What you need to know:
Known as “Machinga complex” with Machinga literally meaning “hawkers” in colloquial Swahili, the facility has standing at the Karume area like a whate elephant and is now being used for activities other than those originally intended when the Dar es Salaam City Council, the owners of the property, started renting out spaces in 2010.
