"Article 45 of the draft, unveiled last week, recognises minority groups such as hunter-gatherers — mainly the Hadzabe and Akiye ethnic groups — for the first time since Independence, over 50 years ago. The Hadzabe and Akiye, whose combined population in the country does not exceed 2,000, live in northern Tanzania and their livelihood depends on wild fruits, honey, and wild meat. Article 45 specifically provides that the state shall put in place an affirmative legal framework designed to ensure that minority groups participate and are represented in all governance structures." theeastafrican.co.ke/news/Tanzania-s-forgotten-minority-groups-win-rights-/-/2558/1876206/-/item/0/-/as2qkyz/-/index.html
