MFUGAJI mkazi wa Halmashauri ya Wilaya ya Chunya mkoani Mbeya ameamua kuanzisha mbinu mpya itakayo saidia watoto wa halmashauri hiyo kwenda shule na kuachana na kazi za uchungaji Ng'ombe na uchimbaji wa madini.

Akizungumza na 'A 5w and H blog,' wilayani Chunya mfugaji huyo na mkulima, Elias Mwembe, alisema kuwa ili kuwanusuru watoto wao na wimbi la  mifugo badala ya watoto kufanya kazi hiyo.

Alifafanua kuwa idadi kubwa ya wazazi Wilayani humo wanashindwa kuwaandikisha watoto  wao kuanza masomo shuleni kutokana na sababu  mbili kuwa ni uchimbaji wa dhahabu na kuchunga mifugo.

Mwembeh alisema baada ya kugundua hayo aliamua yeye awe mfano wa kuigwa kwa wafugaji wengine ambapo amebuni mbinu mpya ya Mbwa kuchunga ng'ombe badala ya binadamu kuendelea kufanya shughuli hizo na kushindwa kufanya kazi zingine za kiuchumi.

Alisema yeye binafsi amefuga mbwa wasiopungua 100 ambao amewagawa katika makundi matatu kulingana na makundi ya ng'ombe 1,000, kazi ya mbwa hao ni kuwachunga ng'ombe kwenye maeneo ya malisho ambapo ana zaidi ya miaka minne tangu mbinu hiyo ianze kutumika.

Alifafanua kuwa nguvu kazi ya binadamu inayotumika kwenye mifugo hiyo kwa sasa ni ndogo kutokana na kwamba nguvu inayotumika ni kuiongoza mifugo kwenda kwenye malisho majira ya saa moja asubuhi na ikifika saa tano wanaifuata na kuirudisha nyumbani kwa ajili ya kukamua maziwa na lishe ya ndama.

Mfugaji huyo alieleza kuwa baada ya kukamua mifugo hiyo inaongozwa tena kwenda malisho kisha kuachwa ikilindwa na mbwa hadi saa 11 za jioni muda wa kurejeshwa nyumbani.

Alisema wafugaji kama wataiga mbinu hiyo itatoa fursa kwa watoto wa jamii hiyo kuhudhuria masomo badala ya kutumikishwa kwenye mifugo  na kupoteza vipaji vyao ambavyo vimejificha na kudhoofishwa kwa tamaduni dume ambazo alizitaja kuwa kwa sasa zimepitwa na wakati.

Akizungumzia kuhusu mafanikio ya mpango huo alisema anahakikisha mbwa wanapata chakula cha kutosha mara mbili kwa kila siku na hadi sasa wamesha zoea muda wa chakula na majukumu yao wakiwa kwenye malisho.

''Chakula cha mbwa kinaandaliwa na wake zangu mara mbili kwa siku, nashukuru Mungu kwamba mbwa wamekuwa wakifanya kazi vizuri kwa sababu sijawahi kupata malalamiko kutoka kwa wakulima kwamba mifugo yangu imeingia katika mazao, haijawahi kutokea na hilo ndilo insipayer me kwamba kumbe inawezekana''. Alisema

Mfugaji huyo amejitolea kujenga josho la mifugo ambalo limekuwa msaada kwa wafugaji wa maeneo mbalimbali hasa kwenye kanda ya Mlimanjiwa, wafugaji hao wanachangia kiasi cha Shilingi 150 kwa kila ng'ombe mmoja gharama ambazo ni ndogo ikilinganishwa na majosho mengine ambayo wafugaji hutozwa Shilingi 500 kila ng'ombe mmoja.

"Nimefanya hivyo ili kuwasaidia wafugaji wenzangu na nilitaka kusiwe na gharama yoyote ila nimelazimika kwa ajili ya kuchangia gharama za dawa". Alisema

Mwembe alisema anaungana na Serikali kukemea vitendo vya wazazi kuwaruhusu watoto kujihusisha na shughuli za uchimbaji wa madini badala ya kuthamini elimu ambayo ndiyo msingi wa maendeleo taifa.

"Kama ingewezekana natamani ningerudi utoto ili nisome kwa bidii niweze kulitumikia taifa kikamilifu lakini bahati mbaya umri umenitupa mkono hivyo sina budi kubuni mipango inayoweza kuinufaisha jamii na taifa kwa ujumla,"  alisema Mwembe

Vilevile, aliwataka vijana kuzitumia fursa zao kwa shughuli za kujiendeleza kielimu, ufugaji na kilimo ili kujikwamua kiuchumi badala ya kubobea kwenye uchimbaji wa madini ambao kwa sasa ni ghari pia unahitaji kisomo na vitendea kazi vya kisasa ili kulinda mazingira lakini pia kupata faida.
