Battle for influence between US and China heats up in Africa 

The battle for influence in Africa between the United States and China is increasingly heating up.
Tanzania, for example, saw trade volumes with China averaging US$9 billion annually and is hoping that figure could double by the end of the decade.
In the meantime, the US is also looking to boost trade and investment in the country, promising half a billion dollars in financing, to help companies export goods and services to Tanzania.
