Lucas una lolote la kusema? [emoji3]
Watu wengi hawajui, ni kweli Tanzania tuna rasilimali nyingi asilia lakini siyo kwa viwango vikubwa kama ilivyo kwa baadhi ya nchi za Afrika na Dunia. Hata hizo kidogo kidogo tulizo nazo, bado tumeshindwa kuzitumia vizuri, tumeishia kugawa hovyo hovyo.
Mauzo tu ya cobalt ya nchi kama ya DRC yanazidi mauzo ya madini aina zote ya Tanzania ukiyaweka pamoja. Tanzania haiingii hata kwenye top 15 ya nchi za Afrika zenye rasilimali nyingi katika thamani. Tazama kwenye orodha hii:
