This has created a demand for Kiswahili instructors, an opportunity that has to be taped by Tanzania as we own the language,\u201d he said, noting that some countries with few Kiswahili speakers are already rushing for the opportunity He was of the view that the country is rich in diploma, degree, masters and PhD holders in Kiswahili but some of them are jobless.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Abdulla also challenged Kiswahili institutes such as Zanzibar Kiswahili Council (BAKIZA) to ensure SADC member states hire teachers from Tanzania. The second vice president also argued that many Tanzanians have little knowledge on SADC and its benefits to them. He said there is a need for wananchi to understand the SADC history and the roles played by Tanzania in its formation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we discuss 40 years of SADC we must come up with solutions to various challenges that face the block. We must also look into ways on how Zanzibar could incorporate blue economy policy in speeding up economic growth,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation- Zanzibar Ambassador Masoud Balozi Masoud commended SUZA for hosting the symposium, saying similar meetings to mark the 40 years of SADC has be organized in all members states and the climax is scheduled for June 5,20021 in Maputo- Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>He said Tanzania has special recognition in the SADC because it played a great role in the struggle for independence in the region and Africa at large.<\/p>\n<p>According to the SADC Executive Secretary, Dr Stergomena Lawrence Tax, peace and security, political stability, solidarity, establishment of a free trade area and increasing intra-regional trade are some of the major achievements in Southern Africa over the past 40 years, the Southern African Development Community (SADC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
