CIE's first ever Brilliance in Tanzania awards ceremony will take place at the Kilimanjaro Hotel Kempinski in Dar Es Salaam on 26 September. The prestigious ceremony celebrates the success of talented Tanzanian students in the Cambridge IGCSE, International A / AS Level and O Level June 2008 examinations.
