The High Court of Tanzania, Morogoro Sub-Registry, has granted an application by former police officer Corporal Said Pazzi seeking leave to file judicial review proceedings out of time to challenge his dismissal from the police force.

The officer was dismissed after being found guilty in disciplinary proceedings conducted before a military tribunal involving corruption-related allegations.

The ruling was delivered on Friday, June 12, 2026, by Judge Stephen Magoiga, who heard the application filed by Pazzi against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Attorney General. In his application, Mr Pazzi asked the court to extend the time for filing judicial review proceedings challenging the decisions of the IGP and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, which upheld his dismissal following a military tribunal ruling linking him to disciplinary offences related to corruption.

According to court documents, the applicant was dismissed from service in 2023 after the Deputy Commissioner of Police received the findings of the military tribunal, which found him guilty in a disciplinary matter.

Dissatisfied with the decision, he appealed to the IGP, who, on March 14, 2024, upheld his dismissal.

He later appealed to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, who, on March 5 2025, informed him that the IGP’s decision was final within the Police Force appeals system, although he remained entitled to seek redress through other legal avenues.

Through his advocate, Mr Pazzi argued that his right to be heard was violated during both the disciplinary proceedings and the appeal process.

He claimed that he had not been allowed to submit some of his defence documents and that he had not been personally served with either the findings or the decision of the case as required by law.

He further alleged that the IGP determined his appeal without granting him an opportunity to be heard and that he only became aware of the outcome after being removed from the police payroll system.

His lawyer told the court that the violation of the right to be heard constituted a fundamental legal issue capable of justifying an extension of time to file judicial review proceedings even after the ordinary six-month limitation period had expired.

The government opposed the application, arguing that the applicant had fully participated in the disciplinary proceedings and that the case records showed he cross-examined witnesses and signed various procedural documents during the hearing.

The respondents maintained that the claim of being denied the right to be heard was unfounded because the applicant had been allowed to defend himself and present his arguments before the disciplinary authority.

They also insisted that the applicant had delayed for an unreasonably long period before filing the application and had failed to provide satisfactory explanations for the entire period of delay.

Court ruling

In his ruling, Judge Magoiga said that after reviewing the military tribunal records, affidavits from both parties cited legal authorities and submissions presented before the court, the key issue for determination was whether the applicant had established sufficient grounds for the extension of time to file judicial review proceedings.

After analysing the arguments from both sides, the High Court agreed with the government on several issues, finding that the applicant had fully participated in the disciplinary proceedings.

The court noted that the records showed Mr Pazzi attended the hearings throughout the proceedings, cross-examined 11 prosecution witnesses, and also testified in his own defence.

The court therefore held that the applicant could not claim that he had been denied an opportunity to defend himself or denied a fair hearing during the disciplinary proceedings.

The court also found that the documents the applicant sought to tender as evidence were not rejected outright but were challenged on legal grounds and later disallowed as exhibits because of identified deficiencies.

Judge Magoiga explained that the rejection of evidence after it has been submitted is not equivalent to denying a party the opportunity to present evidence.

The court also dismissed the applicant’s argument that the IGP was obliged to summon him for a hearing during the appeal stage.

Under the Police Force Service Regulations, the IGP may determine an appeal based on available records without summoning the appellant unless there is fresh evidence requiring presentation.

However, the court agreed with the applicant’s argument regarding failure to personally serve him with the findings and decision of the disciplinary case.

Judge Magoiga stated that Regulation C.7 (5) of the 1995 Police Force Service Regulations clearly requires that the findings and decision of a disciplinary case must be personally served on the officer concerned.

In the matter before the court, the government explained that copies of the ruling and proceedings had been kept at the office of the Morogoro Regional Police Commander for the applicant to collect.

The court, however, held that the procedure did not comply with legal requirements because the responsibility to serve the documents rested with the relevant authorities and not with the applicant to collect them himself.

The court failed to personally serve the applicant with the proceedings and decision as required by law, Judge Magoiga said in his ruling.

