Life is the most basic human right if justice means anything at all, it must protect life. That should be a constant underlying purpose of all social, economic and political activities of government of all level. To have food, clothing, shelter, and other basic necessities of life; to live without fear; to have opportunity to work for one living; freedom of association, of speech, and of worship. All this things together are the basic principles of living as whole person in ‘freedom and justice
The adjective indigenous is derived from the Latin etymology meaning "native" or "born within a certain locality or geographical area . In Tanzania no society can exactly claim to be indigenous in the context of native or as the first occupier of certain geographical areas but certain events prompted some communities to use the term “indigenous peoples” as a way to claim specific denied rights. Had those events never occurred anywhere, the concept “indigenous peoples” as currently understood in international human rights law, would not have existed. There would be Maori, Aborigines, Mayas, Yanomami, Batwa, San, Maasai, Akie, Barbaig, Hadzabe, Ogiek, Saami, Sengwer and others, but they would not need to self-identify as indigenous peoples, as a way to seek justice. The concept of indigenous peoples is indeed a human rights construct aimed at redressing specific violations of rights linked to cultural identities, livelihoods, and cultural existence as community.

THE NATURAL WEALTH AND RESOURCES (PERMANENT SOVEREIGNTY ACT) 2017 and its sister Contract Re-negotiation that we had been told it's for protection of our minerals the devil lie in the definition of what we are busy protecting.
"Natural wealth and resource means all material and substance occurring in nature such as soil, subsoil, gaseous and water resources, and flora and fauna, genetic resources, aquatic resources, micro organism, air space, rivers, lakes, and maritime space, including the Tanzania territorial sea and continental shelf, living and non living resources in the economic Exclusive Zone which can be extracted, exploited or acquired and use economic gain whether processed or not".
A very smart person sat down, use the very humble and generous language, construct the two laws to enforce the Constitution only to omit what ought to be included. This isnt an oversight na kama ilikuwa then wataona in the committees.
The certificate of urgency is for MAKINIKIA (mchanga) AGAIN not minerals and petroleum as they want us to believe.
and the Miscellaneous Amendment law 2017 also brought under urgency affirm the ghost urgency laws on natural resources when stating the pre-existing contract and agreement remain in force. Wa kushangilia na washangilie but the naked truth is, though the substantive part of the Natural wealth laws are wonderful in protecting some resources the so called minerals are not protected.
