Development should also let the people be guided by their cultural and traditional norms which they have chosen and which are important to them in bringing their society together. It should also allow them to follow up their traditional values and worship or believe in what they consider as important to them. In cultural beliefs, development includes the production of traditional crops and respecting inter personal relationship taboos which have been built since time immemorial. Culturally development involves the freedom to communicate in traditional language and interaction of property and use of resources. It also means enjoying and being entertained in customary festivals which are designed by the society and have specific aims. If there isn’t the freedom to enjoy and celebrate all these, the people can’t be said to have any meaningful development. And especially if there isn’t the freedom to think independently, there can never be any development in that society. Many development programmes in our country fail because of not giving due respect and recognition to cultural ways of life. Tanzanians must struggle to sustain this phenomenon.
