CLYDE & CO UPDATER - SECURING LAND AS COLLATERAL IN TANZANIA

In this article, we look at how land in Tanzania can be used as collateral by lenders. We also explore various options for registering third party interests in land, how such options operate and their effectiveness in securing lenders' interests.

Background

All land in Tanzania is public land vested in the President as a trustee on behalf of the people. Tanzanian citizens occupy public land through a right of occupancy. There are two categories of right of occupancy namely granted right of occupancy (GRO) and customary right of occupancy (CRO). A GRO is issued for general land that is surveyed as per the requirements of the urban planning authorities. A CRO is issued for village land by the village councils.

A GRO is subject to a term of occupation that does not exceed 99 years. On the other hand, the duration of a CRO may be for either an indefinite period, a definite period which does not exceed 99 years or for year to year or less as it may be determined by the village council.

Non-citizens and companies that are majority-owned by non-citizens (collectively referred to as Foreigners) cannot hold land under a GRO or a CRO as these are reserved for Tanzanian citizens. However, Foreigners can occupy general land either through a long term lease or a derivative right granted by the Tanzania Investment Centre. Foreigners cannot occupy village land either through a derivative right or a long term lease unless the village land is first converted into general land.

Land is commonly accepted by lenders as a form of collateral. This is in part due to the legal protections available to lenders when securing third party interests in land. We discuss below the various forms of securing third party interests in land.

Mortgage

A mortgage is the creation of an interest in a right of occupancy for securing the payment of money or the fulfilment of a condition. A mortgage deed must be registered with the Registrar of Titles to be effective. A mortgage created between a lender and a corporate body cannot be registered with the Registrar of Titles unless it has first been registered with the relevant registrar of that corporate body. For example, mortgages created by a company must first be registered with the Registrar of Companies (i.e. the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency) before they are registered with the Registrar of Titles.

Where the same property is mortgaged to several lenders, the mortgages must rank in priority according to the order in which they were registered unless the lenders enter into a security sharing agreement that would set out the ranking of the mortgages.

KENYA AIRWAYS REPORTS WORST EVER LOSS OF $330M

Kenya Airways (KQ) net loss has nearly tripled to Ksh36.2 billion (about $330 million), the worst ever in the history of the airline, on account of Covid-19 disruptions that led to a sharp decline in passenger numbers.

The loss, for the financial year ended December 2020, is 2.8 times more than the Ksh12.98 billion ($118 million) net loss it had posted a year earlier, and now deals a major blow to the recovery efforts of the national carrier.

KQ chairman Michael Joseph says the outlook still looks bleak and the airline will be seeking a right-sized network to match the prevailing demand.

“The Covid-19 global outbreak in 2020 was beyond anyone’s prediction and its impact on the industry is expected to continue affecting air travel demand for the next two to three years,” said Mr Joseph.

KQ’s loss, also the worst ever results in corporate Kenya, came on the back of strict Covid-19 control measures across the globe that crushed demand for air travel.

The airline says that passenger revenue dropped by 67.5 per cent to Ksh33.7 billion ($307 million) as passenger numbers reduced by 65.7 per cent to 1.8 million.

“Approximately 70 per cent of the total passengers carried in 2020 were flown during the first three months of the year, demonstrating the drop in demand as the global crisis deepened during the year,” said Mr Joseph.

Total income dipped by 58.9 per cent to Ksh52.8 billion ($481 million) underlining the impact of a sharp fall in passenger numbers as countries restricted movement to contain the spread of Covid-19.

The latest loss means that KQ has now gone for the eighth straight year without profits, extending its accumulated losses to Ksh128.76 billion ($1.2 billion).

CLYDE & CO UPDATER - TANZANIA COMPANIES ACT: NEW DEADLINE TO SUBMIT BENEFICIAL OWNERS’ INFORMATION

On 12 February 2021, a notice on the extension period for submission of information of beneficial ownership was published through the Companies Notice* made under the Companies Act**. In this article, we discuss the concept of beneficial ownership and address the new timeline for filing information about beneficial owners.

Beneficial ownership

The concept of beneficial ownership in Tanzania company law was introduced in the Companies Act through amendment by the Finance Act No. 8 of 2020 (the Finance Act). A beneficial owner is a natural person who either owns, controls or is entitled to a substantial economic interest, whether directly or indirectly, over a company. A person who exercises significant control over another person related to a company is also considered as a beneficial owner.

The Finance Act has introduced several other changes to the Companies Act with regards to beneficial ownership, such as:

• Submitting up-to-date records of the beneficial owners of a company to the Registrar of Companies (Registrar) when registering the Memorandum and Articles of Association
• Including information about the beneficial owners in the register of members
• Including records of beneficial owners in the company’s annual return.

Currently, no subsidiary legislations for the implementation of the beneficial ownership requirement have been published.

Extension period

Prior to the Notice, companies incorporated before 1 July 2020 were given six months from 1 July 2020 to submit beneficial ownership information to the Registrar, which made 1 January 2021 the initial deadline. The deadline has now been extended to 1 January 2022.

Kukwama kwa wajasiliamali katika sekta ya kilimo kushindwa kupata mikopo ya kifedha kutoka taasisi za kibenki imetajwa kuchangiwa na vikwazo vinavyotokana na changamoto ya ubora wa mazao yanayozalishwa na kupelekea kusababisha ukosefu wa masoko hapa nchini.

