It is my concern that the place is now occupied by houses and now it will cause a problen later where the water floods in heavy rains. If you look at the place the situation is dire,how can people live there? Knowing the land is too low. This is a major concern because people who pass by will relise that that is a potential place for flooding. Even if they have stopped bombing the place the goverment is iresponsible for allowing people to live in suc an area. They could at least have made the area a park where visitors can come and stroll, read and watch birds and animals or even swim in a public pool. The aesthetics of the place are to be changed completely to make the place favourable as it allows for a good view of the ocean.
There are other places in Dar-es-Salaam which seem to be victim to this problem of mislocation of houses and bad land use. If you go to Tabata Matumbi which is on the road from Tazara to Ubungo, you will notice that there are houses on your right that are in low lying areas I suspect that a similar situation as the one in Kunduchi avails itself here. There is another location on the road from morocco to illala area after the intersection of Morogoro road on the way to illala there is a mosque on your left. you will see another low lying area which they now use for proffessional digging after which you meet a market on your left. This place used to have houses but they removed the houses as flooding was a big problem at the time, sewage water running on the streets and being a cause of cholera as steet kids walk on the water which polluted. WHo can know what ilnesses these people would suffer?
The people living at Kunduchi are to leave the quarry site and find someplace else to live. There are numerous flats that people can move into and the place could be converted into a park for leasure.
