11 workers of a sugar factory have been killed following an explosion at the factory which is located in Tanzania. The victims included three foreign nationals, police said.

The explosion which happened on Thursday, May 23, 2024, was caused by an electrical fault. The fault caused a steam pipe to burst as a technical team was initiating machines to start production for the day at the privately owned Mtibwa Sugar Factory. Mtibwa is located in the Morogoro region in eastern Tanzania.

The three foreigners were from neighbouring Kenya, Brazil and India. Two other workers were injured in the blast and were treated at the Morogoro hospital. The doctor in charge there, David Ruchamisa, said they were later rushed to the regional capital, Dodoma, for further treatment.

Mtibwa is one of the country’s major sugar producing factories, producing at least 70,000 metric tons of sugar annually, according to government data.
