Africa

00:01:01

in the mountains in the heart of

00:01:04

Tanzania lies the country's most

00:01:07

dangerous

00:01:08

road it's name MMA

00:01:12

katanga every day it is a risky race for

00:01:15

trucks buses and Passenger cars at any

00:01:22

cost we always keep an eye on the

00:01:25

schedule everything is planned

00:01:27

meticulously if it all works we arrive

00:01:29

just in

00:01:33

time whether with trucks or fully loaded

00:01:37

tankers dangerous passing Maneuvers are

00:01:40

the rule not the

00:01:45

exception and then also contrary to the

00:01:50

rules the science says

00:01:54

no got toake but when when we dble the

00:01:58

bus we supposed toake because the bus

00:02:00

always is

00:02:02

highly the A7 connects tanzania's

00:02:05

biggest city Dar Salam with the

00:02:08

neighboring countries Congo Zambia and

00:02:12

Malawi the most dangerous section of the

00:02:15

road the katanga is just 8 km long but

00:02:20

the gradient is Extreme and the abyss is

00:02:24

deep every day hundreds of coaches and

00:02:28

trucks negotiate the p

00:02:30

message by no means do all of them make

00:02:35

[Music]

00:02:40

it but the highway is also the lifeline

00:02:44

of the

00:02:49

region despite all the difficulties

00:02:52

numerous Farmers managed to survive

00:02:55

thanks to the

00:02:58

highway

00:03:00

this Farm I got it from my father my

00:03:03

father the first year when he

00:03:04

established this farm he

00:03:07

died the highway allows numerous

00:03:10

businesses to

00:03:12

[Music]

00:03:15

thrive everyone benefits from it not

00:03:17

just those with a towing crane the young

00:03:20

people who help us put the chains on and

00:03:22

get the trucks off the road it helps

00:03:24

them scrape together some pocket

00:03:27

money a driver's license gives the

00:03:30

younger generation a chance at a better

00:03:32

life at least for those who passed the

00:03:40

test aringa the capital of the province

00:03:43

with about 150,000 inhabitants is the

00:03:47

starting point of the

00:03:49

trip the average age in Tanzania is just

00:03:52

17 years the population is growing

00:03:56

rapidly and everyone is anxious to get

00:03:58

from a to

00:04:00

be cars are a

00:04:04

luxury for several years now Tuk tuuks

00:04:07

have dominated the transport market like

00:04:09

many things in Tanzania they are

00:04:11

brightly colored and rather

00:04:17

noisy those who have more

00:04:20

luggage use the group buses that have

00:04:23

been established here for many

00:04:28

years everything that needs to go goes

00:04:31

in

00:04:34

there and that means

00:04:41

everything but if you need to cover

00:04:44

longer

00:04:45

distances you will end up here first the

00:04:49

eumo bus station on the Eastern

00:04:52

outskirts of the city more than 100

00:04:55

buses leave here every day many of them

00:04:58

in the direction of D Sal L it's a

00:05:00

10hour journey and proceeds along the

00:05:05

katonga before setting off passengers

00:05:08

stock up on Essentials at the numerous

00:05:15

vendors the seats on the buses are in

00:05:18

great demand almost everyone reserves

00:05:21

their ticket in advance getting a last

00:05:24

minute ticket in the morning is nearly

00:05:28

impossible ticket inspectors like Samson

00:05:31

make sure that everyone who has paid is

00:05:34

allowed on board the trip today takes

00:05:37

him across the notorious

00:05:39

katanga the highway is very is very good

00:05:43

but the some PR it's danger you see if

00:05:47

we pass the the road you can see little

00:05:51

G and you can see the sign you know some

00:05:55

some some s okay if we if we pass here

00:05:58

just be careful careful a high H area

00:06:02

just be careful so it's about 8 km it's

00:06:07

very very high here right welcome this

00:06:11

is

00:06:13

Tanzania departure time is 7:30 in the

00:06:16

morning payment is made when

00:06:20

boarding a trip to Dar Salam on the

00:06:23

coast costs about

00:06:28

$18

00:06:30

many passengers arrive at the last

00:06:35

[Music]

00:06:42

second where's the other

00:06:45

person today all seats are

00:06:49

taken again and again passengers try to

00:06:53

grab a seat most without success

00:06:56

standing room is not available

00:07:01

for the next 10 hours driver Alberto yat

00:07:05

will be at the wheel on the most

00:07:07

dangerous road in

00:07:13

Tanzania then right on time the bus is

00:07:16

ready to head out or if possible even

00:07:19

earlier to reach its destination

00:07:22

punctually and at maximum

00:07:26

speed even after departure passengers

00:07:29

are still boarding directly in front of

00:07:31

the

00:07:36

terminal two seats are still empty but

00:07:38

there are passengers for them on the

00:07:40

list they can still

00:07:42

come when you're ready the bus is full

00:07:46

okay no he has a ticket and a seat

00:07:50

yes the very last passengers blocked the

00:07:54

bus with their Tuk

00:07:58

Tok then the bus sets off in the

00:08:01

direction of the

00:08:04

katunga while Samson tries to get an

00:08:07

overview as to who's on

00:08:11

board driver Alberto enjoys the more

00:08:15

relaxed part of the route in the early

00:08:25

morning this is where he makes his first

00:08:28

passing maneuver

00:08:29

there are many more to

00:08:41

come I'm fine I feel

00:08:45

[Music]

