Land Ownership in Tanzania

Does anyone know if it is true that individuals in Tanzania are not allowed to personally own land, because all land is owned by the government? I heard that an individual may apply for a 99-year land lease from the government, but may have the lease revoked if they do not do something productive with the land within the first 3 years of the lease. I also heard that only Tanzania citizens may lease land in Tanzania.

Any insights that anyone may have on land "ownership" in Tanzania would be appreciated. Asante!

Leasing

Sijui serikali ya Tanzania wanafikiri kupokea hera za wageni kama wageni hawawezi kununua nchi. Wanaogopa nini kuuza?

Basically true.

Basically true. Non-citizens can lease land for certain investment purposes. More detail:
