Daudi Mwangosi height - How tall is Daudi Mwangosi?

Daudi Mwangosi (ca. 1972—September 2, 2012), was a Tanzanian television journalist for private Channel Ten, whom was killed in Nyololo village, Mufindi District, Iringa Region, Tanzania, during a demonstration by supporters of Chadema, the nation's opposition party.

On 2 September 2012, Daudi Mwangosi, a Channel Ten reporter, was killed in the Nyololo village while reporting on the opening of a branch office of the Chadema (Party for Democracy and Progress), the nation's opposition political party. Reports indicate the clashes began after police ordered supporters of the opposition party, who had gathered for a rally, to disperse. When the supporters refused, this prompted police to resort to violence, since a gathering was declared illegal. During the moments leading up to Mwangosi's death, he was observing supporters of the opposition party Chadema react to dispersion. An altercation with the police occurred when police attempted to detain another journalist Godfrey Mushi, who was with the Nipashe newspaper. The police fired a tear gas canister into Mwangosi's stomach at close range. He was killed by the police officer Pasificus Saimon. Four years after the killing, Saimon was sentenced to serve fifteen years in prison.

Daudi Mwangosi started his journalism career in 2005. Mwangosi was a television journalist for Channel Ten, which is a private television station. In 2011 he was elected chairman of the Iringa Press Club in the southern city of Iringa.

Although Daudi Mwangosi's death was the first journalism work-related fatality documented by Committee to Protect Journalists in Tanzania since 1992, he was the second person to die in the conflicts between Tanzania's police force and the opposition Chadema party, and his killing was the first of several attacks on journalists and the media. Newspaper reporter Shaaban Matutu of Free Media Limited was killed in December, and the Chairman of the Tanzania Editors’ Forum was attacked several months later. In January, one radio reporter, Issa Ngumba, was murdered, while another went missing.
