Mwanza is a mid-sized port city on the southern shores of Lake Victoria in northwestern Tanzania. With a population of over 700,000, it is Tanzania's second largest city, following Dar es Salaam. Mwanza is the capital of the surrounding Mwanza Region.
The Sukuma constitute over 90 percent of the population of the Mwanza Region. Other ethnic groups in the region, in much smaller proportions, include the Zinza, Haya, Sumbwa, Nyamwezi, Luo, Kurya, Jita,((shashi)) and Kerewe. They live mainly in the Mwanza city area. National policy, however, gives very little importance to ethnic groupings and reliable data is difficult to find.
In 2011 the city council announced plans to create a major commercial development in the Ilemela District. Construction works on Rock City Mall are set to be finalized in the second half of 2015. This mall will be the first of its size in Mwanza and one of the biggest malls in the country.
One major occupation of the inhabitants along the shores of Lake Victoria in Mwanza region is fishing, and there are five fish processing plants in the area. Nile perch were previously introduced to the lake, and are exported in large quantities.

You are a princess
You were my princess
You made my heart feel so bad
It's like you told it to just burn and die
It's just a crush
But still it hurts
It hurts so much
Your beauty makes perfect sense
But I feel like I'm out of sync
I gave it my very best
I guess it wasn't meant to be
