Abstract
The report is about my field and more it is describing where, what and how the field was conducted. My field was contacted at Immigration Tunduma Tanzania and my work place i.e. I’m currently working as one of the immigration officers. As this center is dealing with migration it uses information system and thus it was relevant for me to practice some information system activities taking place over there in relation to my course of study (MIS) at Teofilo Kisanji University.
Introduction
My field took place at Zambia-Tanzania Border Immigration Tunduma 100km away from Mbeya-City. The center has thirty (30) Employees including my self. Its address is P. O. Box 34 Tunduma – Mbeya Tanzania. The history of Immigration Services in Tanzania is a three- fold account, dating back from the pre-independence period, the post independence period and the period after the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964.
PRE-INDEPENDENCE
During this era, Immigration services were rendered for the interest of colonial masters. Some of the laws were not applicable to Africans. Under German domination, Tanganyika had no coded laws to regulate Immigration issues. It was in 1924 during the British era, when various pieces of legislations were enacted to regulate matters pertaining to Immigration. The first Immigration legislation was known as Immigration Ordinance (cap 37) of 1924. This Ordinance was replaced by (The Emergency Laws Transitional Provisions) Ordinance of 1946. The Emergency Laws Transitional Provisions Ordinance 1946 was repealed and replaced by the Immigration Control Ordinance, 1948.
