Kuliko kuendelea kuwa na reli inayoleta hasara,Tanzania na Zambia zimpe Mchina.
Naunga mkono ubinafsishaji wa Tazara na Mashirika mengine yote yanayotupa hasara au laa yafutwe kabisa.

CHINA WANTS TO TAKE OVER THE OPERATIONS OF TAZARA
China has quietly been in talks with the governments of Tanzania and Zambia over the past few years on the possibility of operating the underperforming Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA)
The Chinese-built railway connecting the two neighbouring countries was constructed in the 1970s, but has largely been operating significantly below capacity.
China owns copper mines in Zambia, Africa’s second-largest producer of the strategic metal, and may be looking to export copper shipments more efficiently via TAZARA through the Dar es Salaam port by operating the railway line itself
Although Tanzania and Zambia hold joint and equal shares in TAZARA, under the governance structure the MD comes from Zambia and the Deputy MD is appointed from Tanzania
During Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan's current state visit to Zambia, the future of TAZARA will be high on the agenda at bilateral talks with her host, President Hakainde Hichilema
The two leaders could make a decision on China's request for a 20-year concession to operate TAZARA
