Stranded!






ROAD BLOCK!. . . Travellers to different destinations were recently stranded along the DAR ES Salaam-Tunduma Road after an accident occurred just near Morogoro, blocking the high way. The situation was helpless as stranded travellers, most of them cross border traders from Zambia, DRC, Zimbabwe and other surrounding countries were counting their losses as this was not only strenuous but also an inconvenience . A long queue of vehicles stretching for more than three kilometres formed and some of the passengers in those vehicles had no option but to sleep under the shade to avoid the burning sun.

Vendors at Work

Vendors display their wares to attract potential customers in different buses at a bus terminus in Morogoro recently. With the cost of living continue to rising and life becoming difficult for many, a lot of youths have solace in vending to eke a living. It is, however , unfortunate that in most cases, they find themselves running battles with municipal police officers, who in most cases confiscate their goods. A permanent solution should there be found so that these people can operate without fear of harassment
