Tanzania Highlights Economic Gains from $10 Billion Investment in Standard Gauge Railway Alison Marsh Nov 2, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Tanzania outlines economic benefits after investing $10 billion in SGR Tanzania has highlighted the economic advantages it has achieved from its $10 billion investment in the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which started operations in June. Built by the Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC), this 2,561-kilometer modern rail network links Dar es Salaam to Mwanza, Kigoma, Katavi, and neighboring countries including Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and the DRC. Since June, the segment between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma has transported 645,421 passengers and generated Sh15.695 billion in revenue, according to Prof Kitila Mkumbo, Minister of State in the President’s Office for Planning and Investment . Prof Mkumbo presented the proposed Development Plan for 2025/26, emphasizing that the SGR is reducing transport costs and times, attracting investment, and enhancing domestic and international trade. Tanzania aims to become a key logistics and transportation hub in East and Southern Africa. The project has created over 30,000 direct jobs and more than 150,000 indirect jobs since construction began in 2017. Travel time between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma has been reduced from around ten hours by bus to three and a half hours by train, a shift Mkumbo described as a significant boost for both personal and commercial transport. Powered by electricity, the SGR contributes to road safety and environmental sustainability. Additionally, it has driven demand for local materials like cement and steel, bolstering the manufacturing sector. Currently, 2,460 companies are contracted on the project, representing contracts worth Sh3.69 trillion. The SGR also facilitates efficient cross-border cargo movement, supporting international trade. Since 2023, 519 investment projects have been established along the SGR route, attracting $4.59 billion in capital and creating over 115,000 jobs. Prof Mkumbo noted that the railway is not just a mode of transport but a gateway to stronger economic growth and Tanzania’s vision of becoming a regional logistics powerhouse.

World's Second-Largest Diamond Unearthed in Botswana Mbeki edmond Aug 22, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link The massive 2,492-carat diamond recently discovered at the Karowe mine in Botswana, the second-largest diamond ever found. The second-largest diamond ever discovered, a massive 2,492-carat rough stone, has been unearthed in Botswana at the Karowe mine. This remarkable find was made by Canadian firm Lucara Diamond, marking a historic moment for Botswana, one of the world's leading diamond producers. The discovery of this extraordinary stone is the most significant find since the 1905 discovery of the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond in South Africa, which was later cut into nine stones, many of which now form part of the British Crown Jewels. Located approximately 500 kilometers (300 miles) north of Gaborone, Botswana's capital, the Karowe mine has produced large diamonds before. The previous largest diamond discovered in Botswana was a 1,758-carat stone found at the same mine in 2019. However, this latest find surpasses that, making it the largest diamond ever uncovered in the southern African country. Botswana plays a crucial role in the global diamond industry, accounting for roughly 20% of the world's diamond production. The government expressed excitement over this latest discovery, which further strengthens the nation's reputation as a major player in the industry. Lucara Diamond, which owns 100% of the Karowe mine, has expressed its elation over the find. "We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond," said William Lamb, the head of Lucara. While the company did not provide specific details regarding the stone's gem quality or potential value, its significance is already clear. The diamond was detected using Lucara's Mega Diamond Recovery X-ray technology, a system implemented in 2017 to ensure high-value diamonds remain intact during the ore-crushing process. This cutting-edge technology has been pivotal in preserving the integrity of significant finds like this one. In the backdrop of these monumental discoveries, Botswana's government has proposed a new law that would require mining companies to sell a 24% stake to local firms if the government does not exercise its option of becoming a shareholder. This legislation aims to further integrate local interests into the country's booming diamond industry, ensuring that the wealth generated from such discoveries benefits Botswana's economy. This discovery reaffirms Botswana's position as a leader in the global diamond market, enhancing the country's legacy of producing some of the largest and most valuable diamonds in history.
