| President Magufuli |
Tanzanian president John Pombe Magufuli has reportedly banned the
wearing of miniskirts in the country saying he believes the garments, along
with short dresses, encourage the spread of HIV/Aids.
Tanzania Cultural Development Director Herman Mwansoko said all
Tanzanian women have three months within which to "get rid of miniskirts
for replacement with decent garments."
This is the latest sweeping move from the strict moralist who
recently banned...

Twerking. Magufuli said the rhythmic gyrating of the lower
fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner would dilute the much respected
African traditional dances.
Following his sweeping victory last October, Magufuli has become
an international hero due to cost-cutting measures that he introduced across
the country.
Earlier this month, Magufuli is said to have ordered that all
foreigners, including Kenyans with or without work permits, to relinquish their
jobs to the Tanzanians.
He also banned
issuance of Christmas cards by government officials, saying those who wished to
send them out must use their personal resources.
TimelessTinz Opinion:
It looks like some
real practical change directed at real issues is taking place in Tanzania.
Our leaders in Nigeria at every strata of our society should borrow a leaf from this.
