THE Dar es Salaam Special Zone has beefed up security in the region as it deploys personnel to maintain law and order before, during, and after Christmas and New Year
It has also repeated the ban on use of
firecrackers and designated a special place at Tanganyika Packers
grounds at Kawe Road to be used by those who wish to lit fireworks for
30 minutes during the celebrations and not otherwise.
Speaking to reporters in Dar es Salaam,
the Special Zone Police Commander, Lazaro Mambosasa, said a special team
has been prepared and will be deployed on the streets to prevent
miscreants from having their way.
“There will also be police mobile
stations to make sure everyone is safe and security will also be beefed
up in seashores for families to have peaceful moments around such
areas,” he noted.
The Zonal Commander has also repeated
the ban on children disco parties popularly known as ‘Disco Toto’ around
the city, where according to him, research conducted in several venues
indicates that none of them were suitable for conducting such
celebrations for safety reasons. He said during the festive season there
have been a number of incidents that cause a big number of children to
lose lives due to the poor venues used for Disco Toto in the region.
Mr Mambosasa has called on the public to
provide the police with prompt reports of any suspicious activities

The RPC said the incident occurred at
Vijibweni, Mbagala area where the suspects in question were on duty, and
that after they were questioned they admitted to have sold it for
2.5mil/- to one person identified as Kitanga in Ilala.
