    wapi kanumba the great? wapi watanzania? nafikiri hii ni changamoto kwa watengeneza filamu watanzania kuongeza standard za filamu zao. haya mambo ya watu kukurupuka na kutengeneza filamu ilimradi tu ametengeneza haifai! unakuta quality mbovu, haina tofauti na quality ya mtu aliyeamka asubuhi akachukua handycam na kurekodi mkanda wa harusi au ubatizo!

    Mchangiaji wa kwanza. "In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king". Yaani, katika nchi ya vipofu chongo huwa mfalme. Hapa TZ hatuna ma-actor wenye kujua kuigiza katika sinema. Na hii ndiyo sababu watu wanadhani eti Kanumba ni actor. Yes, Kanumba ni actor, lakini ni third rate actor. Full stop. Hatuna haja ya uzalendo uchwara. Mtu kama hawezi, hawezi basi. Hamna cha utaifa hapa. If you cultivate mediocrity you can kiss quality goodbye. Mathias.
