  • Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 124 Sept 2019
    Tanzanian Affairs Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 124 Sept 2019 Feathers Ruffled in CCM Plastic Bag Ban TSh 33 trillion annual budget Ben Taylor: FEATHERS RUFFLED IN CCM Two former Secretary Generals of the ruling party, CCM, Abdulrahman Kinana and Yusuf Makamba, stirred up a very public argument at the highest levels of the party in July. They wrote a letter to the Elders’ Council, an advisory body within the party, warning of the dangers that “unfounded allegations” in a tabloid newspaper pose to the party’s “unity, solidarity and tranquillity.” Selection of newspaper covers from July featuring the devloping story cover photo: President Magufuli visits the fish market in Dar-es-Salaam following the plastic bag ban (see page 5) - photo State House Politics 3 This refers to the frequent allegations by publisher, Mr Cyprian Musiba, in his newspapers and on social media, that several senior figures within the party were involved in a plot to undermine the leadership of President John Magufuli. The supposed plotters named by Mr Musiba include Kinana and Makamba, as well as former Foreign Affairs Minister, Bernard Membe, various opposition leaders, government officials and civil society activists. Mr Musiba has styled himself as a “media activist” seeking to “defend the President against a plot to sabotage him.” His publications have consistently backed President Magufuli and ferociously attacked many within the party and outside, on the basis of little or no evidence. Mr Makamba and Mr Kinana, who served as CCM’s secretary generals between 2009 to 2011 and 2012-2018 respectively, called on the party’s elders to intervene.

  • Tanzania Bruce Heilman and William John Introduction United Under The
    COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Tanzania Bruce Heilman and William John1 Introduction United under the leadership of the nationalist Tanganyika National African Union (TANU) party and its visionary founder, Julius Nyerere, Tanganyika peacefully gained independence from Britain on December 9, 1961. However, political independence for the nearby Indian Ocean islands of Zanzibar was turbulent. Zanzibar became independent in December 1963, but was divided by two rival nationalist movements, the African-oriented Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP) and the Arab-oriented Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP). Its first postcolonial government, formed by the ZNP, was quickly overthrown by a violent revolution that transferred state power to the ASP in January 1964. 2 After the revolution the Zanzibar constitution was suspended and Abedi Karume and the Revolutionary Council ruled by decree. In April 1964 Zanzibar merged with Tanganyika to form the United Republic of Tanzania. Despite the union, Zanzibar’s government retained considerable autonomy over its internal affairs and political dissent on the islands was not tolerated with human rights abuses widely reported. It was not until 1980 that a semblance of rule of law returned to Zanzibar with the introduction of single party elections and in 1984 Zanzibar finally enacted a constitution. The revolution on Zanzibar coincided with a rising tide of expectations and uncertainty on the mainland, as the lifting of colonial oppression unleashed numerous societal demands that the new government had limited means to address. Calls for jobs, higher wages, and improved access to education, health care, and water, as well as Africanization of the military, civil service, and the private sector of the economy, led to numerous strikes.
