Taifa Stars coach Miguel Gamondi is taking positives from a 2-1 loss to Nigeria at AFCON. The Argentine told reporters his Tanzania squad showed clear growth, especially compared to a previous friendly against Kuwait. He pointed to a more aggressive attacking approach and overall player confidence as good signs, despite a defensive error on a corner leading to Nigeria's first goal.
Gamondi admitted his side still needs work defensively. He called the match a valuable lesson, noting you cannot just freely attack a team of Nigeria's caliber. With two Group C games left against Uganda and Tunisia, the coach stressed his team must stay focused. Tanzania currently sits third with zero points, tied with bottom team Uganda. Group leaders...
The head of the Zanzibar Law School, Dr. Ali Uki, is pushing for better-trained cops at the island's Gender and Children Desks.

Tanzania's Deputy Minister for Industry and Trade, Patrobas Paschal Katambi, says the country needs to fight for its factories with research and brains, not weapons. He made these comments during a visit to the Tanzania Industrial Research and Development Organisation, or TIRDO, in Dar es Salaam. Katambi framed the agency as a key defensive shield for the national economy, helping the country stand up to global tech and economic pressure. He specifically praised projects like food preservation for mangoes and fish, plus work by a local automaker called KP Motors, led by Masudi Kipanya.
The minister pointed to the team of doctors and professors at TIRDO as the real force behind this push. He argued that failed research isn't about a bad...
Madaba District in Ruvuma is getting a major agribusiness makeover. A company named Jenga Tanzania Agriculture Limited is behind the push, with large farms already operating in Lutukira and Ndelenyuma villages. The district council's Executive Director, Advocate Sajidu Mohamed, gave the project his full backing after a recent inspection. He confirmed the government wants to keep things friendly for investors like this.

For the actual farming, Jenga Tanzania is growing maize and sunflowers. They are also getting into beekeeping and fish ponds. These operations are supposed...
Indonesia is putting a billion dollars into the BRICS development bank. The country's economic minister, Airlangga Hartarto, confirmed the funding pledge. Indonesia joined the bloc earlier this year, partly seeking other markets amid tense trade relations. The contribution to the New Development Bank aims to finance sustainable projects across member nations. This move fits the country's strategy to balance its global economic ties. It also supports broader efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar in international trade.
The bank itself has about one hundred billion in authorized capital. Founding members hold most of its shares. It has funded many infrastructure and energy projects so far. The bank's president, Dilma Rousseff...
A conference in Arusha focused on making government and business contracts more inclusive. A speaker at the event pushed for Gender Responsive Procurement. Humphrey Simba, from ASNL Advisory, said this approach helps women entrepreneurs get fair access to deals. He argued it breaks down old barriers in a competitive sector. The Procurement and Supplies Professionals Board hosted the gathering.
Simba listed several benefits from this method. Economically, it can raise incomes for women and create jobs. Socially, it often means better family health and more kids in school. He noted evidence shows women tend to reinvest earnings into their households. On governance, a diverse pool of suppliers can reduce corruption risks and build public...
Twenty-seven students from a local university's Chinese language program got scholarships. The Confucius Institute at the University of Dar es Salaam handed out the awards. A cement company called JUYE Tanzania helped fund them. The institute's Tanzanian director, Dr. Mussa Hans, said the money helps students keep studying without stopping. He thanked the company for its ongoing support.
The scholarships work on a performance system. Students who do well in their first year get their fees covered for the next level. Top performers in higher levels receive cash prizes. Funding amounts vary, with some getting full coverage and others partial grants. Dr. Hans said this encourages hard work and can lead to recognition elsewhere. JUYE's...
The Prime Minister called for the firing of employees linked to a major funds scandal. Mwigulu Nchemba gave the order during a visit to a ferry service in Dar es Salaam. He stated workers at the transportation agency TEMESA embezzled two and a half billion shillings. Nchemba said this corruption hurt ferry operations and raised government costs. He warned that the state will not tolerate authority or stolen public money.
Maintenance on some ferries has stopped because of unpaid debts of around eight hundred million shillings. The Prime Minister noted financial reports point to the agency staff's involvement. He argued that without strict action, the government will waste huge sums fixing old boats instead of buying new ones. This would...
Airtel Tanzania just flipped the switch on five new cell towers. These are in Mkuranga, Kilimanjaro, Dodoma, Karatu, and Simiyu. Company managers in each area held launch events. They said the move tackles the big gap between city and rural service. The Dodoma manager, Salum Ngururu, called communication a key social and economic tool. He noted the tower there brings voice calls, mobile money, and faster 4G or 5G internet to Kizota. Mkuranga's manager, Lusajo Mwakapeje, said villagers had dealt with terrible service for too long.
The Karatu manager, Kephar Kileo, pointed to rising data demand as the reason for building. He said better connections help farmers and herders reach buyers. In Simiyu, manager Fernand Doya announced two new...
