Pongwe Pogwe

Pongwe Pogwe is a Tanzanian village belonging to the ward of Kang'ata, Handeni District in the northern Region of Tanga.

The local demonym is "Wapongwe" ("Samwepongwe" for men and "Mnamweponge" for women).

In Pongwe Pogwe there is a natural spring water place called Kwekibaya.

If this happens, it is only a Wapongwe family member, in Wagongwe tradition, who can please the natural spring to give out water again.

Because of the importance of Kwekibaya, there is a chain of family leaders among the Wapongwe who guide the community in managing the Kibaya in particular and general resources such as deforestation issues (which forest is a reserved one).
