The president is just a president, and they need to be criticised as leaders, not because they’re Tanganyikan or Zanzibari.

During his lecture, Professor Mukandala described the MV Bukoba’s history as a ‘tortured life’, highlighting that the ship was put into service without proper testing and had significant flaws, particularly in its stability.

Tanzania’s Minister of Defence and National Service, Stergomena Tax, announced that her ministry has received a special budget increase of Sh. 1.6 trillion (USD 633 million) for the 2023/24 financial year to support ongoing operations outside the country and equipment purchases.

The departure of SADC forces from Mozambique is likely to ease pressure on the Al Sunna Wal Jammah (ASWJ) terrorist group and expose Tanzania to increased cross-border security risks.

Does Tanzania, as a nation, genuinely aspire to establish effective governance structures? If so, what mechanisms are in place to facilitate this ambition?

As the country’s labour market diversifies, unions must stay ahead of these trends and adapt their strategies accordingly, including influencing labour policies.

With the coming negotiations or ongoing negotiations, Tanzania is in a better position than it used to be 20 years ago, it is not desperate. The test for President Samia is for her government to secure a better deal than what was there in the past.
