Smack town
In the TEW Pre-election report of 2020], on page 25, the authors refer to Chato as a "smack town". In the U.S. this might mean a town devoted to drug use, but I suspect that it has a different meaning in Tanzania. Does anyone know what "smack town" in this context might refer to? The full sentence was: The construction of an international airport in the president’s hometown of Chato, a smack town in the Lake Zone, can be cited as an examples of patronage politics targeting his home region, which has historically been an opposition stronghold. Is it possible that it refers to a fishing smack, and hence the main economic activity in Chato of fishing? --Bejnar (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
