Mwanza. Minister for Minerals Anthony Mavunde has said Tanzanians are increasingly taking leading roles in the mining sector, occupying key positions in mining companies, employment and leadership, a development he said demonstrates the success of the local content policy.
Speaking on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, while opening the Fifth Local Content Compliance Forum (LCCF) in the Mining Sector here, Mr Mavunde said the current situation was different from previous years when Tanzanians had limited opportunities to participate in mining operations.
He said there had been widespread complaints from citizens over their exclusion from the sector, with even basic supplies such as food being imported despite their availability locally.
