He gave good health to me together with my family so as I could conduct my study peacefully. Many thanks should also go the people who supported me financially and by giving advice, criticism, the relevant data and any help when conducting this research. It will be difficult to mention all but it should be understood that they are very important and I appreciate their contribution they provided throughout my study. I am very thankful to my supervisor Prof. Casmir Rubagumya in a very special way for his valuable guidance, correction and criticism which have contributed much to the success of this study. He tirelessly spent much of his time reading the work from the first stage of proposal up to the end of the report. I highly appreciate his tolerance of directing me to make the study possible. I am also very thankful to Dr. Rafiki Sebonde my lecturer on Research Methodology in Humanities. She imparted me the basic knowledge and skills on how to conduct research in languages. Her lectures inspired my thinking and writing this study confidently implementing what I have learnt during the course. My thanks should also go to my lovely husband Mr. Ezekiel Njilo who supported me financially during my studies and encouraged me throughout my study. He carried most of the family responsibilities when I was studying. This hindered his plan and made him postpone some of his programmes. I remember his words “kwa kuwa iii kusoma kwako ni jambo la muhimu basi itabidi nivumilie lakini kama isingekua hivyo nisingekuruhusu”. (Since your study is very important I had to allow you otherwise it could be difficult). I highly appreciate your contribution knowing that it could be difficult to reach this success in absence of your tolerance. My gratitude is to reach my children Cones, Yusufu and Prisila Njilo who tolerated me for being far from them. This encouraged me to study peacefully and fearlessly. I also give thanks to my respondents Dr. B. Mwasaka who provided me the transport and the driver to reach Ilembo Usafwa his mother land for some very important information, chief Custom Mwanyanje, Bahati Mboya and others who provided me with the data needed. They were cooperative especially when I went back asking for some elaboration during report writing. My gratitude is also to reach the University of Dodoma, specifically the Principal of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Prof. C. Rubagumya, the Dean Prof. Madumulla, the Coordinator for Graduate Studies Dr. Songoyi for their efforts and making sure that we get all services needed during our study. Much thanks to my lecturers Prof. Kahigi, Prof. Rubagumya, Dr. Sebonde, Dr. Musyoka, Dr. Malangwa, and Dr. Upor for their lectures and all the advice provided us. Lastly, but not according to its importance, this study could not succeed if not the close cooperation that I got from my fellow classmates who were studying Master of Arts in Linguistics 2011-2013 at UDOM. They advised and helped me with materials used in literature review. May our Almighty God bless you all. iv DEDICATION To my husband Ezekiel, Our beloved children Cones, Yusufu and Prisila Njilo. You are part and parcel of my success. May our almighty God give you long life. v ABSTRACT This research aimed at exploring the naming system and gender construction in Safwa ethnic group. The study was conducted through the interviews and focus group discussion which provided the primary data, where by the semi structured questions were administered to the respondents who gave the required information concerning this study, and library reading which gave the experience on how other researchers have discovered in issues related to my study. The study area was Mbeya rural specifically in the two divisions which are Usongwe and Tembela. It was guided by three questions: (1) what are common names in Safwa ethnic group and how do these names relate to gender construction? (2) What is the relationship between the meaning of the name and the behaviour of the person called that name? (3)What is the relationship between the naming system and language? Research findings show that Safwa people give names which are typically meaningful and are depending to a certain reason. It was also discovered that, there is a big relationship between the meaning of the name and the behaviour of the person called that name, especially when the name is given during adulthood. Apart from this it was revealed that naming system and language can not be separated because there are no names without language and through names one can get a certain meaning and know the culture of the area where the name is used. vi TABLE OF CONTENT CERTIFICATION .......................................................................................................... i DECLARATION AND COPYRIGHT ......................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ........................................................................................... iii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................... v ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................. vi TABLE OF CONTENT .............................................................................................. vii LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................... xi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ..................................................................................... xii CHAPTER ONE ............................................................................................................ 1 1.1 Introduction .............................................................................................................. 1 1.2 Background to the problem ...................................................................................... 1 1.3 Statement of the problem ......................................................................................... 3 1.4 Objectives of the Study ............................................................................................ 5 1.4.1 General Objective ................................................................................................. 5 1.4.2 Specific Objectives ............................................................................................... 5 1.5 Research questions ................................................................................................... 5 1.6 Significance of the study .......................................................................................... 5 1.7 Scope of the study .................................................................................................... 6 1.8 Limitation of the study ............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER TWO ........................................................................................................... 8 LITERATURE REVIEW .............................................................................................. 8 2.1 Introduction .............................................................................................................. 8 2.2 Theoretical Framework ............................................................................................ 8 2.3 The history and meaning of names .......................................................................... 9 2.4 Personal names ....................................................................................................... 14 2.5 Similarities and Differences in naming .................................................................. 16 2.6 The relationship between ones name and behaviour ............................................

Box 3005, Morogoro, Tanzania *Email of corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Smallholder farmers in Mbeya Rural and Makete Districts recognise food insecurity as a problem affecting them. They also recognise the potential of round potato as a crop contributing to household food security. However, the extent to which the crop contributes to food security had not been quantified. The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of potato production to household food security in Mbeya and Makete Districts in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. The specific objectives of the paper are to: (1) analyse round potato production and other crops grown in the study area, (2) assess food security in terms of dietary energy consumed (DEC) and (3) determine the impact of round potato production on food security. Multistage sampling was used to select 233 potato farmers. The research was a cross-sectional one and was conducted mainly through structured interviews using a questionnaire, which was supplemented with focus group discussions and key informant interviews.

INTRODUCTION Tanzania has traditionally depended on hydropower and fossil fuel for power generation until the recent past when the use of Natural Gas for power generation took a lead in the power generation mix1. The current generation mix is unsustainable largely due to persistent and frequent droughts and unpredictable fossil fuel price variations which have adversely resulted in severe power supply shortages in the country with detrimental effect oN the country’s economy. Due to this challenge, the government has decided to improve the generation mix by using other locally available sources of energy including Geothermal which is independent of the influence of weather cycles and fossil fuel price variations2. In order to fast-track the Geothermal development in Tanzania, the Government of Tanzania (GOT) established the Tanzania Geothermal Development Company Limited (TGDC) in December 2013 as a subsidiary Company of TANESCO with institutional mandate for facilitating and expediting realization of geothermal energy development in the country.