Akizungumza wakati wa uzinduzi wa Kizimba Business Model uliofanyika katika viwanja vya SUGECO Morogoro, Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Kilimo Benki ya NMB - Isaac Masusu alisema kuwa mijadala ilikuwa mingi ya njia ipi itakuwa bora kwa benki kuweza kutoa mikopo ya muda mrefu katika sekta ya kilimo na sasa mfumo wa kilimo wa Kizimba Business Model itakuwa imefungua njia ya kupata ufumbuzi wa changamoto hiyo.

GLOBAL RECYCLING DAY CALLS ON US TO WORK TOGETHER FOR A WORLD WITHOUT WASTE

Jacques Vermeulen, CEO of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa.

By Jacques Vermeulen

Dar es Salaam, Thursday 18 March 2021 - Along with its devastating human and economic costs, the COVID-19 pandemic has put renewed focus on sustainability. The experience of mass human vulnerability to the accidents of nature has reminded us of the need to live in harmony with the natural environment if we are to survive as a species.

As James Quincey, Coca-Cola CEO and Chairman, recently put it: “COVID-19 has highlighted the urgent need for collaborative, cross-sector solutions to climate change, plastic waste and other critical environmental and social issues. The crisis has shone a light on the interconnected nature of our world and the lessons we learn must be applied to help us emerge stronger and get to a more sustainable and inclusive economic future.”

The question, against the backdrop of the severe economic damage caused by the pandemic, is how social partners can work better together to build this future.

BENKI YA CRDB YAWAWEZESHA WATEJA KUWEKA NA KUPOKEA PESA KUTOKA M-BET KUPITIA SIMBANKING

 Meneja Mwanadamizi wa Huduma Mbadala Benki ya CRDB, Mangire Kibanda (katikati) akizungumza na waandishi wa habari wakati wa hafla ya uzinduzi wa huduma ya kuhamisha fedha kwa wateja wanaobashiri kati ya akaunti ya benki ya CRDB na akaunti ya mtandao ya m-bet (m-bet wallet), iliyofanyika kwenye hoteli ya Coral Beach iliyopo Masaki, Dar es Salaam. Wengine pichani ni Mkurugenzi wa Masoko wa M-Bet, Allen Mushi (kulia) pamoja na Mejena wa Huduma ya SimBanking ya Benki ya CRDB, Emmanuel Moshi.  

Benki ya CRDB na kampuni ya kubashiri ya M-Bet zimezindua huduma ya kuhamisha fedha kwa wateja wanaobashiri kati ya akaunti ya benki na akaunti ya mtandao ya m-bet (m-bet wallet).

Akizungumza katika mkutano na waandishi wa habari uliofanyika katika hoteli ya Coral Beach iliyopo Masaki, Dar es Salaam, Meneja Mwanadamizi wa Huduma Mbadala Benki ya CRDB, Mangire Kibanda amesema huduma hiyo ambayo inapatikana katika mfumo wa SimBanking inalenga kuwapa urahisi wadau wa kubashiri kuhamisha fedha kwa ajili ya shughuli zao.

 

Kibanda alisema kupata huduma hiyo mteja atatakiwa kuwa amesajiliwa na huduma ya SimBanking ambayo inapatikana kupitia namba *150*03# au kwa kupitia SimBanking App.

“Mteja ataingia katika menu ya SimBanking, atachagua malipo, ataingiza kumbukumbu namba ya malipo kutoka m-bet na kisha kuhamisha fedha anazohitaji kwa ajili ya kubashili,” alielezea Kibanda huku akianisha kuwa huduma hiyo inatolewa bure bila makato yoyote kwa wateja.

Kwa upande wake Mkurugenzi wa Masoko wa M-Bet, Allen Mushi alisema uzinduzi wa huduma hiyo unaendana na maono ya kampuni hiyo ya kuhakikisha huduma kwa wateja zinapatikana kidijitali na kunakuwa na usalama kwenye fedha za wateja.

“Tunajivunia kuwa kampuni ya kwanza ya kubashiri nchini kuanzisha ubia na na Benki katika kuwawezesha wateja kuhamisha fedha kidijitali kati ya wallet zao na akaunti ya benki, hii ni habari njema kwa wapenzi wote wa kubashiri nchini kwani pia inamaanisha usalama zaidi wa fedha za wateja,” alisema Mushi.

Akielezea faida za huduma hiyo, Mushi alisema kupitia huduma hiyo wadau wa kubashiri sasa watakuwa na uwezo wa kufuatilia miamala yao, hivyo kuwajengea uwezo wa kupata taarifa za kiasi gani wamewekeza katika kubashiri na faida ambazo wanapata.

“Kupitia huduma hii mteja anaweza kutuma fedha kwenda kwenye wallet ya M-Bet lakini vilevile akishinda anaweza kuhamisha fedha zake kutoka katika wallet kwenda katika akaunti ya Benki ya CRDB ambapo anaweza kutumia kufanya manunuzi kupitia SimBanking au TemboCard yake,” aliongezea Mushi. 

Akihitimisha mkutano huo, Meneja Mwanadamizi wa Huduma Mbadala Benki ya CRDB, Mangire Kibanda aliwataka wadau wa kubashiri kupitia M-Bet ambao bado hawana akaunti ya Benki ya CRDB kufungua akaunti kupitia SimBanking App kwani zoezi hilo sasa limerahisishwa. 

“Mteja anachotakiwa kufanya ni kupakua rununu “application” ya SimBanking katika Play Store kwa wenye simu za Android au App Store kwa wenye simu za iOs. Itakuuliza kama una akaunti au bado, utachagua kufungua akaunti na kisha kufungua akaunti kwa kitambulisho chako cha NIDA na alama za vidole. Haijawahi kuwa rahisi hivi,” alihitimisha Kibanda.
