TTCL Connects Amani Residency Zanzibar with Faiba Fibre

In Short

• TTCL says it has connected the Amani Residency housing project in Kizimkazi, Zanzibar, to high-speed internet.
• The service runs through Faiba Mlangoni Kwako, TTCL’s home fibre broadband offering.
• TTCL says the connection is meant to support residents’ work, learning, business, and access to digital services.

What Happened

TTCL announced on August 17, 2026 that it has enabled high-speed internet at Amani Residency in Kizimkazi, in the South Unguja region of Zanzibar. The rollout uses TTCL’s “Faiba Mlangoni Kwako” service.

Fibre broadband is internet delivered through fibre optic cables, which are thin strands of glass that carry data using light. In simple terms, it usually means faster speeds and more stable connections than older copper lines or shared wireless links.

TTCL’s Zanzibar manager, Nasra Mugheiry, said the company has put modern connectivity infrastructure in place so residents can access internet close to where they live. She highlighted everyday use cases like remote work, online learning, digital communications, and access to e-government services.

Amani Residency is being built on 11 acres and is planned to include 82 homes, made up of 18 villas and 64 apartments, plus leisure facilities. TTCL said home internet is expected to raise the project’s value by making it easier for families, students, and small business owners to use online tools from home.

Why It Matters

Housing developments with reliable home internet are becoming part of how cities and tourism hubs compete. For residents, strong connectivity supports video calls, cloud apps, online payments, and digital marketplaces.

For Zanzibar’s digital economy goals, projects like this can increase demand for fixed broadband and push more services online. It also signals that telecom operators are treating “last-mile” home connectivity as a core part of real estate infrastructure, not an optional add-on.
