Last week I was driving around Dar with a friend visiting from Kigali. First time in Tanzania. Sis was excited. She wanted zege, nyamachoma, beach vibes, amapiano nights, the full Dar experience.
Dar es Salaam offers almost no public trash bins, a gap exposed when a visitor from clean Kigali couldn't find one during a city tour. Strong household cleanliness paired with absent public waste infrastructure points to an urban governance problem, not a culture one.
