Get to know Mafia island
A historical narrative from Chole also tells of the oppressed people of Kua where somebody escaped and went and asked for help from the Sakalafa people of Madagascar to come and overthrow the current rulers. Slavery in different forms has existed for a long time on the east African coast, mostly as an extreme form of patron- client relationships. The rise of the plantation industry changed the form of slavery to a harsher form where the slaves were dehumanized and looked upon as
commodities, this was also encouraged by famine which resulted in an increased willingness to sell humans into slavery. Many stories tell of family members selling younger children into slavery to pay for food (Walley 2004). Mafia belonged to Sultan Seyid Said who had his capital on Zanzibar. The main city on Mafia was now moved to Chole, where the town was called Chole Mjini and the main island was known as Chole Shamba (Chole farm or field).

Get to know Mafia island
Mafia has a long history of settlement, it also has a history of various invaders, rulers and slavery. The first records of settlement is of the Shirazi who had their headquarter at Kilwa during the 11th to 13th centuries, or 13th-16th century according to Moon (2004), they had settlements at Ras Kisimani on Mafias most western point. The half washed away Swahili/Islamic town is now an important archeological site and tourism attraction. According to narratives from elders of Chole the descendants from the Shirazi of Ras Kisimani intermarried with the coastal populations and a newer group of Arab immigrants and made up the elite of the inhabitants which left the remnants of Kua ruins on Juani island. The rivalry between the Kua and Kisimani Mafia is a common theme in historical narratives on Chole. Slavery was common in Kua and many statements and narratives on Chole describe the horrid treatments of slaves in those times. The Kua met their downfall in 1817-1818 due to an outbreak of smallpox and from raiders from Madagascar

Get to know Mafia island
Mafia Island is situated about 120 km south of Dar Es Salaam, only 20 km from the mainland in the Rufiji delta. It consists of one large island and several smaller islands, including Jibondo, Chole, Juani, Bwejuu, Mbarakuni, Shungumbili and Nyororo. Mafia Island is a District, as an administrative unit within Tanzania’s Coast Region. It is generally regarded as a somewhat undeveloped district, and is reputed to have been one of the last districts to get a secondary school. To reach the island from mainland Tanzania, one either has to travel aboard a small, wooden sailing boat for about two days from the mainland, or aboard on a small motorized boat for eight hours or fly on one of the daily flights from Dar es Salaam and land on the sandy airstrip adjacent to Kilindoni town. According to the 2002 census 40 801 people lived on the island. The main livelihood activities in Mafia are agriculture, livestock- keeping, fishing, industry and trade. Farming and fishing are seen as complementary activities, carried out by both men and women, though usually with different areas of responsibility. Women would collect octopus and bivalves, whilst men would go out in boats. Cash crops in Mafia include coconuts and cashew nuts, although the price of coconut oil has dropped in the last years, severely affecting the farmers in Mafia who describe these times as hard times . Mafia is the chief source of fish to Dar es Salaam, about 900 tones of various fish sources are fished annually. There is also commercial aquaculture on the island namely prawn hatchery, prawn farming and sea w**d farming. Pearl oyster farming is also being pioneered. The only other main industry on Mafia is tourism.
