Summary
An image circulated on Facebook purporting to show hundreds of Tanzanians lining up for just five jobs at the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). The photo, reportedly AI-generated, gained traction shortly after TRA invited over 100,000 applicants for interviews on March 29–30. Though TRA had announced more than 1,500 openings, the image misrepresented the situation, stoking public anxiety during a period of high unemployment.