00:08:48

good meanwhile Samson does another check

00:08:52

to make sure his list is

00:08:56

correct I'm the names of the passenger

00:09:01

the

00:09:02

there he is doing that for a special

00:09:07

reason it's my it's my experience my

00:09:10

it's my experience to do

00:09:12

this

00:09:14

right what

00:09:19

say when when I'm letting the when I'm

00:09:21

letting this the the passenger we mean

00:09:25

that we mean that some if some some some

00:09:29

OCC in

00:09:31

the uh we can see who is in the

00:09:36

bus in Tanzania it is common that buses

00:09:40

have a built-in GPS

00:09:43

tracker this enables the authorities to

00:09:46

monitor travel times and speeds and also

00:09:49

impose penalties for

00:09:52

violations at the same time it's the

00:09:54

driver's job to keep to the schedule at

00:09:57

all cost it's a journey through a gray

00:10:01

Zone helping truck drivers who have

00:10:03

broken down is not an

00:10:07

option nevertheless the bus stops from

00:10:10

time to time even in the countryside to

00:10:14

pick up the last passengers and for

00:10:28

shopping

00:10:35

our customer they want to buy a on so we

00:10:38

allow them we we stop then we allow them

00:10:42

to get what they

00:10:45

want the aringa region is one of the

00:10:48

storehouses of the country the farmers

00:10:51

mainly grow tomatoes corn and onions

00:10:55

these are sold literally by the bucket

00:10:58

load

00:11:04

[Music]

00:11:07

6,000 for

00:11:09

tomatoes 6,000 Tanzanian Shillings is

00:11:12

roughly

00:11:15

[Music]

00:11:25

$25 most roadside vendors are middlemen

00:11:31

give me

00:11:34

2,000 they buy the goods at The Farms

00:11:38

then try to sell them at a premium along

00:11:40

the

00:11:45

roadside the highway and the katanga are

00:11:48

dangerous but for many also the best way

00:11:51

to earn a

00:11:54

living and provide for their

00:11:57

families

00:12:05

like mcus

00:12:06

[Music]

00:12:08

Jr every morning the 19-year-old rounds

00:12:11

up several workers from the surrounding

00:12:13

villages to cultivate his Onion

00:12:17

Field it's a destiny against his will

00:12:21

M's father died a year ago presumably by

00:12:25

Suicide to this day he doesn't know the

00:12:28

exact reasons but he knows that the fate

00:12:31

of the family is now in his

00:12:39

hands this Farm I got it from my father

00:12:42

my father the first year when he

00:12:44

established this farm he died when he

00:12:47

died he left the the crops were like

00:12:50

this as you

00:12:52

see after that me I was in form three so

00:12:59

my mother the one who was taking care

00:13:00

for these groups after being from three

00:13:03

I went from four for this year I

00:13:05

graduated from four after that the H day

00:13:10

I come to start myself to help my my

00:13:13

mother my mother is at home so I'm the

00:13:15

one now taking care for the own

00:13:18

activity since then the family lives

00:13:21

from growing onions mecinus his mother

00:13:25

and

00:13:26

[Music]

00:13:27

brother during the dry season from May

00:13:30

to September the only chance to get

00:13:33

enough water is with a diesel powered

00:13:43

pump a liter of diesel currently costs

00:13:46

around $1

00:13:48

us but additional costs continue to rise

00:13:51

year after

00:13:55

year these are challenges that are

00:13:58

becoming increasingly difficult

00:14:00

especially for the younger

00:14:03

[Music]

00:14:06

generation can you help me with the

00:14:08

water

00:14:12

pump annual average income in Tanzania

00:14:16

is just

00:14:17

$1,000 magus's is less than that to

00:14:21

complete a harvest takes months and

00:14:24

brings him

00:14:26

$2,500 but onethird of that goes to the

00:14:33

[Music]

