Dar es Salaam. On Thursday, October 2, 2025, shortly after performing the Asr prayer at Mjimwema Mosque in Kigamboni, I received a call from a close associate informing me that I had been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of Usafiri Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit Company (Udart).
Moments later, my phone was inundated with congratulatory messages, mixed with sympathetic ones, from friends, colleagues and various groups.
