Hi fellow Tanzanians. I have a rolex watch. This watch was inherited so I dont have any box or receipt or paper work for it. I was told that this watch is genuine and bought from dubai. Currently I used google lens and chatgpt it showed its legit but this is not accurate obviously, now I want to take the watch and authenticate and confirm thats its an original can someone suggest a place in DARESSALAAM where they do this.

Kindly advice.

I created an app using flutterflow and I would like to hire a developer to handle it and help make more features.

Please reply if you have experience with flutter (dart), you have experience with flutterflow or you believe you can do it. Thank you!!

For a tourist with road, gravel or MTB bike that would be safe enough from traffic, predators and robbery. Good scenery. Can be cycling events.

I just finished my finals three weeks ago and i got a job from one of the well known marketing agencies in TZ. Today, i got a call for a scheduled interview at a bank this Friday, Azania to be precise.
Where i currently work is challenging but I’m very adaptable and flexible, i like it to be honest despite it being only my third week working here.

If i get the banking job, what job do you think i should choose? Given the fact that i have no knowledge about banking but it’s the same as marketing too but I’m learning

Hello all. My husband and I got married 2 years ago and, well, our lives finally settled down for us to book a honeymoon. We booked Tanzania for 7 days (including safari and the hot air balloon rides) and Zanzibar for 3 days (relaxing, snorkeling, maybe scuba diving). With our trip 2 weeks away, we just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, my GYN isn't able to see me until AFTER our trip, and since I'm a new patient with no established history- she's not able to answer my questions either. I'm up to date on vaccines, I started my anti-malarial today (safe for pregnancy), and I was just wondering if anyone has been there, and was in the same situation as me. Did you take any additional precautions? Did you still do the hot air balloon? Any advice??

**Please don't comment that I should cancel my plans because I've read plenty of posts, and articles that it is perfectly fine to travel there at this point-- I'd appreciate advice on how people in my shoes enjoyed/dealt with this situation**

THANK YOU

Hello im 24M from Zimbabwe. I have a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and a year of experience in Procurement. Im looking for work in Tanzania. The reason why I have chosen Tanzania is because my country has poor employment chances especially for fresh graduates. South Africa is an option but government is tightening foreigner employment. Botswana seems like a good option especially in Mining not sure about the chances of getting a job.

I don't plan to stay in Tanzania forever, I just need a little push at an engineering company. How favourable is Tanzania as an option please be honest. The last post I made had few engagement.

I'm not in accounting or bookkeeping myself, so apologies if this is a basic question to people who do this daily. I'm just trying to understand the real workflow.

Let's say a client hands you a bank statement as a PDF and you need the transactions in Excel to actually work with them. What do you actually do?

manually copy/paste,

hand it to a junior,

use some Excel/PDF trick,

use a PDF to Excel website,

use an online bank-statement converter,

use your own script, or something else entirely?

I'm especially curious what happens with 50, 100, or 300+ page statements. My guess is converting the PDF isn't the hard part. But knowing the conversion is actually correct is the real deal.

For example things like;

wrapped descriptions,

swapped debit/credit columns,

a missing Cr/Dr indicator,

balances that don't reconcile,

one missed transaction that makes the whole spreadsheet questionable.

Am I even thinking about the right failure points, or is the real pain somewhere else entirely?

What's the most annoying part of this for you? And roughly how long does a typical 50 to 100 page statement take to turn into clean, usable Excel ?

Also I'm curious about which banks you deal with the most: CRDB, NMB, NBC, Stanbic, Equity, Exim, Absa, or others?

Genuinely just trying to learn how this works in practice, would appreciate hearing the real workflow, and annoying challenges included.

Thank your for your time in advance.

South African here 👋🏾 (33F) I just discovered Jesse Clarke, the British content creator guy living in Tanzania.

I went down the rabbit hole on some of his content. I'm in two minds about this guy...

On one hand; as an African woman I really appreciate how he speaks out against Female Genital Mutilation in Eastern Africa, as well as the fact that he made the effort to learn Swahili and engage local communities in Tanzania. It's more than most tourists do - he's clearly very fond of the culture and the people. He also seems like a decent family man...

On the other hand; there's something about him I just don't trust. For one, he has 'sinister eyes' (I'm aware of how dumb this sounds but it really stands out to me). I also scrolled really deep down on his Instagram page and discovered that... he's a Trump supporter! 😕 (which just confirms my suspicion that there's something ominious about him) How does a white man who's made the decision to live in Africa, among black people reconcile his chosen surroundings with his support of a bigot like Trump?!

I fully understand how and why Trump appeals to white men - he protects their interests, he speaks for them and he operates with the main objective that everything should always benefit the white man. I get it! But what I'm astounded by is how Jesse Clarke, a white man married to a black woman with mixed race kids, supports a guy like that. I'm legitimately concerned that's he's one of those white men who's such a raging racist that in order to advance his white supremacist agenda and simultaneously hide his beliefs, he's infiltrated a community as an 'ally' simply so he can slowly and strategically espouse his racist beliefs. All the while claiming he could never be racist because his wife and kids are black and that he's done so much for the community... I'm sorry but I don't trust this man!!!!!!!! Supporting Trump is not a mere political preference, it's actually a major moral failure in my eyes.

Anyway, the reason I'm bringing this to Reddit is that, I'm never going to leave hateful, nasty comments on his content but I really want to get a read on this guy... What do Tanzanians think of this man?

*I really hope I'm wrong about him 🤞🏽

Will be going to zanzibar and i would want to know the best telcom provider airtel or vodacom?

​Hey guys I'm a F 25yrs old, I don't know what I'm doing with my life & it feels like I will regret it if I don't come out of my shell & work on myself, so I'm looking for friends at this point I don't care about the age I just want to be around people that are gonna help me come out my shell think outside the box, help me overcome my social anxiety, friend that have a good mindset ​anyone that can mentor me,

I know this may sound like being a burden to someone else, or people will say you should try and start holding yourself accountable & whatsoever

I've tried but I just keep falling back to my old self plus I really want to socialize more. Currently I am unemployed I've been staying indoors so much that nowadays when somebody even says "Mambo" to me I start thinking about the answer,my speech is slowly fading, my mind goes blank trying to talk to strangers sometime.... I have so much social anxiety😭

I need friends, community with people with a good mindset not just any community / friends, I wanna change my life and I believe making this first step is necessary since opportunities come through people. I don't wanna get old and regret wasting my prime, I'm scared of facing ​people, I'm scared of facing opportunities, I'm scared almost of everything. I wanna change that about myself. I want friends people that can help me change that

I welcome any advice too.