00:14:35

workers so it can see taking like few

00:14:39

months like one month or some 3 weeks or

00:14:42

four weeks to plant here because it is

00:14:45

very tough to plant it always be dry

00:14:47

because this crops you are planting when

00:14:49

in drying season so when it's drying

00:14:51

season and when we plant the land is

00:14:54

being hard compared to now when we have

00:14:56

watered it's being hard so the they

00:14:58

using much of power to keep it on the

00:15:02

ground up here in the mountains at an

00:15:04

altitude of 1,500 m meinas is not yet

00:15:08

feeling any effects of global warming

00:15:11

nevertheless tanzania's Young Generation

00:15:14

wants to switch to renewable energies

00:15:17

simply to save

00:15:18

costs I asked from the support from the

00:15:21

government to bring for me the

00:15:23

electricity so that because that machine

00:15:26

it use water it use fuel

00:15:29

diesel fuel from the buying I always go

00:15:32

to buy and watering so ask the support

00:15:35

from the government that can help me to

00:15:37

bring the electricity they said no

00:15:41

because you alone you can't bring

00:15:42

electricity maybe there could be a lot

00:15:44

of people I could bring the electricity

00:15:46

so that's giving me challenge because

00:15:50

some of the days even I don't have some

00:15:53

money to go to

00:15:54

buy go to buy oil so that

00:16:00

mcus has no Wholesale customer he sells

00:16:04

his Goods to individual customers

00:16:07

himself they find him along the roadside

00:16:10

when it's harvest time and simply drop

00:16:14

by even though the highway is dangerous

00:16:17

for him it represents a chance for a

00:16:20

better

00:16:21

life mecinus is life's goal was to be a

00:16:25

doctor not a farmer but for now he had

00:16:28

has to keep the farm

00:16:31

running I can't pay my school fees for

00:16:34

myself so I have to come here to work to

00:16:36

get school fees and to pay for the study

00:16:40

the is about to send my sons to those

00:16:44

good school so that they can get good

00:16:46

education so that can be come to help

00:16:48

them when they have their own life later

00:16:52

on so that's why I'm

00:16:55

struggling the Young Generation somehow

00:16:58

manages to get by it's the Fate for many

00:17:01

in

00:17:02

Tanzania mecinus is hoping for a good

00:17:07

harvest while the bus with controller

00:17:10

Samson and Driver Alberto is hoping to

00:17:13

get through the katanga today without

00:17:20

incident the schedule is well thought

00:17:22

out yes we have a plan and we don't make

00:17:25

any stops that are not necessary so we

00:17:27

arrive on time

00:17:33

the mountain pass is like threading the

00:17:35

eye of a

00:17:39

needle many truck drivers work as

00:17:42

subcontractors they are responsible for

00:17:45

the condition of their vehicles from

00:17:47

time to time some break

00:17:52

down the risks of overtaking Maneuvers

00:17:55

increase with every kilometer

00:17:59

yeah it's to

00:18:00

overtake the sence the sence says no

00:18:05

overtake toake but when when we drive

00:18:09

the bus we're supposed to overtake

00:18:10

because the bus always is har you see

00:18:13

the bus always is

00:18:16

but even if even if you are not allowed

00:18:20

to overtake but some sometimes you do

00:18:25

it in the towns speed bumps attempt to

00:18:29

reduce the pace of things permitted is

00:18:32

50 mph but even that only helps to a

00:18:35

limited

00:18:40

extent those stuck on the road who don't

00:18:43

have a warning triangle start a fire or

00:18:46

drag branches onto the road to warn

00:18:48

other

00:18:57

vehicles

00:18:59

finally the bus approaches the last

00:19:02

major town before katanga

00:19:11

ilula ilula is the last chance for a

00:19:15

break before heading through the most

00:19:17

dangerous part of the journey many use

00:19:20

the time to stretch their legs and the

00:19:22

stores bars and restaurants especially

00:19:25

the

00:19:27

truckers

00:19:33

buses pass at least whenever the chance

00:19:39

allows according to statistics Tanzania

00:19:42

does not have a conspicuously high

00:19:44

accident rate but when a crash occurs

00:19:48

the fatality count is

00:19:51

high tanzanians can get a driver's

00:19:54

license at age

00:19:57

18 like here at the Dua Driving

00:20:01

School courses should actually be taking

00:20:04

place here right now today's curriculum

00:20:07

included accelerating refueling and

00:20:10

shifting gears but today classes have

00:20:14

been

00:20:16

cancelled there are more important

00:20:19

things to do the driving school car is

00:20:21

broken and has been in the workshop for

00:20:24

a

00:20:27

week

00:20:29

driving instructor M Nama is hoping his

00:20:32

driving school car will be Road ready

00:20:34

again in just a few

00:20:36

hours the problem occurred when a

00:20:38

student driver hit another car during a

00:20:45

lesson the mindset of the student was

00:20:48

not

00:20:49

like the

00:20:54

reason seems the student was the uh

00:20:58

was drinking too much was was

00:21:02

drunk in Tanzania the alcohol limit for

00:21:05

private motorists is

00:21:07

0.8 professional drivers are not allowed

00:21:11

a single

00:21:15

drop that's the problem this is the

00:21:19

car the car should actually be running

00:21:22

again today but even after a week of

00:21:25

repairs its condition is still uh

00:21:28

borderline repair men are still scraping

00:21:31

and sanding the body auto repair

00:21:34

Tanzanian style the main thing is that

00:21:37

the car is roadworthy again detail work

00:21:41

is just not that

00:21:46

important the car rear ended another

00:21:50

car the windshield was

00:21:53

shattered and a few parts in the

00:21:55

interior were

00:21:57

broken

00:22:05

take a look at the new

00:22:07

windshield you can lift up the old one

00:22:09

and take a look at that one we just

00:22:10

changed

00:22:12

it the new one's in

00:22:14

already that's the old

00:22:21

one fortunately the windshield has

00:22:24

already been replaced the most important

00:22:26

thing was fixed

00:22:29

it was just a minor

00:22:38

[Music]

