Why TZ will soon overtake Kenya in creating millionaires

Tanzania is creating dollar millionaires faster than any other East African country, a new report says. This means that East Africa’s newest millionaires are likely to come from Tanzania, as opposed to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda or Burundi. According to the African 2013 Wealth Book, the country is ranked third in Africa, after Ethiopia and Angola, with its millionaires’ club growing at a rate of 51 per cent between 2007 and 2013.  While it had 3,700 millionaires in 2007, this number had risen to 5,600 by 2013. Tanzania is followed in the region by Kenya, the only other regional country that features among the top 10 in Africa. Kenya is reported to have had 8,300 millionaires in 2013 against 6,700 in 2007, a growth rate of 24 per cent. The report, put together by New World Wealth, defines millionaires or high net worth individuals (HNWIs) as those with net assets worth $1 million or more, excluding the value of their primary residences. The survey includes only those countr

"Transport logistics experts are rare species in Tanzania"

Dar es Salaam: The government and private sector have been urged to establish institutions that would offer courses on transport logistics in order to meet acute shortage of experts and cater for an increasing demand of the sector. Speaking at the weekend in Dar es Salaam, the Chief Executive Officer of Dar es Salaam Transport Company (UDA), Robert Kisena, said Tanzania does not have any college which offers courses in transport logistics, which his company need most to revolutionise public transport system in the city. “Last time we advertised in various media houses to get transport specialists to join our company. It is unfortunate to learn that we have not managed to get qualified persons todate,” he said. Kisena said in a move to bridge the gap, his firm has recruited local transport specialists to train logistics staff for his company that seeks to change the state of things in the transport sector. “We are also planning to establish our own training centre which will be offer

First aid: a simple yet radical response to Africa's rising road deaths?

700 people are killed every day on Africa's roads. Compulsory first aid training for new drivers would dramatically cut deaths Share 232 in Share 7 Email Alasan Senghore in Nairobi Guardian Professional ,  Thursday 16 January 2014 12.03 GMT Jump to comments  ( 1 ) First aid training for all is a simple - but ambitious - solution to reducing traffic fatalities on Africa's roads. Photograph: Antonio Zazueta Olmos The number of deaths resulting from road accidents in  Africa  is on the rise. The continent currently  has the worst death rate for road accidents in the world  – almost 250% worse than Europe –  with over 151 people killed per 10,000 vehicles in Uganda alone . Road accidents are predicted to become the  biggest killer of children between the ages of five and 15 in sub-Saharan Africa by 2015 , outstripping malaria and HIV. We can shift this worrying trend and reduce the impact of road traffic accidents in developing countries

Global transport sector looks to ride natural gas boom

* LNG as ship fuel kicks off in globally * U.S. road and rail sectors also start using LNG as fuel * LNG fuel demand to rise from 5 bcm in 2012 to 160 bcm by 2030 By  Henning Gloystein  and  Jonathan Saul LONDON, Feb 4 (Reuters) -  Natural gas  has started to challenge oil as the dominant transport fuel with companies building gas-powered ships and installing networks of service stations on water and land. The expectation of cheaper gas and tighter environmental regulation have created demand for a cleaner alternative to the oil-based fuels that have so far dominated the transport world. Although European and Asian liquefied  natural gas  (LNG) prices are currently high, trading at almost $20 per million British thermal unit (mmBtu) in Asia and around $10 per mmBtu in Europe because of booming demand, analysts expect prices to drop substantially later this decade when new production rises. Germany , Singapore and the Netherlands are among the countries investing in natur

SUBMITTED BY  WALY WANE ON  TUE, 05/14/2013 CO-AUTHORS:  JACQUES MORISSET ,  ISIS GADDIS IN SHARE 1 COMMENT Let's think together:  Every Sunday the World Bank in Tanzania in collaboration with  The Citizen  wants to stimulate your thinking by sharing data from recent official surveys in Tanzania and ask you a few questions. Easy access to markets, public services, and jobs is indispensable for citizens to take advantage of economic opportunities and achieve progress. In Tanzania, as in most other countries in the region, roads are the predominant mode of transport for people and goods. However, insufficient transportation facilities and limited mobility are an everyday reality: - In 2010, only 1.8 per cent of Tanzanian households owned a car; significantly less than in Kenya (5.6 per cent in 2008/09) or Uganda (3.2 per cent in 2011). - Motorbike ownership is also not common – only 2.9 per cent of households on Mainland claimed ownership of
