Mayor Bynum and Tulsa Delegation Visit Mwanza
From October 20–29, a delegation of Tulsans, including Mayor G. T. Bynum, traveled to Mwanza, Tanzania on a fact-finding visit to explore the potential of establishing Mwanza as Tulsa’s next Sister City. The group met with leaders across government, education, nonprofit organizations, and business to learn more about ongoing initiatives and opportunities for collaboration.
Delegates also visited key cultural and environmental sites, including Serengeti National Park, gaining a deeper understanding of the region’s history, natural heritage, and community priorities.
Following the trip, a committee of Tulsans will work closely with counterparts in Mwanza to begin the formal application and vetting process for Sister City status. This visit marks an important step in building a meaningful connection built on shared learning, cultural exchange, and long-term partnership.
