According to Mr. Salum Kaponda, a resident of Tandale and one of the community members mapping with HOT, “The rainy season doesn’t last long, and people dwelling in this slum area are willing to live with that. Once the rainy season ends, they forget about the misery caused by the floods.”
Lakini kulingana na Bwana Salum Kaponda ambaye ni mkazi wa Tandale na mmojawapo katika timu inayofanya kazi ya kutengeneza ramani anasema ‘ Mvua huwa hazinyeshi kwa mda mrefu na kwamba watu wanaoishi katika makazi haya holela wako tayari kuishi katika hali hiyo, na kwamaba pale mvua zinapoisha wanasahau masaibu yaliyotokana na mafuriko hayo’.
