Tanzania's Acacia Spat Shows Deepening Battle With Business

Tanzanian President John Magufuli’s escalating battles with business risk alienating the very investors he needs to drive his multi-billion dollar industrialization policy.
- Accusation against miner is latest broadside against business
- Tanzania needs investors to help fund $19 billion of projects
On Monday, the 57-year-old leader ratcheted up his dispute with miners by accusing Acacia Mining Plc of operating illegally in Tanzania and insisting the government is owed billions of shillings of unpaid taxes. It’s the latest in a series of broadsides against private investors who are being unnerved by his administration’s stance and its lack of consultation on policy. Shares in Acacia, which denies any wrongdoing, slumped as much as 16 percent.

“It’s negative that you have these uncertainties playing out in the market, especially at a time when you’re relying on growth and infrastructure development to be supported by private sector activity,” said Lisa Brown, a risk analyst at Rand Merchant Bank in South Africa.
Magufuli came to power 19 months ago with a pledge to industrialize sub-Saharan Africa’s sixth-biggest economy. The country has transport and utilities projects worth at least $19 billion in the pipeline, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Last week, the Finance Ministry said it will spend at least 1.8 trillion shillings ($809 million) in the next fiscal year on projects including building a standard-gauge railway and upgrading its main port in Dar es Salaam.
‘Important Ally’
While Magufuli has said the private sector is “an important ally” in the government’s development efforts, it has yet to secure funding for the key projects like the railway. The Finance Ministry said June 7 it’s in the final stages of talks with Credit Suisse Group AG on a $500-million loan for financing projects, without providing further details.
The uncertain regulatory environment in Tanzania is likely to weigh on investment flows, threatening the viability of the infrastructure projects, BMI Research, a unit of Fitch Ratings Ltd., said last week.
“Regulatory uncertainty and higher operating costs will test the viability of future projects in a range of sectors, likely leading foreign investors to reconsider future investment, which will weigh on the country’s long-term growth prospects,” it said in a research note.
Government revenue collection in the past financial year suggests a slowdown in private sector activity and increased stress, according to RMB’s Brown. Confusion over structural adjustment of the economy and lack of clear communication from the government has resulted in slower decision making, especially on new and expansionary investment, she said.
While analysts agree that the way in which Magufuli is carrying out the reforms may be too hard-line, they also accept that the policy overhaul is necessary. The president’s approach is akin to economic nationalism that is ultimately aimed at nation-building, Gilead Teri, director of policy at the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation in Dar es Salaam, said by phone.
‘Cutting Corners’
“In the previous administration, people were used to cutting corners,” Teri said. “He thinks if the business environment is corrupt, everybody loses. If you have a system tilted towards one side it hurts the private sector.”
Calls to presidency spokesman Gerson Msigwa weren’t answered when Bloomberg sought comment, while Finance Ministry spokesman Ben Mwaipaja declined to comment when reached by phone.
EcoEnergy Scandinavia AB of Sweden. In March, Washington-based Symbion Power said it’s seeking arbitration after the Tanzanian government terminated a power-purchase agreement and is targeting a $560-million settlement.
The Symbion announcement was followed by comments from a diplomat with the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania expressing concern over “discouraging signs on the private sector side.”
“I think it’s really important when a U.S. company signs an agreement that both parties receive the goods and services and payments that have been agreed upon,” Virginia Blaser, charge d’affaires at the embassy, said in an interview with Tanzania’s Citizen newspaper published May 31. “I think there can be some improvements there.”
The latest dispute with Acacia represents an “unprecedented escalation” by the government toward the mining industry, said Ahmed Salim, an analyst with Dubai-based Teneo Strategy.
That’s left investors worried about where Magufuli might turn his attention next, said RMB’s Brown.
“No one knows whether he’s going to move onto other sectors and what it means for future investment,” Brown said.

These are surrogate economists/analysts, what he implies is that we have no right to ask for a win win situation , in that we shall discourage investors, on the other hand he agrees the dishonest behaviour of so called investors!
Who does not know that Africa is being milked day and night , on the other they pretend giving us aid while it is a lie.
The so called analyst is so subjective without even mentioning the implications of these dishost behaviours on the economies of African countries.
They use the media, economists, banks etc, check the 1990s wave of linearization of economies, privitazation and free market ecomies, research all African which embarked on this policies what happened peoples livelyhood, they new it will not work because we had very frangile institutions, up to date no one has confessed. After independence it was a door to reposese Africa, because they were only ones who had capital, because they everything like the from nancial systems. So such analysts we know who they work for.

