Africa's Richest Man Faces Challenges In Tanzania; Shuts Down Cement Plant


Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has shut down his cement plant in Tanzania due to high energy costs and a technical glitch at the $500 million factory, according to a government source, who confirmed reports in Tanzanian media.

Executives at Dangote Industries Tanzania have recently complained about the government’s failure to provide the company with cheap fuel and other logistical solutions. Dangote Cement had previously requested the government-owned energy company, the Tanzania petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), to supply its Mtwara-based cement plant with natural gas at significantly subsidized prices - a request the government body turned down.

Dangote cement spends as much as $4 million on diesel every month powering its cement factory.

“Our plant uses six million liters of diesel per month to run generators after the promises to supply it with natural gas, which is produced in a nearby gas field, failed to materialize,” Dangote Tanzania CEO, Harpeet Duggal, had told a group of politicians in October.

Dangote plant was strategically built in Mtwara, in Tanzania’s southeastern region, to take advantage of cheap natural gas that is extracted in nearby fields. While the previous government led by former President Jakaya Kikwete had promised Dangote cheaper prices for natural gas, the TPDC under the government of President John Magufuli has refused to honor the agreement. In a bid to mitigate its energy costs, Dangote Industries has resorted to importing coal from South Africa, which is cheaper than natural gas – a move that has greatly upset top government officials in the Magufuli-led government, primarily because Tanzania also possesses substantial deposits of coal. In August, the government banned the importation of coal from South Africa – a move that pundits believe was specifically targeted at Dangote. The Tanzanian government has repeatedly requested that the cement behemoth source its coal locally, but Dangote executives have complained that the coal, which is mined from Songwe region, hundreds of kilometers away from Mtwara, is of poor quality and unreasonably expensive.

However, the acting commissioner of minerals in the Ministry of Energy and minerals, John Shija, has defended Tanzania’s coal as being better than imported coal both in terms of quality and price.

While coal produced in Tanzania is sold at $90 per ton with transportation costs included, coal from South Africa is sold at between $103 and $118 per ton – transportation costs included, “ Shija told a group of journalists on Thursday at a press conference in Dar es salaam on Wednesday.

Dangote anaimba

Kioo hakidanganyi mama
umejipodoa umepodoka
Mwendo na shepu vyote mwanana
Mimi suruari yanidondoka
Tukimbizane nini Tanzania/CCM wangu?
Iyo michezo ya jogoo
Mbona watizama chini Tanzania/CCM wangu
Ukimuona jongoo
Inama kidogo shika magoti
Nimesimama kama ngongoti
Mtoto jojo sio roboti
Chumbani bingili bingili sambasoti
 
Mmmm nyie mnae mtetea Dangote IPO siku mtaielewaa serikali yetu ikoje
Kama wawekezaji wote wangependelewa hivo naiman mambo yangekuwa sawa
Ok kwani Dangote japo ya hizo ghalama za uzalishaji kwani cement ilikuwa haiuziki
Mbona alikuwa anauzaaa
... Alichoingizwaa chaka ni kwenda kuwekeza mtwara ambako sio market base ya cement but haingii akilini serikali ikuuzie gesi bei rahisi ili iweje
Sasa hayoo makaa ya mawe mbona viwanda vingine havilalamiki ni yeye tu
Simba wako tanga
Rhino tanga
Tembo Mbeya
Mbona wote hawalalamiki

Mnafikiri hela zakuwalipa nyie watetea ujinga zitapatikana wapi kama wawekezaji watafunga biashara hii ina maana idadi ya walipa kodi itapungua.Hata mawakala wapya wa TRA(kikosi cha usalama barabarani) nao makusanyo yao yatakuwa hoi kwakuwa vyombo vya kukamata hata kwa uonevu vitakuwa majumbani kwani asilimia kubwa ya wamiliki watakuwa hawana ajira.Tafakari pasipo kuhusisha siasa katika hili jambo.
 
Itabidi Tanzania sasa tuanze kusikiliza na kutekeleza kila wanayotaka wawekezaji ili tuvutie wengine zaidi, maana kuhoji tunakimbiza wawekezaji.

Mkuu reputation ya forbes ni kubwa mno! so strategic investor anapoona habari (wao wanasoma hiyo magazine kila wakati ni kama wengine wanavyosoma JF) kama hii lazima kuna kitu kinacklic kwenye mind yake! Tena issue ni kuwa serikali haikuheshimu makubaliano ambayo walikubaliana na hapo ndipo hasa Dangote wanapolalamika. Hata kama Dangote ana matatizo yake lakin ana point lets be fair kwenye hili. By the way cement ingekuwaje bei ya chini kama asingepata incentives mbalimbali? ifike hatua serikali ijiongeze hii ni win win na ndo biashara zilivyo
 
NN kafungie hilo gazeti haraka sana,....lina andika 'utoposhaji'.
Hahahahaaa..........Sizonjeeeee! yeye ataisoma namba halafu wananchi mtapewa jukumu la kuumia.

Mkuu soma hapo chini Dangote ana sababu zake na ziko genuine siyo kwamba amekurupuka!

Na kodi kiasi gani itapotea wakiamua kushut down operations permanently? Watu nadhani wanalichukulia hili jambo lightly sana.
