A LETTER TO YOUR EXCELLENCY VICE
PRESIDENT (DARUSO-MUCE)
“You are taking it too
far”, this was one
of my friend’s insight when I shared with him this piece of madness. “And if you are not careful enough, you
are about to mess it up” he added. This man assassinated my courage to post
this; but after recollecting myself and observing how serious the subject is, I
have decided to ignore my friend’s comments and I am writing this long letter
to you, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, though this may sound skeptical to most
people, but let us face it altogether. I am humbly asking you, right there you
are; please turn your eyes, to the left and the right. How do you assess the
kind of dress does the people you are leading wear? I knew that, most of us do
not like this subject, this is just unfortunate, I always say what most people
do not like, provided that, it carries some bits of certainty.
Madam vice, it is true that, a pair of trousers can be worn
by both men and women in our campus. I hold no grudge against that. However, my
irritation is to these new (of outdated?)
socks-cum-trousers! Just think of it, some teacher trainees (girls/women?) are
wearing stockings in the name of trousers; this attire tights them very well,
and you really know the kind of African girls figures! Do not ask me…
Your Excellency, do not interpret me as an out-of-date
creature who meaninglessly shout at others. There are funny men in our campus;
what is your take on teacher trainees (men/boys?) who wear their trousers in a “Lil Wayne” style? Believe me or not,
some of us (men) wears trousers, and if one is careful for a look would think
that this man is carrying stones in his pockets- the trouser is about to slip
out.
Madam President, that woman you are seeing right now… yes,
that one who wears a long dress, carefully look at her, what do you see? Her
dress is long and beautiful, but it is transparent (I am sad!). My question is that, is this dress compatible with the
teaching profession? Does (will) this teacher wear it at school (working)
premises? Or it is some sort of a fashion?
Madam Vice, I’ll wind up my discussion by mirroring
PART II, section 4.3 (vi) of the UDSM Students by laws; it stipulates that this
is an act of sexual harassment… “Unwanted
physical contact of any sort which is sexual in nature including touching of
sensitive body parts, brushing against another’s body, hair or clothes,
kissing, pinching, patting, grabbing, or cornering;” I am just irritated and shocked; how far is this
law being bleached? Who cares? I just can’t put it words but readers of this
tirade bears witness; how many times do we see colleagues kissing publicly? Is
this not breaching the law?
Your Excellency, I am
presenting this to you because you are like the mother of this large group. And
please colleagues do not take me for a gender insensitive-uneducated fellow. I
am always gender sensitive and consider every sex of genuine vitality; however,
whenever it comes to the truth, I spare none.
Your Excellency, I submit.
