Today, Tanzanians with Albinism live in constant fear for their lives and limb. This pathetic situation commenced sometimes in or around 2007 when some people in the quest of get rich quick circulated rumors that "the albino organs possess mystical powers that can make a person fabulously rich within a short time. To show how serious the problem is, recently buried albino dead bodies are sometimes exhumed at night by unidentified people in search of the 'magical organs'. Since the mining and fishing industries are currently enjoying an unprecedented boom, so the two sectors are attracting people from all walks of life and cultures and this factor has increased the albino risks."
