WAFANYABIASHARA watano, Said Bakhressa Gulam Dewji, Rostam Aziz, Reginald Mengi na Ali Mufuruki, wametajwa na Jarida la Ventures Africa linalozungumzia masuala mbalimbali ya uchumi wa Afrika kuwa ndiyo matajiri zaidi nchini.
Anayeongoza katika orodha hiyo ni Bakhressa anayemiliki mali na fedha zenye thamani ya Dola za Marekani 620 milioni sawa na Sh992 bilioni (Dola moja Sh1,600) akifuatiwa na Dewji ambaye utajiri wake ni Dola 560 milioni (Sh896 bilioni). Wengine na kiasi cha mali na fedha wanazomiliki kwenye mabano ni Rostam (Sh672 bilioni- Dola 420 milioni) Mengi (Sh448bilioni- Dola 280 milioni) na Mufuruki (Sh176 bilioni - Dola 110 milioni).
Matajiri hao wamepatikana baada ya kuangalia nafasi zao kifedha, ufanisi wa kampuni zao katika soko la hisa, mfumo wa wanahisa katika soko la hisa na mtiririko mzima wa fedha katika akaunti zao kwenye benki mbalimbali.
Jarida hilo linalotoka mara moja kwa mwezi kutoka Afrika Magharibi, limesema matajiri hao wa Tanzania ni kati ya Waafrika wenye utajiri ambao ni mabilionea 4,800 kutoka mataifa 17.
Asilimia kubwa ya watu 1,523 ni mamilionea na wamo katika ripoti ya watu matajiri Afrika.
Jarida hilo linataja jinsi matajiri hao walivyokuwa wajasiriamali wadogo kabla ya kuibuka na kuwa mabilionea.

Jarida hilo linataja jinsi matajiri hao walivyokuwa wajasiriamali wadogo kabla ya kuibuka na kuwa mabilionea.
Said Salim Bakhresa
Jarida hilo limesema chanzo cha utajiri wa Bakhressa ni mapato yanayotokanana uzalishaji wa bidhaa mbalimbali kwenye viwanda vyake.

Miongoni mwa mali zake ni Kiwanda cha 21st Century Textiles, moja ya viwanda vikubwa vya nguo Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara.

Kampuni hiyo pia inamiliki kampuni ya bima, makontena, kampuni za kuuza mafuta ya petroli na maduka ya kuuza bidhaa mbalimbali zaidi ya 100 Tanzania nzima.
Hata hivyo, Gulam alisema jana kwamba takwimu zilizotolewa zimekosewa. Alisema kwa sasa yuko nje ya Dar es Salaam na atatoa taarifa sahihi atakaporejea.
Kuna baadhi ya tarakimu zimekosewa niko Morogoro kuangalia biashara zangu nikirudi Dar es Salaam nitazungumza, alisema Dewji.
Rostam Aziz
Ameelezwa kuwa utajiri wake umetokana na kuendesha shughuli zake mbalimbali ikiwamo kampuni za mawasiliano ya simu, madini na biashara za usafiri wa meli.
Mwanasiasa huyo mwenye asili ya Asia, alichaguliwa kwa mara ya kwanza kuwa Mbunge wa Igunga mwaka 1993 na alishinda kwa vipindi viwili.
Aliachana na ulingo wa siasa mwaka 2011. Anamiliki asilimia 19 ya Hisa za Kampuni ya Vodacom ambayo ina wateja zaidi ya milioni nane.
Ameelezwa pia kuwa anamiliki Kampuni ya Ujenzi ya Caspian na sehemu ya Bandari ya Dar es Salaam kwa kushirikiana na Kampuni ya Hutchison Whampoa ya Hong Kong.
Akizungumzia utafiti huo, alisema: Umefanyika kwa umakini isipokuwa tu kwa upande wangu wanasemas ninamiliki asilimia 19 ya Kampuni ya Vodacom kitu ambacho si sawa kwani ninamiliki asilimia 35.
Reginald Mengi
Mengi anakimiliki kampuni mbalimbali ikiwemo vyombo vya habari, viwanda vinavyozalisha vinywaji baridi vya Coca-Cola na ana mgodi wa dhahabu.
Mfanyabiashara huyo baada ya kufanya kazi ya uhasibu ambayo ndiyo taaluma yake, alifanya biashara ya kutengeneza kalamu za wino zilizopata soko kubwa Afrika Mashariki.
Leo hii, IPP Group ambayo Mengi ni mwenyekiti wake, inamiliki magazeti mbalimbali ikiwemo Financial Times, ThisDay na The Guardian, televisheni mbili kubwa Afrika Mashariki na Kati EATV na ITV na vituo vya redio. Anamiliki Kampuni za IPP Gold na Handeni Gold.
Ali Mufuruki
Utajiri wake unatokana na biashara mbalimbali za rejareja na za ushirika.
Ni mwanzilishi na Mwenyekiti Mtendaji wa Tanzania Infotech Investment Group.
Kampuni hiyo inajumuisha Watanzania na Waganda kwa ajili ya kuuza bidhaa za Afrika Kusini za Woolworth.

