The Mayor of Mtwara-Mikindani Municipality, Hon. Shadida Ndile, recently presented an overview of the notable developmental progress achieved in Mtwara District.

Celebrating 63 Years of Independence
On 9 December 2024, Mayor Ndile delivered a speech at a special debate held at the Public Service College Hall in Mtwara to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of Tanzania Mainland’s Independence. The event was held on a district-wide basis, with the objective of encouraging reflection on the nation’s progress.
The Role of Good Governance
Mayor Ndile highlighted that the developmental achievements in Mtwara are the result of effective governance and the robust leadership foundations established by previous administrations. She encouraged citizens, particularly the younger generation, to understand the historical context behind these developments.
Encouraging Historical Awareness
Mayor Ndile urged the younger generation to refrain from self-congratulation regarding economic, political and social progress and instead reflect on the historical context that has shaped these achievements.
She emphasised the value of grasping the country’s historical context to gain a full appreciation of its achievements.
Teaching the Youth
The objective of the debate was to provide an educational opportunity for young people to gain insight into the country’s history, with the intention of ensuring that this knowledge is effectively transferred to future generations. Mayor Ndile emphasised the value of preserving the nation’s history as a foundation for continued progress.
Economic Opportunities for Youth
Mayor Ndile also advised groups receiving ten percent loans from the Council to leverage this opportunity to enhance their economic standing. She urged them to leverage these resources to enhance their own capabilities and contribute to the district’s growth.
Protecting Children During Holidays
During the holiday period, Mayor Ndile emphasised the importance of safeguarding children and preventing them from engaging in risky activities. He encouraged parents to consider traditions and customs in their upbringing as a means of ensuring the safety of their children.
Acknowledging Leadership in Health Sector
The Secretary of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Mtwara Urban, Fadhili Mrami, extended his congratulations to President Samia Suluhu Hassan for her contributions to the improvement of the district’s health sector infrastructure. This recognition underscores the government’s ongoing commitment to enhancing public services in Mtwara.
In conclusion, the developmental steps in Mtwara demonstrate the significant impact of effective governance and strong leadership. As the district continues to develop, it is vital to recognise and celebrate the contributions of past leaders and to educate the younger generation about the country’s rich history.
