An environmental Independence Day a reminder of what’s crucial
PEOPLE across the country marked the 59th anniversary of Tanganyika’s Independence by engaging in massive tree planting activities.
This was a prolongation of what was set out in the early days of the current government, with then-incoming President John Magufuli cancelling Uhuru Day celebrations at the National Stadium in 2015.
He then directed that the money set aside for the occasion be used to widen the Morocco-Mwenge stretch of Dar es Salaam’s Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road. This measure has resulted in the well-received easing of congestion previously lasting hours.
