Last September we posted about an overloaded ferry boat running between Zanzibar and Pemba, Tanzania which sank after capsizing taking the lives of at least 230 passengers. Recently the captain and crew of the ill-fated ferry, MV Spice Islander, were charged with negligence and murder. Also charged was member of Zanzibar House of Representatives and MP in the Union Parliament, Mr Jaku Hashim Ayub. The ferry had an approved passenger capacity of 600 and was believed to be carrying at least 800 people (some sources claim as many as 2,470 passengers) and an unknown amount of cargo, when it capsized and sank on September 10, 2011.
