    Fighting corruption in the energy sector in Tanzania
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Lukiko, Lukiko Vedastus; Hamman, Abraham J.
    This study contributes to understanding the governance challenges that impact on Tanzania’s future as a petroleum producing state. It considers corruption, which has fuelled insecurity, violence, and poverty in most of the oil producing African nations, as a vulnerability in the energy sector. It therefore examines Tanzania’s policy, legal, and institutional preparedness for overcoming this challenge before its petroleum industry booms. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that, throughout the post-independence period, corruption levels in Tanzania have remained relatively high. The energy sector is one of the economic sectors that has suffered from several grand corruption scandals, particularly the Richmond and the Independent Power Tanzania Limited/Escrow scandals.

    Human trafficking 2.0 the impact of new technologies
    (University of the Western Cape, 2021) Rentzsch, Viola; Hamman, Abraham J.
    Human history is traversed by migration. This manifold global phenomenon has shaped the world to its current state, moving people from one place to another in reaction to the changing world. The autonomous decision to permanently move locations represents only a segment of what is considered to be migration. Routes can be dangerous, reasons can be without any alternative, displacements forced, and journeys deadly. Arguably the most fatal of all long-distance global migration flows, the transatlantic slave trade has left an enduring legacy of economic patterns and persistent pain. Whilst the trade in human beings originated centuries before, with Europe’s long history of slavery, this event represents an atrocious milestone in history. In a nutshell, European colonialists traded slaves for goods from African kings, who had captured them as war prisoners.
