Tourist guide in the dock over Facebook clip

A Tanzanian tourist guide has been charged with breaching cybercrime legislation after he incorrectly translated a tourist's remarks in a Facebook video. Saimon Sirikwa appeared in court in the northern city of Musoma and was remanded in police custody. Sirikwa, who works for the world-famous Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania, was accused of degrading the tourism ministry. This after he ‘jokingly’ translated that the tourist wants Tanzanians to 'stop complaining about hunger’ when she actually described them as ‘fabulously wonderful’. Regional police commander Jaffari Mohammed reportedly told BBC News that there was enough evidence to prove that he had violated the country’s cyber laws.
