And that was in 1989.

Is the situation still prevailing presently? Otherwise I need a reason for this 1989 research to be submitted here today, 34 years later.

 Tanzanian workers are lazy and
 unproductive says Tanzania's National Productivity Council
 (NPC) quoted in 'Business News' on September 29th 1989.
 The NPC Executive Secretary, Mr Nikubuka Shimwela attributes
 the trend to a lack of a productive culture in the nation.
 "People are not serious with work" he said.
 According to the Council the
 nation's productivity has been falling since 1980 with
 adverse effects on the national economy. In financial
 institutions productivity has been declining at an average
 rate of 3.3% In the manufacturing sector at 6.2%, in the
 mining sector at 4% and in public administration at 5.5% In
 cross section interviews on productivity many interviewees
 have charged that the most unproductive sector is the public
 administration sector. Civil servants report late for work,
 one person charged. Some leave their work well before
 closing time while most spend a considerable amount of time
 in dubious private ventures during working hours.
 NO SAYS MR.
 KASWAGA
 Responding in the Mailbag column of 'Business News' a Mr
 Ben Kaswaga wondered what had happened to workers in recent
 years. Had the generation of early post-independence workers
 disappeared? The answer was no he wrote. Many of those
 Tanzanians were still alive and well. But something or other
 had happened in their minds.
 'How much productivity can be
 expected of a Tanzanian who gets up at 5.30 in the morning
 without even a crumb of boiled cassava for breakfast to make
 two bus connections at 30 shillings each so as to be in time
 for work? Can this hungry worker produce much when all he
 has for lunch is a couple of roasted sweet potatoes to be
 washed down the throat with, perhaps, one soda because he
 can't afford anything better? Can this worker be
 productive when, at 2.30 pm – tired, underfed and
 undernourished – he has to make another two bus
 connections to get back home and arrive there, maybe two
 hours later ….
 The Tanzanian is lazy? True,
 probably, but that is mainly because he does not eat enough.
 He does not eat enough because he is not paid enough (or
 sometimes not at all) because there is low productivity. But
 there cannot be higher productivity from a demoralised,
 tired and hungry producer …..
 Need we wonder why even that old
 glorious self-help spirit is now only a thing of the
 past?'
