Have you ever visited Mnadani in Dodoma?

Any one visiting Dodoma, the Tanzania’s capital city, will not have his pleasure complete if he/she does not spend a weekend there and use Saturday to visit the famous and popular Mnada (market) where you have the largest gathering of meat eating, drinking and symbiotic petty trading taking place there. This the place where the highly and the lowly sit together to enjoy the taste of roast meat beef, mutton, or pig meat, washed down the throat by the drink of ones choices. Beer, wine, whisky, soda or the traditional liquors, all available in plenty. and you have traditional foods by the Gogo (the native tribe in Dodoma). Mnada is such traditional in its look and design where the siting arrangement is communal, casual shaded by make-shift rickety huts thatched by tarpaulins or plastic sheeting. The day at Mnada starts in a less busy fashion, but as it wears on, you start seeing poshy cars, buses and lorries vomiting people onto the place. When it reaches 17 hours, it is thronged, noisy with orders for fresh supply of meat, drinks or other services filling the air. This is the place you must go if you visit Dodoma.
