A Tanzanian fisherman, Jackson Majaliwa, who helped rescue 24 passengers when a Precision Air plane crash-landed into Lake Victoria, has been rewarded with a state job.

In a directive issued on Monday, Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu instructed that Jackson Majaliwa be recruited into the country’s Firefighting and Rescue brigade.

The president also directed that the fisherman be awarded a cash prize of 1 million Tanzanian shillings (about Shs1.6 million).

He was injured and rushed to Kagera Referral Hospital with 25 other injured passengers.