The court added that the breach of the law raised an important legal issue capable of justifying an extension of time for filing judicial review proceedings.

The judge further observed that where an applicant demonstrates illegality or violation of the law, it is not always necessary to account in detail for every single day of delay before being granted additional time.

Consequently, the High Court exercised its discretion to allow the application and granted Mr Pazzi leave to file judicial review proceedings in accordance with the law.

South African artists are reportedly losing international performance opportunities as growing perceptions of xenophobia in the country begin to affect the arts, entertainment and wider economic relations across Africa.

Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi said some artists have had scheduled shows cancelled by organisers abroad, who cited concerns linked to South Africa’s reputation.

Kubayi said several performers had personally raised concerns with her over cancelled events across the continent, warning that the trend is affecting their income and the broader growth of the creative industry. She, however, dismissed claims that South Africa is a xenophobic nation, saying such perceptions are inaccurate and risk damaging diplomatic relations, tourism, trade and investment.

‘The perception that South Africans are xenophobic is not an accurate reflection of who we are,’ she was quoted as saying by local media.

The government has urged citizens to address immigration challenges strictly within the framework of the law, warning that unlawful actions and inflammatory rhetoric could have serious consequences for the country’s economy and international standing.

Officials said the negative perceptions are already influencing cultural exchanges and business confidence across the continent, where South Africa maintains strong creative and trade links.

Authorities have stepped up calls for tolerance and orderly migration management amid periodic outbreaks of anti-immigrant sentiment, urging citizens to protect the country’s regional image and economic interests.

Oryx Energies Tanzania has commended the government’s supportive investment climate, saying it has enabled the company to expand its operations beyond Dar es Salaam to other regions.

The company made the remarks on Monday, June 15, 2026, during the opening of a new fuel station in the Wazo area, Dar es Salaam, as part of its strategy to bring fuel and gas services closer to customers.

Speaking during the event, Oryx Energies Tanzania Managing Director, Mr Iman Mtafya, said the improved investment environment in the oil and gas sector had facilitated the expansion of energy services. ‘The environment created by the government through the Ministry of Energy gives investors strong support to expand services closer to citizens. In the energy sector, we are seeing how the Minister for Energy continues to encourage investment,’ he said.

He said the company had built a strong network of fuel stations and gas distribution channels, and remained committed to supporting government efforts to promote energy access.

‘The launch of this station is part of our strategy to bring services closer to customers,’ he said.

‘We are continuing to invest in different areas. We have started here in Wazo, and soon we will open another station in Dodoma, about 40 kilometres from the city. The goal is to ensure we reach customers wherever they are, including rural areas,’ he added.

Mr Mtafya stressed that the company prioritises safety, noting that the Wazo station was constructed using advanced technology.

He also said Oryx places strong emphasis on product quality and operates its own laboratory for fuel testing to ensure compliance with required standards.

CDT Oil and CDT Energies Managing Director, Mr Boniface Nasibu, who oversees fuel, lubricants, and gas operations at the station, said the company identified the area as suitable for investment due to its strategic location.

‘The station is close to Madale, where there are military farms, the Wazo cement factory, and surrounding residents. We are satisfied this is the right location to ensure people have access to fuel and cooking gas services,’ he said.

He assured customers of quality services and thanked Oryx for facilitating the investment.

Speaking on behalf of Wazo residents, Sheikh Amani Hamis said the opening of the station had improved access to fuel and gas services and created employment opportunities for local youth.

He also commended the government for creating an enabling environment for investors, saying it had enabled citizens to benefit from such investments.

Electric vehicle company Zera has unveiled plans to transform Tanzania’s transport sector through expanded electric mobility, wider charging infrastructure and increased adoption of electric vehicles.

The announcement was made here at the weekend by Zera Marketing Manager Samuel Masawe during the launch of an electric vehicle charging station in Dodoma, officiated by Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi.

Mr Masawe said the company has already deployed more than 2,000 electric vehicles in Dar es Salaam and is now expanding its infrastructure network to other regions. ‘Our goal is to address rising fuel costs by offering a practical alternative. Electricity is widely available and affordable in Tanzania, making electric mobility viable,’ he said.

