In just about 40 years, the city of Dodoma has grown from just a small town in the middle of nowhere to Tanzania’s capital. Tanzania is not the first country to shift its capital. Malawi moved its capital from Zomba to Lilongwe in 1975, while Nigeria effected a similar change from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. BBC Africa Senior Business Reporter Peter Mwangangi went to Dodoma to find out how the city is changing, and what is being done to respond to the increased demand for accommodation.
