Morogoro

Grave after grave after grave in this cemetery in the eastern Tanzanian city of Morogoro has been vandalised.

Izire Ramadhani, a dealer in Morogoro city centre, recalls how in 2023 he, along with some other scrap merchants, caught someone trying to sell a stolen cross and reported him to the authorities.

Pastor Steven Msigara from the Jesus Assembles of God in Morogoro has called for a united effort to educate the youth on the need to respect sacred places.

At their facility in Morogoro, Tanzania, Szott and the other researchers are also working on training the rats to someday aid in the detection of contaminated soil or help rescuers in finding people trapped under the rubble after earthquakes and explosions.

Meanwhile it's a husband and wife team, Shadrack Paull and Lusia Axalte, that look after the cemetery at Morogoro in Tanzania.