He said the vehicles run entirely on electricity and do not require fuel or engine oil, reducing operating and maintenance costs. A full charge can cover up to 320 kilometres.

The company is working with the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) to expand charging infrastructure. It has already installed a station in Dar es Salaam along Samora Avenue, which can charge two vehicles at a time. Users can charge at home using standard electricity connections or use fast-charging stations.

Mr Masawe said plans are underway to establish a local assembly plant to reduce costs, create jobs and support skills transfer.

‘The assembly facility will lower ownership costs, create employment for young people and accelerate technology transfer,’ he said.

He acknowledged that limited charging infrastructure and range concerns remain challenges to wider adoption.

‘We are working with Tanesco to expand the network so charging stations become as accessible as fuel stations,’ he said.

Police in Mbeya Region, through a special anti-crime unit, have rescued a five-year-old boy, Razaki Mwakatundu, after he was found alive but abandoned in Kitulo Forest Reserve.

The child, a pre-primary pupil at Mwakimome Primary School, was allegedly abducted on Monday, June 1, 2026, in Katumba Songwe Ward, Kyela District, Mbeya Region.

It is reported that the child was playing with other children outside his home when his biological father allegedly took him away to an unknown destination. Mbeya Regional Police Commander Benjamin Kuzaga confirmed that the child was found on Monday, June 15, 2026.

‘The child was reported to have been abducted by a person believed to be his biological father while playing with other children before being taken to an unknown location,’ said Mr Kuzaga.

He said preliminary investigations indicate that the incident was linked to a family dispute in which the suspect allegedly demanded a refund of Sh500,000 paid as bride price after the child’s mother refused to marry him.

‘The act stemmed from dissatisfaction with the mother’s decision, which led the suspect to commit this unlawful act,’ he said.

Mr Kuzaga said that following a search operation launched after the report was filed, the child was found alive but abandoned in Kitulo Forest Reserve on the border of Mbeya and Njombe regions.

He said efforts to arrest the suspect are ongoing after he fled upon realising that police were pursuing him.

‘We will ensure the suspect is arrested and brought before the court to face legal action,’ he said.

He also urged parents and guardians to avoid taking the law into their own hands through child abduction in family disputes, warning that such acts endanger children and create panic in society.

In a separate incident, police in Mbeya Region are holding Mr Idd Hussein, a resident of Kimara in Dar es Salaam, for allegedly trafficking 30 kilogrammes of cannabis.

Mr Kuzaga said the suspect was arrested on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at about 7:30 pm at Mafiga Police Checkpoint in Kusare Ward, Unyakyusa Division, Kyela District.

He said the cannabis was packed into 13 bundles and concealed in a large plastic bag and a backpack.

‘Preliminary investigations show the suspect is a trafficker and seller of narcotics, and he will be taken to court at any time,’ he said.

A resident of Kasumulu in Kyela District, Ms Jane Amos, praised the police for the seizure and called for intensified efforts to curb drug trafficking to protect young people from drug abuse.

Former director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has welcomed the recently announced US-Iran peace agreement, arguing that Washington should reconsider its military and intelligence support to Israel if it wants the deal to succeed.

Kent made the remarks in a post on X after the United States and Iran reached a preliminary agreement aimed at ending months of hostilities and reducing tensions across the Middle East.

The agreement, announced by US President Donald Trump, is expected to be formally signed later this week following mediation efforts involving Pakistan and other regional actors. “We can strengthen our chances of this deal holding by cutting all military/intel assistance to Israel,” Kent wrote, according to reports citing his social media post.

Kent also suggested that the United States should reposition some of its military forces away from bases within Iran’s range, arguing that such moves would reduce the risk of renewed conflict and improve the prospects for diplomacy.

His comments come as the US and Iran seek to implement a ceasefire framework that includes halting military operations, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and beginning broader negotiations on unresolved issues, including sanctions and regional security arrangements.

The agreement has been welcomed by several international actors but has also faced criticism from some Israeli politicians and security analysts who argue that it does not adequately address concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme and support for regional armed groups.

