resident who has toured Kibera more than 30 times, often with friends who visit from abroad.

"I bring friends to see how people live here. The people might not have money like us, but they are happy and that's why I keep on coming," she says, carefully bending down to take an image of a smiling Kibera toddler.

The tour includes stops at sites where visitors can buy locally-made craftwork, including ornaments and traditional clothing.

"We support local initiatives like children's homes and women's groups hence I do not see a problem with ethical issues," says Rasmussen.

But Awino remains adamant.

She maintains that it is morally unfair that tourists keep on coming to the place she calls home.

"Think of the vice versa," she says, "What would happen to an African like me in Europe or America, touring and taking photos of their poor citizens?"

'Girls are forced to have sex in exchange for sanitary pads or 50 cents'
Young female activists are working to improve people’s lives in the largest urban slum in Africa, Kibera.


KENYA IS A country of extremes.

It has the largest economy in East Africa, yet almost half of the population live below the poverty line.

Some Members of Parliament take home €6,000 a month before generous allowances, which could more than double their salary, are applied.

The average monthly salary is about €130.

Nairobi, the bustling capital city, is the home of many multinational corporations’ African headquarters. Nairobi is also home to the largest urban slum in Africa: Kibera.

In the final of our three-part series exploring women’s rights issues in Kenya, TheJournal.ie recently travelled to Kibera.

Hundreds of thousands of people – or up to one million people, depending on various estimates – live there. One of them is Hamza Mariam (18).


They are activists who spread awareness about women’s rights and mentor females who, like them, have experienced violence at the hands of a partner.

Both women, like others we meet, tell us that transactional sex is common in Kibera. They haven’t engaged in it themselves but understand why some girls and women fall into this trap.

Many people in Kibera live in extreme poverty and struggle to feed themselves or their children. Essentially, they do what they have to to survive. Sanitary pads cost about 50 cents, and women and girls often can’t afford to pay this so go without them (using cloth or tissue) or resort to extreme measures to get them.

Cynthia says she is aware of girls as young as 13 who have engaged in prostitution, receiving less than 50 cents for having sex with a man. She says the girls’ parents are sometimes the ones who set it up.

Their parents might sell a local brew as their living. So a customer who is a drunk might talk to the mum and say they want the girl. The mum knows that she will get a tip, so she gives you free to the guy – she may be given 50 shillings (less than 50 cents) or $2 at most.

Cynthia says some girls feel they “don’t have a better alternative” than to engage in prostitution or marry young so they are no longer a financial burden on their family. Many people cannot afford school fees so the dropout rate is high; unemployment is also rife in the area.

“Some girls look for a guy who is able to buy them things, like a packet of pads to meet their basic needs … they just have so little money,” Cynthia explains.

Poor Kenyans Rent Out Wives, Children To Tourists


TRADE: A young Kenyan girl taking care of an elderly tourist at the Kenyan Coast. Image: COURTESY

Some desperate Kenyans are hiring out their wives and daughters to foreign tourists in order to make ends meet.

Men who are in the habit of renting out their wives claim that it is unwise to make other women rich while their own wives are starving at home.


One such “love-vendor”, Kamau described how he ended up renting out his wife after a German tourist had asked for a lady to keep him company during his holiday in Kenya. After making a pitch for his wife to the German, Kamau said he went to his wife to make the proposal:

Honey, the man is German. I will take you tomorrow to him. All I need you to do is act like my sister avoid raising any suspicion and satisfy him fully. Once he pays you, we will need that money to pay school fees for our two children.

The woman reportedly earns Sh40,000 monthly from the trade and Kamau told The Star that at one point his wife was away for two weeks with an Australian man.

An official who heads child rights organization Trace Kenya, said 13,000 minors engage in s_x tourism in the coastal counties annually.

From the office of the president....

""On Friday, 29th November, 2019, I cut the sod for the construction of the $993 million Pwalugu Multipurpose Dam and Irrigation Project, which, upon completion, will be the single, largest investment ever made by any Government in the Northern sector of the country. It is in fulfillment of a pledge tmade to the Ghanaian people.

The Pwalugu Multipurpose project will consist of three main components, namely the construction of a 60 megawatt hydropower plant; a 50 megawatt solar farm; and the establishment of an irrigation scheme covering an area of some twenty-five thousand (25,000) hectares.

I was also at Pusunamungu, in the Upper East Region, where I cut the sod for the construction of the Rock Estates affordable housing project, being undertaken by the State Housing Company.

Is logobenz a.k.a problem kid your brother ?

vaxx2:
water can overwhelmed any drainage infrastructure be it flat or rough? . coastal city are likely more prone cus it is easier for water to be overflown while inland cities are also prone to this as well but not as coastal city ..... the gap diffrence is likely 80 to 20 in a well developed city .

The terrain matters..cities built on hilly areas rarely flood unless they built on riparian areas
