For a long time the world has campaigned against child labour, both with local and global efforts. These initiatives however tend to ignore contextual forces such as, specific socio-cultural contexts and societal interpretation of child labour. Scholarship on this subject uncovers several circumstances, reasons, consequences, processes, and challenges of child labour among different communities in Africa. Extant literature also reveals information regarding the complexities of sociocultural dimension in examining child labour practices. Building on the already existing evidence, this paper uncovers sociocultural complexity in explaining child labour practices among semi nomadic pastoral Wataturu communities in Igunga. The paper exploits various information collected through library and archival research, participant observation, and oral interviews to demonstrate how sociocultural set up of Wataturu challenges the mainstream approach to the claimed child labour practices.

This paper demonstrated that identifying and preserving architectural heritage in Dar es Salaam is vital for the preservation of culture and history of the different races. The architectural designs which represent the owners and their origin, borrowing and diffusion from each other are meaningful to the cultural evolution of Dar es Salaam. The use of tropical materials and art borrowed from different culture proves special and unique character of the Dar es Salaam city. The Swahili taste which emerged as a result of racial and cultural interaction and the architectural transformation enriches cosmopolitanism. Thus, the preservation of the foreign and local architecture is the only way to acknowledge and maintain the history of the city. This is partly because it is architectural art which identifies the designer, the culture of origin, material used and social system.