Ni mmoja wa waanzilishi wa taasisi mbalimbali ikiwemo East Africa Capital Partners, vyombo vya habari, sekta ya mawasiliano ikiwamo Venture Capital Fund Manager na nyingine katika sehemu kubwa ya Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki.
Pia aliwahi kuwa Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Wakurugenzi ya Mwananchi Communications Limited, Benki ya Stanbic, Mwenyekiti wa Africa Leadership Initiative East Africa Foundation.
Akizungumzia taarifa hiyo, Mufuruki aliwapongeza waliotajwa kuwa ni matajiri.
Ningefurahi sana kama ningekuwa na utajiri huo lakini kwa upande wangu naona kwangu kuna tatizo la taarifa kwani walizotoa si sawa,alisema Mufuruki na kuongeza;
Sizungumzii watu wote waliotajwa, bali nazungumzia mimi mwenyewe data walizotoa si sawa kwa upande wangu.
Hata hivyo, alisema anafurahi kuona watu wanaanza kuzungumzia utajiri wa watu wengine in a positive way (kwa mrengo chanya) na si vinginevyo.

Africas Secret Millionaires: The 5 Richest Tanzanians Youve Never Heard Of
Posted on November 23, 2012 01:35 pm under Entrepreneurs, PlayersEnlarge image
VENTURES AFRICA Heres an interesting statistic: There are over 4,800 Africans spread across 17 African countries who are individually worth $100 million or more in tangible assets.
Its a fascinating dynamic. Thats 1,523 percent more African centi-millionaires than global wealth intelligence firm, Wealth-X acknowledges in its ridiculously flawed wealth report on Africa. In the report (see page 28 for more insight), Wealth-X spuriously claims there are a mere 315 centi-millionaires in Africa. Absolutely false; its more like 4,800. And these ultra-high net worth individuals have an aggregate net worth of over $1.2 trillion.
As from next week, the Ventures Africa wealth team will uncover, identify and profile these African centi-millionaires through Africas Secret Millionaires- an illuminating new weekly feature on Ventures Africa.
The idea behind Africas Secret Millionaires is quite simple. We will traverse across the continent seeking out immensely successful, yet low-key tycoons and business leaders who have been largely under-reported, and then tell their stories. We will look through financial reports, track equity holdings around stock markets, identify specific shareholding structures in privately-held companies and consult with everyone from fund managers to investment bankers, realtors and financial analysts to find information that was has not been made public, and then we will place accurate values on the assets of these ultra-high net worth individuals.
We will deliver stories youve never heard of, from Senegal to South Africa, from Namibia to Nigeria and Kenya to Togo. And we wont just write shallow, pedestrian profiles like other magazines do. No. Well break down the figures just for you, using comparators and case studies to explain the rationale for our valuations, all along the way. We will account for shares in private and public companies, income sources, residential and investment properties, art collections, jets, cash and other investible assets. It will be wealth reporting like never before.
And then we will present it at your table.
Through the stories of these wealthy ones, Ventures Africa hopes to lay credence on Africas prosperity, its growing attractiveness, its imminent socio-economic revolution and its contemporary renaissance while celebrating African success, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the rewards of hard work.
Ahead of the launch of our Africas Secret Millionaires feature, heres a teaser:
Meet five low-key, ultra-wealthy Tanzanian tycoons, entrepreneurs and business leaders. Each of them is worth more than $100 million at the very least, but youve probably never heard about them.
