Currently, due to the lack of technology, Tanzania is forced to export raw gold to Dubai or Swaziland for refining.<\/p>\n<p>The factory\u2019s inauguration would be part of a series of activities that President Samia is scheduled to officiate in during her three-day tour of Mwanza region.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Samia is also scheduled to inaugurate two newly-built cargo and passenger ships as part of the government\u2019s efforts to improve waterway transport in the Lake Zone regions.<\/p>\n<p>The president will on the other hand lay the foundation stone for the construction of the fifth lot of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).<\/p>\n<p>The government has awarded the contract for the construction of the 341km Mwanza \u2013 Isaka SGR to a partnership of China Civil Engineering Construction (CCEC) and China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC).<\/p>\n<p>The north-south line will link the Port of Mwanza on Lake Victoria to the southern town of Isaka.<\/p>\n<p>The project is intended to create an international route connecting Tanzania\u2019s eastern port of Dar es Salaam, via the Tanzanian interior, with two western branches splitting at Isaka.<\/p>\n<p>While in Mwanza, President Samia will also address youths, as part of a series of her meetings with different groups in the country. She met with the country\u2019s women yesterday in the capital Dodoma, having previously met with elders in Dar es Salaam region.<\/p>\n<p>The president would also inaugurate major water projects, worth 13.7bn\/- in Misungwi district. It was further noted that, during her tour, the president will also inspect the on-going construction of the Magufuli Bridge at Kigongo Busisi.<\/p>\n<p>President Samia will use the tour to address wananchi in one of the country\u2019s highly populated regions, Mwanza, for the first time since assuming the presidency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
