Legal Update – 12 November 2025
I’m a university student in Dodoma. Last month, I fainted during a football match and was rushed to a nearby hospital. When I woke up, I learned that the doctors had performed a minor surgical procedure to stop internal bleeding. I was shocked because I had never signed a consent form or spoken to anyone. […]
Two years ago, police officers raided my brother’s house in a village after an informer told them he was hiding bhangi. They found two sacks of dried leaves inside. He was later charged with trafficking in narcotic drugs and sentenced to thirty years in prison. What confuses our family is that my brother has no […]

I am an emerging fashion designer in Tanzania, and my latest eco-conscious clothing line has gained significant attention both locally and online.

One of the country’s leading labels is eager […]
I am a law-abiding citizen and my face has never been photoshopped unless you count that one time my daughter posted our photo with a Snapchat filter.

I live in Mbeya and our neighbour constantly burns plastic and rubbish near our houses, creating smoke and a bad smell. We tried asking him to stop, but he says it is his right since it’s his compound. Can he really burn waste as he wishes on his property? Please guide us, we are suffering […]

I am a motorcycle driver commonly known as a boda boda. Last week I carried a passenger who had been dropped off at a bus stop since traffic was heavy that morning. On the way, he lamented having to wake up early to arrive at work on time, and sometimes he is forced to abandon the […]

Prophesied wealth, still broke Early this year, my spiritual leader predicted that 2025 would be my ‘year of open doors.’ He said I would buy a car, get married, and move into my own house. He then told me to ‘sow a seed of faith’ of at least TZS 500,000 to unlock these blessings. I […]

Technical delay in taxation I am a foreigner running a marketing company in Tanzania, and I am unfamiliar with Tanzanian law. We appealed against a significant tax assessment by the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). Our first case did not go well. We were unsuccessful at both the Tax Revenue Appeal Board and Tribunal. Consequently, we […]
I was at a football match last weekend, and after our team missed a penalty, I let out a burst of angry words. These words were not pleasant, and a fight almost broke out because even my team’s supporters disliked them. A police officer nearby told me to cool down and mind my language or […]
I run a large beverage manufacturing company in Morogoro that produces soft drinks under a certain brand. A few years ago, when I started my business, I noticed that a Ugandan company had a similar brand name registered at The African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO)and used it in their home market. I did not […]
My friend recently sent me a video of a politician apparently admitting to corruption. Later, I found out that the video was not real but had been created using Artificial Intelligence (AI), which people call a ‘deepfake’. This scared me, because it looked so real and many people had already shared it online. I am […]
National emblem as profile photo I recently updated my social media profile and thought it would be patriotic to use the coat of arms as my profile picture.

I usually sell food and drinks outside football stadiums on match days. Recently, city officials instructed us to pack up, stating that we were operating illegally and blocking access.
