SIRI ZA MADEREVA TAXI

SIRI ZA MADEREVA TAXI
Bwana juma alikuwa anatafuta taxi ya kumpeleka mbezi beach ghafla akapata gari moja taxi iliyokuwa inaelekea mbezi beach , bwana juma alikuwa na haraka sana akamwambia Yule dereva wa taxi aendeshe gari kwa mwendo wa kasi ili wawahi kufika , walipofika lugalo wakakuta foleni kubwa dereva wa taxi ikabidi apitie njia ya kawe kuepuka foleni .

Alipopita njia hiyo kwenye kipori kidogo ulikuwa ni usiku hakuna watu kule na magari ni machache – dereva wa taxi akasimamisha gari akamtolea juma silaha akamwambia atoe vyote alivyokuwa navyo na ashuke kwenye gari , bwana juma alifanya hivyo akatoa kila kitu , pesa simu na vingine kwa kushikiwa silaha – dereva wa taxi huyoo akaenda zake mbio .

SOMO LA KWANZA LINATUFUNDISHA KUPANDA TAXI KWENYE VITUO VINAVYOTAMBULIKA AU KAMA UNACHUKUWA TOKA SEHEMU ZINGINE HAKIKISHA UNAMJUA MTU HUYO .

Siku nyingine tena bwana juma alichelewa kutoka kazini kama kawaida akaamua kuchukuwa taxi sasa sehemu ambayo anaijua pamoja na kujuana na watu kadhaa pale siku hiyo alichukuliwa na dai waka , kufika mbele ya safari akabadilishiwa kibao akachukuliwa tena pesa na mali zake .
Bwana juma akafikisha suala hili kwenye vyombo vya usalama , askari akafika pale bwana juma akaonyesha gari ambalo lilimpakia usiku huo , lakini Yule daiwaka hakwepo - mwenye gari akasema usiku huo gari yake ilikuwa imeshalazwa , wakaamua kwenda sehemu ambayo gari hiyo hulazwa .
Kufanya ukaguzi ikaonekana kweli gari ile iliandikishwa kwa ajili ya kulazwa kwenye kituo hicho ilikuwa balaa wale wenye gari nusu wamtoe juma ngeu na kudhalilisha kwa tabia yake hiyo .

WATU WENGI WANAOLAZA MAGARI HUWA WANALIPWA KUANDIKISHA MAGARI YANAYOFANYA UHALIFU USIKU – KWAHIYO GARI ILE ILIANDIKISHWA KAMA IMELALA ILA UKWELI HAIKULALA PALE NI MLINZI ALIHONGWA PESA AANDIKA GARI IMELALA KUMBE ILIENDA KUFANYA UHALIFU .

Siku nyingine bwana juma akapanda tena taxi , aliyekuwa anaendesha taxi akawaambia wenzake kwa njia ya sms kwamba amepata ngombe ( wanaoibiwa wanaitwa ngombe ) kwahiyo vijana wenzake wakae mkao wa kula .
Kweli bwana Yule dereva wa taxi akaendesha taxi mpaka kwa jamaa zake kufika pale akabadilika akawa mbogo mara akasema Yule aliyepakiwa yaani juma alikuwa anamtishia kwenye gari lake ndio maana akaamua apaki pale
Wenzake wakamsapoti wakampa kibano kidogo juma wengine wakamsachi mali na vitu vyake wakamchukulia -- kisha wakamwambia aondoke au watampeleka polisi .
