[edit] Bagamoyo or Dunda?

I wonder if Bagamoyo really is the official name of this place today? The reason I ask is that there is no shehia (ward) with the name Bagamoyo, and no urban district with this name either. The name for the ward is Dunda, which is a small urban ward that is surrounded by another considerable larger ward (with mixed urban & rural population) named Magomeni. The smallest administrative unit I can find with the name Bagamoyo is the district as a whole. My sources is 2002 Census results, village statistics tables and ILRI, shapefile map of Tanzania wards. So, what is it - Bagamoyo or Dunda?

Another thing: the article says that Bagamoyo is the capital of the district with the same name. However, this source says that the capital of the district is a place named Chalinze. --Pjred 15:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
