Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – 25 September 2025 – Bolt Tanzania is proud to announce a new discount code, SIMBU, in celebration of Alphonce Felix Simbu, who made history as Tanzania’s first gold medalist at the World Athletics Championships.

Dar es Salaam, 23 Septemba 2025 – Vodacom Tanzania Plc, kwa kushirikiana na Chama cha Gofu Tanzania (TGU), imetangaza kuwa mdhamini mkuu wa mashindano ya Vodacom Tanzania Open 2025, yanayotarajiwa kuvutia zaidi ya wachezaji 150 kutoka Tanzania na nchi za Afrika Mashariki na Kusini.

Ushirikiano huu ni sehemu ya mkakati wa Vodacom wa kuendeleza mchezo wa gofu nchini, huku kampuni hiyo ikiadhimisha miaka 25 ya huduma zake. Lengo kuu ni kujikita kama mtandao namba moja unaounga mkono maendeleo ya gofu Tanzania, hususan jijini Dar es Salaam na visiwani Zanzibar.

Mashindano ya Tanzania Open siyo tu uwanja wa mashindano, bali pia ni jukwaa la kuonyesha vipaji, mshikamano wa michezo na ubunifu wa kidijitali. Kupitia ubia huu, Vodacom inaleta mapinduzi katika mchezo wa gofu kwa kuunganisha urithi wake na teknolojia ya kisasa, sambamba na kukuza ushiriki wa jamii na ujumuishi kwenye michezo.

Kauli za Viongozi

Akizungumza katika hafla ya uzinduzi, Mkuu wa Idara ya Masoko na Uwezeshaji wa Vodacom Business, Joseph Sayi, alisema:

COLLABORATION IN ACTION: TRA’S APPROACH TO ENDING ILLICIT ALCOHOL IN TANZANIA

Illicit alcohol is one of Tanzania’s most pressing public health and economic challenges. Beyond the tragic loss of lives caused by toxic brews, the shadow market drains government revenues, undermines legitimate businesses, and fuels unsafe consumption. This is not only a tax issue—it is a national concern that demands collective action from government, industry, civil society, and consumers alike.

The Scale of the Problem

Research shows that up to 86% of all alcohol consumed in Tanzania comes from informal, largely unregulated sources. This highlights the vast volume of untaxed supply flowing outside regulatory oversight.

The fiscal cost is equally severe: government officials estimate that more than TZS 1.7 trillion is lost every year in uncollected excise revenues from sectors such as alcohol and cigarettes—funds that could support health, education, and enforcement. The human cost is no less alarming, with regulators repeatedly warning about “high-risk” alcohol circulating on the market, often linked to methanol poisoning that can cause blindness or even death.

From Policy to Practice: Technology as a Game-Changer

Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has responded with modern enforcement systems anchored in Electronic Tax Stamps (ETS) and product authentication tools. 

These deliver:

• End-to-end traceability from production to point-of-sale
• Instant consumer verification through the Hakiki Stempu mobile app
• Real-time data for enforcement teams to identify non-compliance and illicit hotspots

The session aimed to equip business leaders and traders with knowledge and efficiency to help them make informed decisions on foreign currency transactions and investments. NBC Bank was the main sponsor of the forum.

Dar es Salaam, September 22, 2025 – The National Bank of Commerce (NBC) has provided special training to business leaders and traders from Tanzania and South Africa on foreign exchange markets as well as the general economic outlook in Tanzania. The initiative aimed at equipping traders with knowledge and efficiency to help them make informed decisions regarding foreign currency purchases and investments.

Speaking during the South Africa Business Forum (SABF) in Tanzania held in Dar es Salaam recently, NBC’s Head of Foreign Exchange Markets, Ms. Juliana Mwapachu, who delivered a presentation on the state of the foreign exchange market in Tanzania, said a deeper understanding of forex markets will greatly help business leaders and traders avoid losses they often incur when transacting without considering various economic indicators.

“This is part of our ongoing efforts as a leading bank serving cross-border traders between Tanzania and South Africa. We continue to deliver different economic and business topics to build their awareness and support them in running their businesses in a way that is more aligned with financial institutions and regulatory bodies, so they don’t face challenges that could disrupt their operations,” she said.

In her presentation, Ms. Mwapachu elaborated on Tanzania’s 2025 economic performance and projections for 2026. She emphasized that with sufficient understanding of foreign exchange dynamics, traders will be better positioned to decide the right timing and methods for buying and exchanging currencies at favorable rates, minimizing losses from exchange rate fluctuations.

She further added that, beyond foreign exchange services, NBC is committed to supporting cross-border traders with professional advisory services, particularly when doing business outside Tanzania, including South Africa.

On his part, SABF Chairman, Mr. Manish Thakrar, underscored the importance of the training, saying it will greatly benefit traders who often deal with foreign currencies when importing goods.

“This knowledge is extremely valuable, especially at a time when the value of the US dollar has dropped by nearly TSh200. Traders can now understand that this is the right time to import or export goods, a move that will further stimulate business and strengthen our economy,” he said.
