Tanzanians pay dearly as tenants in flood-prone slum
But for Mageni and other residents of Jangwani and nearby slums, the threat of flooding, lack of services and insecure tenancy are just part of life in Tanzania’s biggest city.
One of the fastest-growing cities in East Africa, Dar es Salaam has seen a huge influx of rural migrants in recent years, putting extra pressure on its strained housing supply and forcing poorer residents like Megani to move to the periphery.
The steep cost of building a home, the shortage of houses to rent and lack of a legal mechanism to regulate rent have allowed landlords to charge exorbitant rents
in a city where almost 75 percent of residents are tenants, according to a 2011 housing study by the government.

Mageni, who moved to Dar es Salaam from the drought-hit central region of Singida in search of work,
is one of around 800,000 residents forced to live in slums in the city because they cannot pay high rents charged elsewhere.
Mageni pays 70,000 shillings ($32) a month for a small, two-bed roomed house in Jangwani.
“Most house owners charge on an annual basis, which most people find very hard (as they can’t) accumulate the money,” he said.
“Some families opt to stay in single rooms because they can’t afford to pay for a whole house. I don’t like staying here (Jangwani), but it is too expensive to rent a good house.
