education. To TAMKO, studying at the Primary or Secondary school was
just a waste of time!. He therefore didn't spend a lot of time
reading like other children would do, instead, TAMKO engaged secretly
in small businesses of various kinds like selling of
sweets,ciggarates,pencils,and pens among others. He had to do so since
it was against the schools rules and regulations. TAMKO later
decided to drop out of secondary school after being warned several
times by the school's management. He therefore ended up as a street
vendor where he specialized in the sale of small items in the streets
of Dar-es-salaam. It was while in that business that he met mr
Nawaz, who described himself as a Tanzanian of Pakistan origin. Nawaz
made friendship with TAMKO and managed to recruite TAMKO into illegal
business. TAMKO knowingly or unknowingly carried sales of illegal
drugs. To TAMKO this suited him so well since he could make quick deals
in a short time. Nawaz agenda was however different and so he
arranged for a proper training in Pakistan.This made TAMKO so famous
since he acquired the right skills to sell drugs from one country to
another. It took only months and TAMKO was qualified enough to dodge
police men and immigration officers during his trips to Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Kenya, America, europe and the Far East. Within a year and
half TAMKO became a fabulous wealthy man and returned to his native
country where he started his own company. TAMKO changed tricks and got
