        Looks like BBC has not much good to say about #Mnangagwa. I'd give him time to put together a plan & execute. Zims seem happy & need a break

        Same monkey, different forest. I remember our Neighbouring countries hyping the presidency of Magufuli just the other day, now Tanzanians are talking about dictatorship, no freedom of speech, assassination claims.. Etc. Leadership in Africa was doomed.

        Maybe the change in Tanzania was too drastic even though at first the intentions may have been right. Most african countries need slow gradual change as they're still developing

        I think each problem needs to be dealt with one step at a time. U can't just wake up and sack everyone from their jobs because they did something wrong. Listening to the people and allow people to express themselves is also important

        Why will BBC tell us in Africa who is good to lead. How many of their so-called leaders haven't molest their peoples in the past?
