Sanura Sandra Kassim, the mother to Tanzanian singer and Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB) CEO Diamond Platnumz is in cloud nine. This is after her son cumulatively hit 1 billion views on YouTube.

Taking to her Instagram account in celebration, Kassim tooted her son’s horn saying the milestone was proof of his star power; a deserving nod to The Boy from Tandale, arguably Bongo Flava’s most well-known artist.

“Kwa kweli tunawashukuru sana mashabiki zetu. Nyinyi ndio mmefanikisha hili. Tunawaomba muendelee kutusupport…
"Nyota wa muziki barani Afrika na duniani Simba Diamond Platnumz amezidi kudhirisha ukubwa wake baada ya kufikisha zaidi ya watazamaji bilioni 1 katika channel yake ya YouTube,” stated Kassim.

According to Kassim, Platnumz was living true to his Simba moniker backed by his mind-blowing 3.6 million subscribers and reigning supreme as the king of views south of the Sahara, in a career spanning over 10 years.

“Hatua hiyo inamfanya Simba kuwa ni msanii wa kwanza kufikia mafanikio hayo makubwa kusini mwa jangwa la sahara, na kua mmoja kati ya wasanii wachache wenye idadi hiyo ya watazamaji duniani," she added.

Taking a cue from Billboard that a week ago revealed that Platnumz amassed about 80% of his YouTube views from fans outside of Tanzania, she buttressed his claim to the throne as a world-class star.

“Hakuna shaka juu ya nguvu kubwa ya ushawishi aliyonayo Diamond Platnumz, kwani hata hivi Karibuni mtandao mkubwa wa muziki duniani Billboard ulimtaja Kama mmoja wa wasanii wenye nguvu zaidi katika mtandao wa YouTube duniani,” wrote Kassim.

Speaking to Billboard, Kevin Meenan - YouTube music trends manager, disclosed that the singer’s innovative spirit on the platform was impressive; a feat to be emulated by artists seeking to break ground globally.

“For every [official] music video he has - and they are very high-production music videos, by the way - he might have anywhere from five to 20 or more song and non-song content videos, that, for instance, could include documentary-style or behind-the-scenes footage,” added Meenan.

“You’re seeing him lean in and hit those touchpoints where he is engaging his subscriber base, but also converting new subscribers, a number of artists from Africa who have broken globally are really leaning into that strategy - and that’s something we recommend all artists do,” he urged.

Undeniably talented, the figure as at the time of Billboard's report release stood at an impressive 980 million.

It is, however, not surprising that he has hit the mark considering that his hit song Hallelujah that featured reggae icons Morgan Heritage garnered over 1 million YouTube views in under 15 hours!

“Platnumz has amassed a mind-blowing 3.6 million subscribers and 980 million views on his channel, about 80% of them from outside of Tanzania. For the measurement period of May 1, 2019, to May 1, 2020, globally, Kenya, drove the most views for Platnumz, followed by Tanzania and the United States,”

Indian Firm Eyes Sugar Plant in Dodoma

THE Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, responsible for investment, Angella Kairuki has welcomed the decision by an Indian investor- Purandare Industries (T) Ltd to establish a sugar plant at Dabalo Ward, Chamwino District in the country's capital-Dodoma.

The kudos by the minister to the Indian Company came after she visited the area of the upcoming sugar factory, where she received a progress report on the construction of the factory from the company's Managing Director, Satish Purandare.

India-Tanzania business relations continue growing and the establishment of a sugar plant is one of the initiatives encouraged by the working tour of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July 2016.

After her tour, Ms Kairuki said that India still remains one of Tanzania's leading Trade and Investment Partner.

And, according to the company's Managing Director, operations at the factory which will have the capacity to produce 5,000 tonnes of sugar per year are expected to kick off in June 2021.

In an interview with the 'Daily News', Mr Purandare said the first sugar industry in the country's capital will be located at Dabalo Ward in Chamwino District, some 80 kilometres from the city centre, and that his company expects to enter into a contract with farmers within the area to grow sugarcane for the factory's raw materials.

"I am happy that the government under President John Magufuli has been giving me a lot of collaboration, and this is complemented by the minister's visit to our plant," he said.

This new investment comes just four years since President Magufuli invited more Indian investors to come and set up businesses in the country.


The call was made at the State House in Dar es Salaam, when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the country in July 2016.

At a media briefing-back then, Dr Magufuli and the Indian leader agreed to deepen the India-Tanzania ties in business, agriculture, food security, trade, natural gas and other vital sectors.

In the discussion, Mr Purandare was optimistic that the investment will play a pivotal role in improving the economic sphere in Chamwino District.

"Despite providing permanent jobs for hundreds of farmers, the plant will also stimulate different socioeconomic activities in the district and the region at large," he said, adding: "I want to see Tanzanians becoming investors in their nation."

According to the company's MD, Purandare Industries (T) Limited intends to provide technology support and inputs to out grower sugarcane farmers and also add value to the cane produced.

He said that Dabalo sugar which will be produced at the high-tech factory will carry its brand name 'Sukari Halisi'. The new factory comes as a good news as it will help to reduce sugar deficit in the country.
