When I met the Golden Tulip General Manager, Mr Shousha Mohsen mid last year for a chat and later told me that he had the vision of transforming the hotel into the biggest Four Star hotel in Dar es Salaam, I had my reservations. Today I am eating on those reservations proudly if I may add.

AGRICULTURE plays an important role in poverty reduction, particularly in poorer countries such as Tanzania where majority of people still depend on farming for their livelihood.
THE Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MoHSW) through the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) has reached an amazing milestone, with almost all beds in the country covered with Long Lasting Insecticides Treated Nets (LLIN).
EFFORTS to protect the elephant population have been hampered by a meagre anti-poaching budget, the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) has said.
THE consequences of prolonged destruction of the environment around the world are here with us. Increased droughts, flooding, poor harvests, water scarcity and other effects are real.
The Revolution of January 12, 1964 was a great moment for the emancipation of the people of Zanzibar.
IT was like it won’t happen and everyone was prepared for yet another chaotic beginning of the new year 2012 as Kigamboni residents were expected to strike over the increase in fare for ferries plying between Kigamboni and Magogoni in Dar es Salaam.
WHEN a team of three Germans arrived in Dar es Salaam last month to make a documentary film they had to enlist the help of local Television Producer David Kyungu.
In my recent visit to the US I witnessed something that has been sustained over many years with a lot of consistency. Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic in the US, AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs), most of them community-based agencies, have played an out sized role in helping their clients secure quality health care and other needed services.
The dead may lie in their grave, but for the living of Msimbazi Valley in Dar es Salaam life goes on as the New Year begins with a future that is at best murky. For them, a community whose sole mistake was living where they should never have been in the first place, the year 2011 ended on a sour note for those residents who now say they have nowhere to go and are openly daring the worst downpour the meteorological offices warns is imminent.
