Tanzania's national parks authority just teamed up with a Zanzibar tourism group to keep visitors hanging around the mainland longer instead of bouncing straight back to the islands. TANAPA and ZATI signed this deal in Zanzibar with help from the tourism ministry's permanent secretary, Dr Aboud Jumbe, and they're basically trying to funnel more beach tourists into wildlife parks. The conservation commissioner, John Nyamhanga, says the whole point is getting people to spend extra days checking out the 21 national parks, which should pump up revenue and create jobs.
ZATI's chairman, Suleiman Ali Mohamed, is all about pulling in more investment and marketing in both spots internationally. Meanwhile, TANAPA has already set up an office in...

Tanzania's minerals boss, Anthony Mavunde, rolled out plans to juice up tanzanite's street cred and hook local traders with better systems at the Mirerani exchange hub. The gemstone brought in 161 billion shillings before, and the whole mining game just crossed 1 trillion in revenue by mid-2025. Mavunde said weak coordination killed prices over time because nobody managed production properly.
Officials want to rebrand the stone for bougie international markets while firing up domestic auctions and global exhibitions. The exchange center gets upgraded to track deals and grab taxes better. Mavunde floated building a full tanzanite city with hotels and shipping to pump jobs, and he noted 291 young people had already grabbed mining permits...
Simba SC cut ties with manager Dimitar Pantev after the Bulgarian lasted barely two months on a two-year contract that started in early October. Assistant coach Selemani Matola takes over while the Tanzanian club hunts for a permanent boss following back-to-back losses in the CAF Champions League group stage that dropped them into last place.
Pantev arrived with league titles from Botswana and Cameroon on his resume, but losses to Petro Luanda at home and Stade Malien away tanked his tenure before he could settle in. The club parted ways through mutual agreement after the rough continental start put immediate pressure on results.
Young Africans SC from Tanzania became the first squad to officially sign up for the African Club Association by dropping 1,000 bucks on membership. The Jangwani crew beat every other team across the continent to registration, which basically puts them at the front of a movement trying to reshape how African club football gets run and funded.
The ACA wants Premier League and First Division clubs from all over to join up so they can push for better governance and bigger commercial deals. Yanga's quick move sets them up as leaders off the field, and officials are waiting to see which other clubs follow their lead on this governance thing.
Tanzania dropped treason charges against cosmetics seller Jenifer Jovin, better known as Niffer, and Mika Lucas Chavala after prosecutors told the court they had no plans to keep the case going. Senior Resident Magistrate Aaron Lyamuya approved the request from State Attorney Titus Aron and let both defendants walk free.
The prosecution used a section of the Criminal Procedure Act to officially kill the investigation. The magistrate agreed with the state's position and released them without opposition.

Tanzania's business registration agency just flexed some solid numbers after going mostly digital over the past five years. BRELA boss Godfrey Nyaisa told Industry Minister Judith Kapinga that over 90 percent of their stuff runs online after linking up with tax and ID databases. The agency processed more than 73,000 company registrations, 133,000 business names, plus thousands of trademarks and licenses between mid-2020 and mid-2025.
Kapinga pushed BRELA to keep cranking up speed and accountability since they handle the country's main business gateway. She wants all ministry systems talking to each other so traders and investors get consistent data instead of conflicting info. Officials said faster registration helps job creation and...