00:22:39

accident the driving instructor

00:22:41

prevented the worst case otherwise it

00:22:44

would have been a total

00:22:46

loss if you look inside the car you can

00:22:49

see that everything is all

00:22:54

right there's a set of pedals on the

00:22:57

student side and on the instructor's

00:22:59

side here on the instructor's side we

00:23:02

have a break and a clutch so if there's

00:23:04

a mistake we can step on a pedal to

00:23:06

prevent an accident the driving

00:23:09

instructor did as much as he could his

00:23:11

foot was on the brake so nothing should

00:23:13

have gone wrong but the student had his

00:23:15

foot on the gas at the same time and

00:23:18

then it just

00:23:22

happened once the body work has been

00:23:25

repaired the next task is the interior

00:23:29

at first no one knows the amount of

00:23:31

damage sustained the mechanic's biggest

00:23:34

concerns are the engine and clutch and

00:23:37

time pressure is

00:23:38

mounting the driver trainees are already

00:23:41

waiting to apply for a job as early as

00:23:44

possible they need a driver's license to

00:23:47

be able to navigate the katanga

00:23:49

tanzania's most hazardous

00:23:52

Road meanwhile bus driver Alberto has

00:23:55

already arrived he hopes to deliver

00:23:58

about 50 passengers safely to their

00:24:01

destination fender benders and minor

00:24:04

accidents are part of everyday life but

00:24:06

time and again fatalities do occur in

00:24:09

2020 an overloaded bus overturned and

00:24:11

slid down a slope the result 10 dead and

00:24:14

50 injured Alberto nevertheless remains

00:24:19

relaxed the kitonga is not such a big

00:24:21

problem the challenge is

00:24:24

simple there are many cars many trucks

00:24:27

so we have to be

00:24:28

careful we have a lot of experience

00:24:30

avoiding

00:24:32

accidents and we try our

00:24:40

best hundreds of meters of steep

00:24:43

gradient with just two lanes and that

00:24:46

over a distance of 8 km stalled trucks

00:24:50

are considered harmless the route from

00:24:53

the coast to the Congo is packed with

00:24:55

dozens of coaches and many more trucks

00:24:58

transporting their goods over 1,000 kilm

00:25:02

cross

00:25:04

country this leads to risky passing

00:25:07

Maneuvers every single

00:25:09

minute for buses trucks and Passenger

00:25:15

cars they also must keep an eye out for

00:25:18

pedestrians mainly Street vendors in the

00:25:21

middle of the

00:25:24

roadway be it engine damage or traffic

00:25:27

jam

00:25:28

they make sure that no one is stuck on

00:25:31

the road with an empty

00:25:35

stomach above all the katanga is a

00:25:38

chance for vendors to earn a little

00:25:40

money to help them make ends

00:25:48

meat at the upper end of the katanga

00:25:51

students earn pocket money this way

00:25:54

Jerome's parents are farmers his family

00:25:57

does doesn't pay school fees that is

00:25:59

paid by the state but students have to

00:26:02

buy their school uniforms and books

00:26:07

themselves that's why Jerome buys a sack

00:26:10

of corn from a neighboring farmer during

00:26:12

school holidays out of his own

00:26:16

pocket we all go to the farm harvest the

00:26:20

corn take everything with us and come

00:26:22

here everyone does it that way everyone

00:26:26

can take a Hut here sell corn and hire

00:26:29

their own

00:26:30

people then in the evening everybody

00:26:33

pays their workers I usually hire two

00:26:36

people and let them sell the

00:26:40

corn Jerome buys corn from the farmer

00:26:43

for 200 Shillings per con the equivalent

00:26:46

of around 8 American cents his buddies

00:26:50

then sell them grilled for 2 and 1/2

00:26:53

times

00:26:56

that

00:27:01

their best customers are truck drivers

00:27:04

they don't even have to stop students

00:27:07

offer the truckers a fast inexpensive

00:27:10

drive-thru option so to

00:27:22

speak for that they receive a small

00:27:25

commission from Jerome

00:27:35

if I get 200 corn on the carob but don't

00:27:38

sell them all my profit drops to

00:27:40

20,000 that's when things go badly yes

00:27:43

that's bad and when things go

00:27:46

