Manzese (Kata ya Manzese, in Swahili) is an administrative ward in Ubungo District of the Dar es Salaam Region in Tanzania. Sinza and Kijitonyama, the latter belonging to Kinondoni MC, border the ward on the north. The ward is bordered to the east by the wards of Tandale, Ndugumbi, and Makurumla. Mabibo is in the south. Ubungo ward is to the west. Manzese was founded as a squatted informal settlement and had a population of 90,000 in 1975. A third of its adults were working full-time.
