According to the Ruvuma Regional Secretariat, Energy Minister Dr. Juma Zuberi Homera handed over two vehicles—a firefighting vehicle and a TANESCO vehicle—to the residents of Namtumbo Constituency.
Speaking on October 24, 2026, at the Site Trust Nishati Safi Marathon 2026, Dr. Homera explained that residents previously faced the challenge of waiting for fire services to arrive from Songea, which delayed responses during emergencies.
The report stated that residents of Lusewa previously had to travel more than 100 kilometres to access TANESCO technical services, but that those services are now being brought closer to them.
According to the source, the vehicles will boost service efficiency in the villages of Magazini, Msisima, Lusewa, Ligela, and Kaole, as well as neighbouring areas, narrowing the distance between the public and essential services.
Enhancements in public utility and emergency infrastructure in neighbouring Namtumbo reflect broader efforts across Ruvuma Region to decentralise essential services and protect communities. This is TCDI context, not a statement by the source, and does not mean TCDI took part in what is reported.
