Winza Ruby - Birth Of A Legend
In November 2007 near the Tanzanian village of Winza rubies were discovered which cause quite a commotion on the international markets.
The story sounds like a fairy tale and actually began in the 1990ies. Back then an old farmer, who meanwhile passed away, reportedly found rubies on his farmland outside the village. Villagers today tell that the old man mined the rubies in secret and sold them to an old Somali man, who in turn sold the gems to traders in Dar es Salaam on regular trips.
Before the Somali deceased not too long ago, he summoned his son, who worked as a watchman in the capital, to his deathbed and passed the secret on to him. When the son, a Mr. Shabani, tried to continue the clandestine business, he was followed, the secret of the ruby mine was revealed and miners started to flock to Winza.
In December 2007 71 guests were registered with the village secretary. In January 2008 the number had risen to 700 and in May already 5 – 6.000 miners tried their luck.
