Vijana wa kiTanzania walilia uraia pacha kutokana na changamoto wazipatazo huku wao wakiwa wamwzaliwa mfano raia wa Marekani ya Kaskazini na Ulaya wakati wazazi wao, bibi, babu, shangazi ni waTanzania lakini sheria za uraia za Tanzania haziwatambui na hivyo kupata wakati ngumu katika mambo mbalimbali wawapo nyumbani kwa wazee wao.
Katika mahojiano hata exclusive na GADI TV diaspora aeleza jinsi ambayo serikali inaweza kulibeba jambo hili na likawa la manufaa siyo kwa diaspora tu ya kiTanzania bali hata nchi yao ya asili wenye mizizi nayo ya Tanzania.

Tanzania: Bill tabled to prohibit non-citizens from owning land through inheritance
In
Local Investment Laws and Indigenisation,
Property Law and Real Estate,
Tanzania
On 14 November 2019, the Written Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2019, Act No 8 of 2019 which proposed to amend several laws including the Probate and Administration of Estates Act, Cap. 352 was tabled in Parliament for first reading.
The amendment to the Probate and Administration of Estates Act now proposes to impose a restriction on Administrators and Executors in distributing the estate of the deceased which is in the form of landed property to heirs who are non-citizen. If the Bill goes through, the non-citizen heirs will be allowed to benefit from the proceeds realised from the disposition of the said landed property after the Administrator or Executor disposes off the property.
The laws of Tanzania through the provisions of section 20 of the Land Act prohibit foreigners to acquire land unless it is for investment purposes under the Tanzania Investment Act. The said Act makes it clear that a non-citizen can only acquire land if it is for investment purposes and that investment must be under the Tanzania Investment Centre. Otherwise non-citizens are not allowed to hold land in Tanzania.
