The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Energy, Dr Doto Biteko, is leading the funeral proceedings for the late managing director of the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco), Gissima Nyamo-Hanga, in Bunda, Mara Region.

This comes a day after the burial of Tanesco driver Hajiri Haule, who died in the same accident, at his home in Visiga, Kibaha District, Coast Region.

Nyamo-Hanga and Haule lost their lives in the early hours of Sunday, April 13, 2025, when the vehicle they were travelling in from Mwanza to Bunda was involved in a fatal road accident.

The accident occurred at around 1:30am near the Ndabaka Gate, at the entrance to Serengeti National Park.

The crash happened when the driver of a Toyota Land Cruiser swerved to avoid a cyclist, lost control and collided head-on with an oncoming lorry.