Kent has been one of the most prominent critics of Washington’s military confrontation with Iran. In March, he resigned as head of the National Counterterrorism Center, saying he believed Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States and arguing that the conflict had been influenced by pressure from Israel and its supporters in Washington.

Speaking after his resignation, Kent said there was no intelligence indicating that Iran was preparing an imminent attack on the United States. He also questioned the strategic wisdom of further military escalation, warning that the conflict could draw American forces deeper into a prolonged regional war.

The peace initiative has nevertheless generated cautious optimism among diplomats and international observers. President Trump described the agreement as the beginning of a “new era” in relations between Washington and Tehran, while officials involved in the talks said the deal could help stabilise global energy markets and reduce the risk of a wider regional conflict.

Despite the breakthrough, analysts warn that significant challenges remain.

Key issues, including Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions relief and regional security arrangements, are still to be negotiated during a 60-day implementation and verification period.

The agreement’s long-term success may also depend on the actions of regional actors, particularly Israel and Iran-backed groups operating across the Middle East.

Members of the House of Representatives have said that for the government budget to be implemented without reliance on donors, there is a need to increase domestic revenue collection through efficient systems, while ensuring economic growth reflects the real living conditions of citizens.

They made the remarks on June 15, 2026, while contributing to the main government budget during the House of Representatives session held on Monday, June 15, 2026, at Chukwani, Unguja in Zanzibar.

For the 2026/27 financial year, the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar plans to spend Sh8.5 trillion.

Special Seats Representative, Ms Mariam Said Khamis, CCM, said that despite significant progress in economic growth, there is still a need to further strengthen the economy so that its benefits are felt by ordinary citizens.

‘The economy is growing, but we still need to accelerate growth so that it is reflected in the lives of ordinary citizens, unlike the current situation,’ said Ms Khamis.

She said that to achieve this and improve revenue collection, it is important to enhance technology that would significantly reduce loopholes leading to revenue losses.

Speaking on public debt, she said that although it remains sustainable, the government must ensure borrowed funds are used strictly for intended development projects and not diverted into the hands of a few individuals.

She also stressed that economic growth requires strong private sector participation, urging the government to continue improving the business and investment environment to attract more private investment, which would in turn create jobs for young people.

Malindi Representative Abdughani Ismail Zuberi, CCM, called on the government to identify new tax sources, including introducing taxation for digital platforms.

He also urged the Zanzibar Revenue Authority (ZRA) to develop a new mobile application system to enable traders to file returns via mobile phones instead of computers or machines, arguing that current systems are costly and discourage compliance.

‘Simplifying tax payment and developing mobile applications will allow people to use phones instead of computers. This will widen the tax base,’ he said.

On technology, he noted that Zanzibar is still lagging behind and will struggle to achieve its development goals without greater investment in the sector.

Paje Representative, Mr Jaku Hashim Ayubu, CCM, said there are still too many taxes, which are burdening citizens, especially small and growing businesses.

He also said that if taxes at airports have been removed, then the government should also consider removing port charges for passengers, as many ordinary citizens use sea transport rather than air travel.

‘The burden of taxes is too high. The government must look at this more carefully, especially for small entrepreneurs who are being held back by these charges,’ he said.

Special Seats Representative, Ms Zainab Khamis Shomar, CCM, said that while the budget is well-intentioned and includes tax increases on products such as nail and hair products, it should clearly specify how much will be added to each category, as they vary widely.

She also argued that just as taxes at airports have been removed, port charges should also be abolished, noting that many citizens rely more on sea transport than air travel.

‘If the aim is to reduce hardship, then we should also ease pressure on boat transport. This five percent charge should be removed just like it was done for air travel,’ she said.

She added that the gender-responsive budget disbursed in the previous financial year stood at Sh22 billion out of the Sh71 billion allocated, equivalent to 38 per cent, and therefore called for greater emphasis on full implementation.

