TANZANIA Telecommunication Corporation Limited (TTCL) is set to embark on country-wide campaigns, in form of the entertainment concert, from 31th of the next week, aimed at extending its services to all Tanzanians, especially in rural areas.

Katavi Region will be the first campaign beneficiary, following Rukwa and Kigoma regions, said the Corporation Director General, Mr Waziri Kindaba yesterday in Dar es Salaam.
The Corporate boss admitted that, earlier, TTCL faced lot of challenges including very limited coverage, scarcity of air time vouchers while its simcards were only functioning in smart phones.
“All those problems have already been solved. Sim cards are now compatible with any kind of the gadget and our partners will be part of the festival, offering among others, affordable mobile phones. We want every Tanzanian to be connected with the world through our services,” he said, adding that: Themed “Rudi nyumban iKumenoga” the festival will be accompanied by the artists, namely Ms Zena Mohamed, commonly known as Shilole and Mr Aslay Isiaka, also known as Dogo Asley.
Entry fee will be the registered TTCL sim card. The Corporate signed the contract of the agreement with the artist Ms Shilole with the latter (Shilole) assuring to obey and respect the agreement.
The DG stressed that all TTCL sim cards are free, warning that whoever found selling them will face stern legal punishments. Having visited all regions- Tanzanian Main Land and Zanzibar, an exercise which is scheduled to take not less than three months, the next session will be visiting every District, according to Mr Kindamba.
“It is step by step, from regional to Ward level. We want every Tanzanian to retain the trust with this State communication Corporation as it is for everybody regardless neither her/his financial status nor location or distance. Every kind of service will be available during the concert,” he stressed.
