CLEARING THE CONFUSION: AUCTIONEERS (MADALALI) vs. ESTATE AGENTS (WAKALA MILKI)

For too long, the terms "Madalali" (Auctioneers) and "Mawakala wa Milki" (Estate Agents) have been used interchangeably in Tanzania, leading to significant confusion.
This misunderstanding stems partly from the fact that Auctioneers operate under a clear legal framework (the Auctioneers Act Cap 227 of 1928), while Estate Agents currently lack specific legislation governing their profession.
Just like we refer to Insurance Agents as MAWAKALA wa BIMA and not MADALALI wa BIMA, same applies to Air Ticketing, Clearing Agents, etc.
Let's clarify the distinct roles:
It is crucial to recognize the distinct services offered by each. Using the correct terminology and understanding their respective roles ensures smoother and more effective transactions in the property market.
A dedicated legal framework for Estate Agents would be a significant step towards professionalizing the sector and protecting both practitioners and the public.

- lack of a clear definition
- standardized practices
- enforcement mechanisms

BOLT PERFORMANCE ON VALENTINES DAY EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
As the leading ride-hailing platform in the country, Bolt Tanzania anticipated a huge surge in ride requests to Dar es Salaam’s most popular romantic hotspots such as Posta, Mlimani, and Masaki. With couples, friends, and loved ones expected to flock to those areas for special celebrations, Bolt stepped up to ensure seamless and affordable transportation for all.

Traffic to fine dining restaurants, beachfront lounges, and entertainment venues peaked from 6:00 PM as predicted, and prices went up in the Bolt application to manage the excessive demand.

But the unusual influx of ride requests, as well as the record-breaking number of trips that night, made it more apparent that ride-hailing holds a critical place in the economy. As a strong business, Bolt can stimulate huge demand and unlock customer expenditure in restaurants, entertainment centres, and other areas of the economy,” said Dimmy Kanyankole, the General Manager for Bolt Tanzania and Kenya.