well if things go well my profit is

00:27:52

50,000 with the profit we buy school

00:27:55

supplies such as school uniforms and

00:28:00

shoes and private stuff like

00:28:06

clothes but I try to save most of my

00:28:09

money for when it's

00:28:12

needed on good days this amounts to the

00:28:15

equivalent of $20 Us in profit on bad

00:28:19

days just

00:28:26

eight

00:28:31

there is not much to do during school

00:28:33

Vacations so the guys enjoy selling corn

00:28:37

on the

00:28:38

[Music]

00:28:42

roadside life is cool I have younger

00:28:46

siblings one of them is there behind me

00:28:48

we all work in

00:28:52

agriculture do you know Cristiano

00:28:56

Ronaldo

00:28:59

when I grow up I will be a soccer player

00:29:01

just like him I have just as much

00:29:05

talent along with boxing soccer is one

00:29:09

of the most popular sports in

00:29:11

Tanzania even though no African country

00:29:14

has ever won the soccer World Cup these

00:29:18

are all opportunities for tanzania's

00:29:20

Young Generation to live the

00:29:23

[Applause]

00:29:25

dream even if it takes strength and

00:29:31

[Applause]

00:29:38

[Applause]

00:29:47

endurance students at the local driving

00:29:50

school have a little more money and less

00:29:53

alluring

00:29:55

dreams at the age of 18

00:29:58

they are allowed behind the wheel and

00:30:00

many hope to get their driver's license

00:30:02

as soon as

00:30:05

[Music]

00:30:08

possible first of all that means

00:30:11

cramming for the theoretical

00:30:15

and we have some books here that we are

00:30:18

going to use because we are nearly

00:30:24

to uh driving plug

00:30:29

position today's lesson for the two

00:30:31

students is gear

00:30:34

[Music]

00:30:38

shifting if you want to go to a gear

00:30:41

number one you must make sure that you

00:30:44

move first the gear r to this

00:30:48

side then you go at the left side if you

00:30:52

go forward means that one is a year

00:30:55

number one

00:30:57

then if you go back means that one is

00:31:02

gear number

00:31:07

two you can make sure that the gear rer

00:31:12

it at the neutral

00:31:15

point

00:31:17

then you use the

00:31:20

clutch after then you move that gear ler

00:31:23

to a gear

00:31:25

number three in Tanzania there are state

00:31:28

run driving schools as well as private

00:31:30

ones like this students hope to get a

00:31:33

better education here they must pay $160

00:31:37

us the driving school gets 100 the state

00:31:41

60 if you want to get a job to a big

00:31:45

companies to a

00:31:47

private owners means you you must show

00:31:51

the license we have a lot of students

00:31:55

they are now driving huge cars

00:32:00

trucks and other they are just waiting

00:32:03

for the job because getting job is is

00:32:06

just a

00:32:07

process you

00:32:09

must have

00:32:12

a what the they say experience so

00:32:16

experience

00:32:18

comes to ensure that the next practical

00:32:21

lesson does not end in another accident

00:32:24

student drivers first train in a called

00:32:40

simulator first thing when I enter to

00:32:43

the car I close the belt I step to the

00:32:47

clutch and

00:32:50

break I switch on my car I P the gear

00:32:54

number one which is found in the left

00:32:59

after that I move my leg to the Blake I

00:33:02

set to the

00:33:06

accelator my dashboard

00:33:10

itm

00:33:14

[Music]

00:33:16

2 gas brake clutch and gear shift sounds

00:33:21

simple but the country's most dangerous

00:33:23

stretch of road is just around the

00:33:25

corner and behind the wheel it also

00:33:28

offers the chance to earn some money

00:33:32

IAT I want to be a

00:33:35

driver for people because many people

00:33:40

want to travel but the drivers are very

00:33:43

few that's why I want to drive the bus

00:33:47

no one can tell me I am a good driver

00:33:51

that is my mind which tell me I am a

00:33:54

good driver why are you are you closing

00:33:58

the

00:34:00

belt the next step is to get the driving

00:34:03

school's real car back from the workshop

00:34:06

on time the trainee drivers are eager to

00:34:09

get out on the road as quickly as

00:34:12

[Music]

