The TAZARA Railway, also called the Uhuru Railway or the Tanzam Railway, is a railroad in East Africa linking the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania with the town of Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia's Central Province. The single-track railway is 1,860km (1,160mi) long and was built by the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) from 1970 to 1975 as a turnkey project financed and supported by China. At the time of its completion, two years ahead of schedule, the TAZARA was the single longest railway in sub-Saharan Africa. At the cost of US $500 million to build, the TAZARA was the largest single foreign-aid project undertaken by China.
The governments of Tanzania, Zambia and China built the railway to eliminate landlocked Zambia's economic dependence on Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa, both of which were ruled by white-minority governments. The railway provided the only route for bulk trade from Zambia's Copperbelt to reach the sea without having to transit white-ruled territories. The spirit of Pan-Africansocialism among the leaders of Tanzania and Zambia and the symbolism of China's support for newly independent African countries gave rise to TAZARA's designation as the "Great Uhuru Railway", Uhuru being the Swahili word for Freedom.
The Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority, popularly known as TAZARA, is a bi-national railway linking the Southern Africa Regional transport network to Eastern Africa's seaport of Dar es Salaam, offering both freight and passenger transportation services between and within Tanzania and Zambia.

Sun is up should be feeling great, your feeling rough got too much on your plate, a busy day got a lot to do, a heavy head you think you've caught the flu. Something deep inside begins to stir, spirit, conscience your not really sure. It's gonna be okay... It's gonna be okay... Another day your late for work, the shower's cold you ain't got no clean shirt. A cup of tea just might do the trick, the milk's gone off by now feeling sick. Something deep inside begins to stir, spirit, conscience your not really sure. It's gonna be okay... It's gonna be okay... We laughed, we cried, we shared along the way, we did some things we knew we shouldn't do. So after all what's this life living for, work it out or head straight for the door It's gonna be okay...either way It's gonna be okay... You close your eyes, try to sleep. Scold yourself for hours that you keep. Drifting off will I dream tonight? In my dreams perhaps I'll get it right. Something deep inside begins to purrr, spirit, conscience your not really sure. It's gonna be okay... It's gonna be okay...either way