Sawa kabisa ndugu. tatizo ni kwamba wengi tuna elimu ileile ya kukariri facts na moja ya facts ni kuwa 'tatizo haliwezi kutatuliwa na akili ileile iliyolitengeneza'. Kulingana na mazingira hili linawezekana kulingana na jinsi unavyojaribu kueleza lakini dalili za awali zinaonyesha tayari kwamba wanaotaka kutatua tatizo uelewa wao wa tatizo uko chini hata zaidi ya walipolitengeneza. Ndio maana nikasema God have mercy on us!
Pamoja na yote hayo lakini credibility ya ripoti husika muhimu sana! Haiwezekani ripoti iliyoandaliwa upande mmoja ikakubalika kisheria.
Kama ripoti ingekuwa na credibility, hata kama ingekuwa ndo wameshamaliza kabisa shughuli zao hapa nchini bado tungeweza kuwabana kisheria! Ingawaje ICSID inaonekana kuwapendelea sana wawekezaji lakini kimsingi wanaangalia jinsi mambo yalivyoendeshwa!!!

Kwenye mambo ya msingi msiendekeze vyama. Kushinda mnasema sijuhi waliofanya ni CCM, huyu raisi ni wa CCM n.k ni hoja zinazoletwa na watu wenye kutaka kuendeleza majibizano ya kuwachanganya watanzania na kupoteza lengo.
Kwani wakati huo JPM aliikuwa ana mamlaka gani CCM? Kwani yeye alikuwa ni nani mpaka kusema alikuwepo? PRS? VP? PM?. Yaani kisa kuwa tu kwenye cabinet ndo ionekane hayuko sahihi leo, sasa kama kwa mujibu wa katiba cabinet ni kumshauri raisi hivi ni kweli kila mtu kila wazo litakubaliwa? Na je, kwani JPM aliwahi kuwa katika hiyo wizara tukasema sasa kama waziri wizara ilimshinda? Binafsi sioni namna ya kumpinga kwa haya anayoyasimaia kwasababu za kitoto ambazo hazina kichwa wala miguu.

Hawa jamaa wameandika kibiashara zaidi.kama ni mfanyabiashara yeyote uwe mzalendo au sio mzalendo basi mambo wanayoyaona lazima utayaona hii kitu inaitwa POLITICAL RISKS in finance/ economy wa nchi au biashara. Nadhani wengi watamuona JPM ni tatizo kwasababu anavunja mikataba serikali waliyosaini...swala kubwa ambalo raisi anatakiwa kufanya au alittakiwa kufanya kabla ya kuyazusha yote haya ni kuwa na bodi ambayo ingereview mikataba yote ya madini (watanzania+wanasiasa upinzani+wataalamu esp wanchi kama ghana na sauzi/botswana)ambao wanafaidika kidogo na mikataba yaoHapa dunia ya wafanyabiashara inawaza itafanyaje biashara na nchi ambayo haina uhakika na kesho yake.

Hatuwezi kujinasua sasa kama mikataba bado haijapitiwa jamaa watatushambulia sana maana 100% wanawatu watanzania ambao wanafuatilia process zote kitu ambacho wanajua na kujiandaa kutushambulia
Kama vita imefika huku na kweli wanataka vita basi ajipange vizuri na upinzani na wataalamu wengine(sauzi/ghana/botswana) tuwe na mawazo mengi ili tuwatoe ila wenyewe hatuiwezi wao watafunga tu misaada na vikwazo vingi
Tuwe na facts za ukweli sio za (prof mruma na osoro)...za 28kg to 40kg of gold in a kontena...itatushinda hiii tukienda tumia mahakama za nje
Mkuu, hao matajiri wa kitanzania utawatengenezea wapi wakati magabachori wamekamata biashara zote kubwa kubwa, matajiri wazawa ni wa kuhesabu na hao hao magabachori wamekuwa ma middlemen wa kutuingiza kingi kwenye mikataba mibovu kama ya IPTL. Watu walipoleta sera ya uzawa wakaitwa makaburu, ngoja tuendelee kunyooshwa tu hakuna namna..

Ni kweli.
Na Magufuli maneno yake ya ovyo ovyo ya kumuagiza Spika (mkubwa wa muhimili tofauti ambaye maneno ya rais kumuagiza ni kuvunja separation of powers) kumuagiza Spika afukuze wabunge wa upinzani bungeni ili aje a deal nao nje, yanawasaidia wawekezaji kumuonyesha Magufuli kama dikteta asiyeheshimu utwala wa sheria, ambaye hata haheshimu wabunge waliochaguliwa na wananchi wa nchi yake mwenyewe.
Kwamba huyu mtu kichaa kichaa tu, hawezi kuaminika kusimamia habari kubwa kama hii kwa haki.
Magufuli katika jitihada zake za kufanya usanii usio na haja wala tija, anawasaidia hawa wawekezaji.
