NICE ROAD




It is now very confortable to travel on this central corridor. One can remember the difficulties we encountered along this route, it is Sukamahela cross where the road was terrible. Round about at Manyoni, very promissing!

DODOMA - SINGIDA ROAD




The road transect through Bahi district - Niger of Tanzania (due to recent discoveries of Uranium deposits). Along the road, there is a long lines of white bags of baobab nuts (ubuyu - a vitamin C reach powder!). I think there is huge market somewhere for these. Can the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security include this as another cash crop in its crop inventory? I think currently it generates income to the people before they begin earning some money from Uranium! At the far can be seen a district head quarters for Bahi.

MOROGORO




I used to be in Morogoro oftenly. Photos shows deforestrated Mt. Uruguru and Msamvu round about. What is going on this factory once called Moprocco? I had my Industrial training (PT for those from FOE) here during my undergraduate studies in engineering early 90s. I'm sure to tell that, this was the best edible oil plant in Tanzania. With its brand new double refinery plant, don't think of what is being written on todays tin of oils. It was a plant my dear, ask Eng. Komba - nowwith Temdo, Dr. John Mbogoma - now with NARCO! What happened or what is going on this factory? Someone to tell us.

UBUNGO BUS TERMINAL (UBT)



At the very begining of my safari to Dodoma I encountered a serious problem regarding work place safety. Huge billboard was on its installation, I was worried on the danger possed to installers - very young guys. With no any safety gears like hard cap, safety belt and even overall to wear, they were in danger! Thank God no accident happened and the work completed. It is not proper, contractors particularly in this bussiness makes money they have to look upon these poor, cheap guys especially on their safety. I'm sure they do not have any contract with the owners!
