Dar es Salaam-Malawi Government has given an order to the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) to move 48 million litres of petroleum products in the next 12 months, starting July 2016.
The order was communicated at a meeting between TAZARA and a delegation of 11 officials from the Malawi Government headed by Estelle Nuka, Board Member of the Malawi Energy Regulation Authority.
TAZARA Managing Director Eng. Bruno Ching’andu assured the Malawi delegation that with the new leadership TAZARA had the best management team to compete with any in the world and was fully geared to take the firm to another level.
“Our shareholders have recently appointed me and my deputy, and between us we have vast engineering and business experience. Together with the rest of our management, we have the best team that can compete with any in the world and are well prepared to handle the cargo you will be bringing to us,” Eng. Ching’andu said.
TAZARA is also in discussion with the Zambian Government and another private firm to begin transporting at least 14 million litres of fuel per month from the Port of Dar es Salaam to Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo within the month of July 2016.
Since joining TAZARA in April 2016, Eng. Ching’andu has instilled discipline in the railway operations, with the firm now registering consistent and shorter transit times in freight trains as well as passenger trains, an impediment that tended to drive clients away in the past.
The new Managing Director has also ordered his Management team to be customer-centric, giving maximum respect to the clients and being responsive to their needs.
In another development, Eng. Ching’andu has laid out his vision to the employees, calling on every worker to be customer-centric in order to turn the Authority into the best transport organization in the region.
Speaking last week to over 500 Dar es Salaam – based employees, Eng. Ching’andu said he wants to preside over a workforce that is proud to work for TAZARA, paid handsomely and competitively and operating in a safe environment, with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.

Bruno is a well-experienced railways engineer from Zambia Railways – but this sounds like too much excitement — don’t blow your trumpet too early baba.
This is the mistake we make if one is a good doctor or surgeon it doesn’t mean they can run a hospital…this applies with engineers as well – the goal for these Public companies is not making a loss and eventually turning profit.
You have already won the contract…what is the point of making reassurances about your CVs to your client? Its likened to a chef you pay cook for you at your party and suddenly starts talking about his vast culinary skills as you are just about to tuck in….really laughable. TAZARA has a million dollar contracts with mines and they always fail to deliver in time due to derailments and breakdowns….
Additionally how much does this deal translate to in money moving 48 million litres to Lilongwe?
Always opposing. You are like your father, the father of all lies the ……….il
Go Go engineer we behind u, you will soon supply Zim