00:34:13

possible experienced bus driver Alberto

00:34:17

has just reached the most demanding spot

00:34:19

of all the heart of the

00:34:22

katanga trucks lying in the ditch are

00:34:25

quite normal sight

00:34:38

always the bus is high speed and the

00:34:41

tracks as you can see is low speed so

00:34:46

you you if you if you drive a bus you

00:34:49

can follow the truck just like this it's

00:34:53

going to speed 10 speed whatever 10

00:34:56

forward

00:34:59

but a few seconds later everything comes

00:35:02

to a

00:35:06

standstill then without further warning

00:35:09

Samson swings out and tries to guide the

00:35:12

bus through moving from Gap to

00:35:16

Gap this is the bus crew's only chance

00:35:19

of keeping to the timetable and for the

00:35:21

passengers to reach their destination on

00:35:25

time

00:35:30

uneasiness is gradually

00:35:34

spreading Samson meanwhile searches for

00:35:37

the cause of the traffic jam he battles

00:35:40

his way through truck by truck and sends

00:35:43

a status

00:35:46

report at the same time driver Alberto

00:35:49

makes use of every Gap to further his

00:35:52

progress but with oncoming traffic there

00:35:55

is no chance no no one knows when the

00:35:57

journey will continue for those who have

00:36:00

a complete breakdown there are plenty of

00:36:03

roadside signs for garages and towing

00:36:10

services whoever calls them will end up

00:36:13

in places like

00:36:16

this the truck Workshop near katanga

00:36:19

rebuilds everything that has 4 8 12 or

00:36:23

more Wheels according to customer wishes

00:36:27

no matter if brand new or nearly

00:36:37

scrap a semi learned how to repair cars

00:36:40

and trucks on the road as a

00:36:42

teenager he has been working here for 6

00:36:45

years and does everything from

00:36:47

refurbishing chassis to changing multi

00:36:50

axles and

00:36:52

engines an electric shock was the worst

00:36:55

thing that ever happened happened to

00:37:01

him I can't remember my toughest

00:37:05

job I've done so many rebuilds and have

00:37:08

so much

00:37:10

experience but I do remember pain one

00:37:13

day I nearly got

00:37:14

electrocuted I remember that when I got

00:37:18

that electric

00:37:24

shock when you start in store like this

00:37:27

you're faced with a lot of

00:37:31

things the grounding for the machine has

00:37:33

to be connected to the

00:37:35

chassis we did that here

00:37:38

too there's a wire which has to go in a

00:37:40

sheath just like the welding wire

00:37:44

itself when the wire has contact with a

00:37:46

chassis you're bound to get a shock

00:37:49

because the circuit is

00:37:51

closed your only hope is that someone

00:37:53

finds you and sees what's going on and

00:37:56

quickly connect

00:37:59

you

00:38:00

hey

00:38:03

hey several dozen vehicles are piled up

00:38:06

on the site a semi gets each car up and

00:38:09

running again within 2 weeks including

00:38:13

modifications that is if the customer

00:38:15

has enough cash and can afford it at the

00:38:18

drop of a hat the rule here is if it

00:38:22

doesn't fit it will be made to fit all

00:38:26

of according to your desired design from

00:38:29

Custom welded tractor trailers and

00:38:32

completely refurbished six axle vehicles

00:38:35

to installing all new engines ASI is

00:38:39

your

00:38:55

guy

00:39:03

this one for example came with its own

00:39:07

chassis here we disassembled everything

00:39:10

cylinders and all now we're going to

00:39:12

mount a double chassis in two

00:39:18

[Music]

