I came across a video on TikTok showing unprofessional police officers in Tanji. I have personally witnessed similar behaviour from them before. They act rudely towards people and try to use force unnecessarily. Their actions are excessive, and this is not how law enforcement should operate. Officers should be kind and respectful to their citizens.

Information reached us by a Native of Tanji.

Dear members of the Tanji community,

I hope this message finds you well. It has come to my attention that there is a matter of concern that we need to address as a community.

Recently, the Alkalo made a decision that has stirred up emotions among many of our Tanji youths. The decision in question involves the allocation of our beloved football field to Nawce for the construction of their offices.

This move has sparked a wave of discontentment and disappointment within our community, particularly among the Tanji youths who cherish the football field as a place of recreation, bonding, and sportsmanship. The field has been a source of joy and a gathering place for generations, where countless memories have been made.

Understandably, this decision has raised questions and concerns about the future of our community's recreational spaces and the priorities of our local leadership. It is essential for us to have open and respectful discussions about these matters, as our community's unity and well-being are at stake.

I invite all of you to share your thoughts and opinions on this situation. Your voices matter, and together, we can find a way to address this issue and work towards a solution that respects the needs and aspirations of our community.

Let us remember that our strength lies in our ability to come together, listen to each other, and find common ground. We are a close-knit community with a shared history, and we should use our unity to address challenges and make informed decisions for the betterment of Tanji.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and I look forward to hearing your perspectives on this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
