8.4 Million Tanzanians Skip Meals daily


Some 8.4 million Tanzanians skip meals daily to cope with biting economic hardships, according to findings of a new survey.

The social, political and Economic Barometer ( SPEC) indicates that 17.2 million people have also drastically reduced expenditure on essential
households items in response to spiralling prices of basic commodities.

The findings were released yesterday at news conference in Dar Es Salaam by media group named Synovate Tanzania ( formerly Steadman Group) to determine the levels and standards of living among Tanzanians.

As 'elite' comes up with this alarming statistics, the reality reveals a different picture and only if our world could be a little bit flatter the situation could be colorful. The recent reports show that at Rukwa region peasants are desperate seeking a permission from the goverment to be allowed to offload extra tons of maize produce to neighbouring Zambia. Apparantely, folks at Musoma district survives on bushy mangoes.
