Maharuky Sulaiman has seen it all on his road to success; now he is constantly on the road, cruising in his big lorry on the roads in Oman, the truck he bought when he decided he wanted to be in the driving seat of his life. He is his boss now, but throughout his life, he has leapt from one employment to another in search of a better life.
Maharuky was born in historical and culturally rich Tabora in central Tanzania and later relocated to Oman, the country on the southeastern coast of the Arabian peninsula, a popular destination for East Africans seeking employment in the labour market. Maharuky joined the Oman police in 1979 and left in 1986, joining the private security sector and later venturing into other professions before buying his truck and living his life on the road as a sole proprietor.
