Airtel Tanzania just dropped three new cell towers across Morogoro and Kilimanjaro to patch up dead zones that have been killing business and emergency comms for years. Morogoro scored two spots in Gairo District at Magoweko ward and Kihonda VETA, while Kilimanjaro got one at Sanya Juu in Hai District. Regional manager Faustine Mtui said the whole thing backs the government's push for better access and youth employment.
Over 300 young people in Gairo have already found work as mobile money agents, and the new infrastructure should create more gigs plus easier access to financial services. Magoweko Ward Councilor Shabani Sajilo mentioned that the lack of solid network coverage wrecked economic activity and made emergencies way harder to handle before this.
Airtel ran a three-day promo giving locals 50 cross-network minutes, 500MB of data, and 50 SMS to celebrate the rollout.