Ms Aza January Joseph, also a Special Seats Member, CCM, urged the government to reduce health inspection costs for food vendors (mama lishe) to enable them to operate safely while easing their tax burden.

Committee views

Presenting the Budget Committee’s views, Chairperson Ali Suleiman Ameir said that although the government has increased taxes on selected imported goods to protect local products and boost revenue, it should ensure these measures go hand in hand with strengthening domestic production.

He also urged the government to provide a detailed assessment showing how the measures have helped reduce imports of such goods and increase local production.

As of March 2026, Zanzibar’s public debt stood at Sh3 trillion, comprising domestic debt of Sh2.987 trillion and external debt of Sh1.4 trillion.

Overall, the debt-to-GDP ratio of Sh6.572 trillion stands at 40.63 percent.

‘The committee urges the government to strengthen domestic revenue collection to reduce reliance on external loans and grants, as well as improve efficiency in revenue management,’ he said.

The committee further recommended that loans be repaid on time to avoid rising interest costs and safeguard the sustainability of financial institutions.

Mr Ameir said the committee also urged the government to ensure that the growth of public debt remains aligned with repayment capacity by strengthening revenue and expenditure management, and maintaining debt sustainability within the acceptable threshold of 55 percent of GDP.

Regarding government guarantees worth Sh300 billion issued to various public institutions, the committee recommended that clear conditions and criteria be established before issuing such guarantees, including ensuring timely repayment of loans and productive use of funds.

Tanzania is seeking to transform itself from a major importer of medicines into a leading pharmaceutical manufacturing hub, with the government investing in industrial parks designed to produce medicines, vaccines and medical equipment for both domestic and export markets.

At the centre of the strategy is a 400-acre pharmaceutical industrial park under development at Mloganzila in Dar es Salaam, part of President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s broader vision to strengthen local production and reduce dependence on imports.

The initiative comes as African countries seek to build health security following lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic, which exposed the continent’s heavy reliance on imported medicines and medical supplies. One of the flagship projects is the upgraded TPI pharmaceutical plant in Arusha, which is being modernised to meet international manufacturing standards and secure World Health Organisation prequalification, enabling its products to compete in global markets.

Chief Government Pharmacist Daudi Msasi said maintaining international quality standards would be key to the sector’s success.

‘We want products manufactured in Tanzania to compete with those produced anywhere in the world. That is achievable if we maintain international standards,’ he said.

Economists say expanding local pharmaceutical production could reduce pressure on foreign exchange reserves, create jobs, boost tax revenues and open new export markets.

However, public health experts stress that industrial growth must be matched by continued investment in disease prevention, vaccination, nutrition, clean water and sanitation to improve long-term health outcomes.

As pharmaceutical facilities take shape in Mloganzila, Kibaha and Bagamoyo, Tanzania is positioning itself to play a larger role in Africa’s healthcare and industrial landscape while strengthening economic resilience through strategic investment in the health sector.

TÜV Rheinland announces the expansion of its authorized service scope under the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) Program to include Greater China.

Commenting on this development, Mr. Fares Naouri, Senior Vice President Government Inspections and International Trade (GIIT), stated:

“The expansion of our Tanzania PVoC coverage to Greater China marks another important step in our commitment to facilitating safe and compliant trade. As one of the world’s largest manufacturing and export hubs, China plays a vital role in supplying products to the Tanzanian market. Through our global expertise and local presence, we are well positioned to support exporters in meeting Tanzania’s regulatory requirements while ensuring consumer protection and product quality.”

TÜV Rheinland’s extensive network of technical experts, inspection offices, laboratories, and digital certification platforms enables efficient delivery of PVoC services across multiple regions. The addition of Greater China further reinforces the organization’s ability to support businesses navigating international trade requirements and market access procedures.

Mrs. Valerie Wagner, Head of New Markets and Global Projects – GIIT, added:

“This expansion reflects the confidence placed in TÜV Rheinland’s global capabilities and operational excellence. By extending our services to Greater China, we can provide manufacturers, exporters, and importers with seamless conformity assessment solutions that contribute to smoother trade flows and greater compliance assurance.
