On Wednesday sold Laizer of the Tanzanian government Fund and received 7.7 billion Tanzanian shilling, equivalent to about 2.9 million euros. This is a lot of money in a country where the average income is less than $ 100 a month, even if precious stone experts are of the view, Laizer have not yet received much too little for the two rocks that he himself had dug out of the earth.
