ABSTRACT
Zeffe is a Tanzanian national who was granted an aid scholarship from a Scandinavian donor country to study geology in Europe. During the course of his studies, he befriended a classmate from Sweden, named Bjorn. Throughout their studies and many group projects, they worked well together. Nonetheless, Bjorn tended to rely quite heavily on Zeffe, who was more senior and had much more actual field experience. Each friend eventually completed their studies and returned home. In accordance with his scholarship contract, Zeffe returned home and joined the State Mining Corporation in Tanzania as a geologist, on a salary of 36,000 Tanzanian shillings. This was during the late 1980s, when 250 shillings were equivalent to US$1. In US dollar terms therefore, Zeffe was earning approximately $144 per annum.