00:39:20

axles here we've also added extra

00:39:23

axles now they're two in the back and

00:39:25

two in the front

00:39:27

it's almost finished we just need to

00:39:29

paint

00:39:32

it a semi and his boys make sure

00:39:35

everything ends up back on the road like

00:39:38

this

00:39:41

car actually the car was on its way from

00:39:44

the east coast of Africa to the interior

00:39:47

of the continent or more precisely to

00:39:49

the Congo but on the way there the

00:39:52

driver had an accident now the task is

00:39:55

fixing the car car as quickly as

00:39:57

possible so it can continue on what may

00:40:00

be its final

00:40:03

Journey Workshop employees use their

00:40:06

truck to lift everything they can off

00:40:08

the

00:40:11

road we use the crane to lift the cars

00:40:14

up and get them off the

00:40:16

road the person who controls it has the

00:40:19

most important

00:40:20

job we have to rely on

00:40:23

him if the car crashes down after we've

00:40:26

got it in the air it's our

00:40:28

fault the man who made the mistake is

00:40:30

from our

00:40:33

company if we have to change an engine

00:40:35

quickly we also use the crane to get it

00:40:37

out and fix it

00:40:42

here the kitanga is one of the most

00:40:45

important sources of income for the

00:40:48

workshop when you break down here they

00:40:51

get the call serious accidents make up a

00:40:54

big part of the workshop Serv survival

00:40:57

much like for tanzania's younger

00:40:59

generation who are looking for a

00:41:05

job it's not only the owners of the

00:41:07

crane who make money from all this it's

00:41:10

also the young people we always take a

00:41:13

few with us they help us to lift the

00:41:16

trucks and attach the chains that way

00:41:18

they make a little

00:41:21

money on the katanga the motto is

00:41:25

everything that can be fixed will be

00:41:27

fixed whether trucks cars or buses but

00:41:32

they also cause accidents and traffic

00:41:36

jams like right

00:41:41

now every day the most important

00:41:44

requirement of the bus crew is to reach

00:41:46

their destination on time stay on

00:41:49

schedule at all costs meanwhile ticket

00:41:53

taker Samson has identified the cause of

00:41:55

the traffic Jam there's several broken

00:41:58

down trucks up ahead the key is to

00:42:01

overtake them as quickly as

00:42:04

possible if if you want to be in time

00:42:07

with your customer if you you pass this

00:42:09

mountain if you pass it

00:42:12

is you can take it if if there are

00:42:17

possible see that possible you can pass

00:42:21

it a break down

00:42:24

there there a break down

00:42:26

there so this way is true so if the

00:42:31

problem

00:42:32

this in this in this

00:42:35

area it's a big problem it's

00:42:39

a big

00:42:41

conenction you see okay let's

00:42:51

go Ah that's bad that's bad

00:43:05

accidents like this are a big problem

00:43:07

for everyone on the

00:43:11

road but it's a welcome change for the

00:43:14

numerous animals watching from the

00:43:17

[Music]

00:43:19

roadside in this case for the

00:43:25

monkeys

00:43:29

a brief glimpse of tanzania's diverse

00:43:35

Wildlife the national parks around the

00:43:38

katanga are home to numerous

00:43:42

[Music]

00:43:47

species among them are

00:43:51

[Music]

00:43:55

lions

00:43:57

[Music]

00:44:00

cheetah and

00:44:03

leopards and also Wilder

00:44:06

beasts

00:44:10

zebras

00:44:12

gazel and

00:44:21

elephants once the katanga is behind you

00:44:24

animals of another kind kind await the

00:44:26

hungry

00:44:29

Travelers freshly prepared as a tasty

00:44:32

treat for the road

00:44:36

trip like at the katanga poly culture

00:44:39

agriculture

00:44:43

Farm 21-year-old Flora takes care of

00:44:47

everything from Tad poles to pregnant

00:44:50

females

00:44:51

here it's best to use this

00:44:54

one

00:44:56

up to the fat ones that ultimately end

00:44:59

up in the cooking

00:45:05

[Music]

00:45:07

oil we grow tilapia here because many

00:45:10

people like to eat

00:45:16

tilapia catfish on the other hand is not

00:45:19

so popular we sell the big fish's food

00:45:22

and earn some money from

00:45:24

it

00:45:29

around 400 fish thrash about in each of

00:45:32

the four tanks until slaughtered their

00:45:35

most important task is to lay eggs to

00:45:38

keep the population

00:45:44

expanding one of the Farm's most vital

00:45:46

means of subsistence is the highway as

00:45:50

it is for nearly everyone in the

00:45:54

region

00:46:00

we benefit from the proximity to the

00:46:02

road all kinds of goods come to us

00:46:05

directly from the capital Dar

00:46:12

Salam it's also much easier to transport

00:46:15

animals freshly hatched chicks for

00:46:20

example it's also good for selling

00:46:24

food

00:46:27

the buses stop only briefly so

00:46:29

passengers take their food with them and

00:46:31

quickly move

00:46:35

on besides fish Farmers also raise

00:46:39

chickens geese and

00:46:45

turkeys hardly any of the chickens here

00:46:48

have ever enjoyed a natural existence

00:46:52

their birthplace is in a factory at the

00:46:54

end of the highway in the biggest city

00:46:57

of

00:47:01

[Music]

