CENTURY OLD TREE COLLAPSES

The almost century old tree, close to Shia Ithnasheria Mosque (built 1889), collapsed after heavy rain recently.

Observe the roots of the tree known as Mtamba, which do not seem to have penetrated deeper as is common in other species of trees. Normally children play under the shade of the tree and sometimes boat builders are also seen under this tree. Fortunately no one was there when the tree collapsed in the early morning hours.

The Ithnasheria Mosque built in 1889 during the German reign of Tanganyika or at that time known by the Colonialists as Deutch Osta Afrika.

The Swedish financed road, running parallel to the Bagamoyo District Hospital, was blocked for almost two days. No body is reported to have been injured.