00:47:11

Tanzania we have our own machines in Dar

00:47:14

Salam where we hatch chicks and sell

00:47:17

them after 3

00:47:24

months

00:47:26

we raise them and when they're ready we

00:47:29

sell them full grown on the street and

00:47:31

in our

00:47:38

store we also sell turkeys and

00:47:41

geese if someone wants

00:47:52

them with tanzania's enormous population

00:47:55

grow growth and the increasing number of

00:47:57

tourists mainly visiting the national

00:47:59

parks the number of Travelers is also

00:48:03

steadily increasing and with it the sale

00:48:06

of fresh fast food on the Go Fish and

00:48:10

Chicken are ideal and increasingly

00:48:24

popular

00:48:27

we want to open a rest stop here

serving but Travelers don't only get

00:51:47

fresh meat from here fresh vegetables

00:51:52

available the Farm Workers are on their

00:51:54

way to the the fields where they grow

00:51:57

them the fields are located across the

00:52:00

highway closer to the

00:52:04

mountains to get there they first have

00:52:07

to cross a

00:52:13

river the only way to get across is with

00:52:16

a basket on a tot

00:52:23

wire Farm owners strung the Rope

00:52:34

themselves everyone in the region may

00:52:36

use this passage as they wish it is

00:52:40

known to everyone here and it is the

00:52:43

only way to get to the highway to get

again after about a half an hour the

00:53:54

farmers approached the

00:53:59

beanfield their hope is to cultivate the

00:54:02

land well and then sell what they

00:54:09

reap we have many many activity which

00:54:13

done so if we are for our capacity we

00:54:17

cannot control all of them we we can

00:54:21

deal we can B with some and some we can

00:54:24

sell in order to make it be better

00:54:29

yeah increasing growth increasing

Tanzania Dar

00:58:23

Salam

00:58:26

from that moment on everyone leaves the

00:58:28

katanga

00:58:36

behind most of them at least one person

00:58:41

probably still has his most dangerous

00:58:44

journey ahead of

00:58:46

him the driving school car has been

00:58:49

repaired the next driving lesson is just

00:58:52

a few minutes away but before taking off

00:58:56

the student has to take care of some

00:58:58

important

00:58:59

details

00:59:01

app for this time we are going to put

00:59:03

water in the

00:59:05

rator in order to order to drive the

00:59:10

car after then you are going to see the

00:59:15

oil you measure the oil

00:59:17

here I know

00:59:21

how everything looks good now now the

00:59:25

car just needs to

00:59:44

start the driving lesson can

00:59:51

begin before driving you must

00:59:55

[Music]

00:59:56

uh use a

01:00:00

build the final goal of the student

01:00:02

driver is to learn to drive big trucks

01:00:05

and buses as soon as possible it's his

01:00:08

chance to earn a regular income but to

01:00:11

do that he first has to learn how to

01:00:14

drive a normal

01:00:23

car

01:00:25

today's task shifting gears and holding

01:00:29

to the

01:00:39

Lane the road leads directly to the most

01:00:42

dangerous section of all the

01:00:49

katanga but from the start the driving

01:00:52

lesson is not exactly going

01:00:56

well well there's no problem

01:00:59

but the problem

01:01:01

is INS side of the

01:01:05

student uh he's he's just trying to to

01:01:09

to his

01:01:17

M according to studies young men cause a

01:01:20

large number of accidents one of the

01:01:23

main reasons besides alcohol is lack of

01:01:30

[Music]

01:01:35

experience I

01:01:38

think uh it is not it is he knowledge is

01:01:44

knowledge enough

01:01:47

but L

01:01:49

confidence what is needed there is

01:01:53

confidence

01:01:56

on the line the student seems to become

01:01:59

more tense by the second unnerving the

01:02:02

driving instructors as

01:02:05

well after just a few minutes it becomes

01:02:08

clear for him maneuvering the katanga

01:02:11

the most dangerous road in Tanzania is

01:02:14

still a long way off he needs more

01:02:18

practice uh I think

01:02:21

almost one week

01:02:25

driving

01:02:27

uh yeah almost a week one week every day

01:02:33

yeah one week every day at

01:02:35

least 2 hours per day for those uh 7

01:02:42

Days despite all the hurdles and dangers

01:02:46

tanzania's Young Generation will not be

01:02:49

detered from their dreams of a good

01:02:51

income and the chance for a good life so

01:02:53

about driving which can make me to be a

01:03:06

01:03:10

01:03:15

challenge to drive the people you can

01:03:18

Description:

Tanzania: Young Guns on the Road | World's Most Dangerous Roads World's Most Dangerous Roads - All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLgqOez346ZOo1DO-c6XIOHj604hM8ixA In Africa, in the mountains in the heart of Tanzania lies the country’s most dangerous road. It‘s Name: Mlima Kitonga. This most dangerous section of the A7 highway is just eight kilometers long. But the gradient is extreme. And the abyss is deep. Dangerous passing maneuvers whether with trucks or fully loaded tankers are the rule, not the exception. Every day hundreds of coaches and trucks negotiate the passage. By no means do all of them make it. But the highway is also the lifeline of the region, especially for the young generation. The average age in Tanzania is just seventeen years. The population is growing rapidly and everyone is anxious to get from A to B as well as to get jobs. Because of that, despite all the difficulties numerous farmers manage to survive, thanks to the Highway. Not only bus driver Alberto will be at the wheel on the most dangerous road in Tanzania. Also driving teacher Mnyama has to bring his students to the right level of being able to drive in this region. A driving school offers the young generation a chance to get a job and by that have the chance for a better future. Anyways the Highway allows numerous businesses like onion farmers and garages for trucks to thrive. And as the Tanzanian population keeps growing, it is only a matter of time before more and more young guns will start to hit that road. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary Channel for free: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCijcd0GR0fkxCAZwkiuWqtQ?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bringing high-class documentaries to you on YouTube for free with the latest camera equipment used by well-known filmmakers working for famous production studios.
