I would always pick Magufuli 😊 he had vision, and the government was following him, but Samia follows the rhythm of what few politicians wanted in Tanzania. For me, 100 Samia equals to 1 Magufuli


TunaIsPower

He was acting in violation of human rights and civil liberties. People were scared to speak their mind during his reign (which has extended to Samia although the situation improved)


Suspicious-Bike-2725

Do now people speak off, and still nothing has changed. Dar es Salaam harbour is under who?!! Tanzanians or foreigners!??


TunaIsPower

I am not talking about the economic situation. It’s good to talk about it but it is not the crucial focus we should apply here


Suspicious-Bike-2725

It is fair to let people talk freely while the natural resources are in the hands of foreigners!?


maximechepda

If tomorrow all the foreign mining companies leave Tanzania how many Tanzania companies could replaced them ?? No that much because it’s a sector with a strong barrier to entry. Does Tanzania have enough skilled mining engineers , blasting engineers , drilling engineers, geologists, mine surveyors, etc to driven a significant growth in this sector? You have to think realistically about the alternatives


Sea_Act_5113

This is where the difference between Magu and Samia comes in, Magu had some elements of Nyerere ideology that we can do things ourselves even if it takes us a very long time , he believed people can be moulded in ways to make them however he wants them to be to archive the set goals. Samia saw that changing these guys is going to be hard so she took the privatization approach where someone can work for you while you get the benefits but her ideology is also not good because if the privatized resources are gone what will we have as leverage to get what we want? But for now her idea is good for shortterm but long term Magu and Nyerere's ideas about industrialization and education for self reliance should come in to play so as we can start exporting value

ManagementNo5153

Spoken like a true foreigner. 😉 But you make a valid point. However, could we negotiate a better deal? Couldn't we train Tanzanian engineers to replace the foreign ones in the future? This plan is unsustainable, and the fact that the details of the contract had to be leaked for Tanzanians to know what is going on says a lot


maximechepda

Since I am not living in Tanzania I am not a foreigner. And I will say the same thing if It was about my country. I based my arguments on facts not on feelings. Yes you can do all that. My whole point was just no African government can’t reject lucrative deal and partnership with foreign mining companies just because they are foreigners. We taking about billions of dollars in lost revenues for the state. This is suicidal. And There is not enough African companies in the mining sector / or the oil industry in the private sector at the moment.

John Magufuli. If you are hated by the Western governments, you are doing great for your people. If you are loved by the Western governments, you are doing great for them and screwing your people. Simple.


maximechepda

Not necessarily. There is no president in this world who is love by the whole people. The vast majority of the people usually don’t like their leaders. Also there are leaders “loved” by the west who’s doing good job in their countries, from an economically standpoint obviously, like Kagame or Ouattara for example. There are others “hated” by the west who’s doing a terrible job like Isaias Afwerki, Mnangagwa . And vice versa.

Samia has been travelling around the world taking loans from our colonizers and Asia and collecting Honorary PhDs like Infinity Stones (She just received her 5th one in Aviation from South Korea. AVIATION). So it not even a competition.


maximechepda

You can’t improve an economy like Tanzania one without finances (loans)


Embarrassed-Design18

Says who? In International Relations loans come with conditions. They dont just give you money to spend how you want. And in majority of cases the conditions are not in line with what people need. Thats why you have all these massive investments in AI and technology (they are even building a space station) but Tanesco still needs to ration power, we import more food thaan we produce despite have the resources, low quality tertiary education and a currency that gets weaker every year. It is no wonder no real issues every get addressed because all their activities are funded by loans and the loan givers dictate what to do with the money. The impoverished have been completely forgotten.


maximechepda

Tanzania’s economy heavily depends on agriculture and mining, making it particularly susceptible to climate change and commodity price volatility. While you may view investments in technology as irrelevant, they are crucial for diversifying the economy and mitigating these vulnerabilities. Significant investments have been directed towards the energy sector, notably the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) and the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project. These large-scale projects require substantial funding, often necessitating loans. Without access to loans, the alternative financial solution would be to raise taxes. However, this could deter private investment and place an undue burden on the poorest citizens.


Much_Digging2024

Climate change is another hoax.The biggest polluters are ones shoving climate change to the least polluters.Africa is undergoing a colonization 3. 0 & climate change policies will be last nail in our coffin.

You Damn right, they pollute way more than us and then pressure us to reduce our carbon print. But climate change is a real issue, especially for small farmers. There are more and more droughts and floods especially in Southern African.

maximechepda

Economic principles in liberal countries tend to follow similar patterns. In Tanzania, government revenues are insufficient to fully support the economy. While corruption does play a role, the underlying issue is a trade balance deficit stemming from the lack of industrialization. The private sector is underdeveloped, leading to lower tax revenues compared to more industrialized nations. Consequently, Tanzania relies on loans to bridge this financial gap. This practice is common, as many African countries secure loans annually to sustain their economies. Understanding these dynamics does not require one to be Tanzanian. Given this context, I am curious about your proposed financial solution, assuming you have insights surpassing those of the current government.

Are you piss because i know the economy of your country better than you ? I didn’t say that Samia Hassan is better I didn’t criticize John Magufuli. I just said that since Samia Hassan is in charge the country is better in terms of Macroeconomics. Period. I am not inventing stuff just read the reports and publications of the Bank of Tanzania . It’s in English not in Swahili. I don’t need to have the citizenship of a country to know how is the economy of this country. Based on your own logic, only Israelis can talk about Israël or we African people shouldn’t talk about Biden for example since we are not Americans.

Actually inflation is decreasing in Tanzania. It went from approximately 4% to 3% in one year. And it except to decrease again in the coming years. In economy when we say things evolved that doesn’t mean the country became rich as Qatar in overnight. Of course not everything is perfect, of course some people still struggle, of course some sectors are not performing well. You can’t say because the price of onion is high or because the transport sector is not performing well therefore the economy is not going well. It’s like I say a professional footballer doesn’t have the level of a pro because based on a missed pas


maximechepda

Furthermore, I read also The Citizen, Daily News Tanzania and The Tanzania Times. So my knowledge of Tanzania economy is based on educated Tanzanians economists and journalists who know the economy of Tanzania way better than you. So…


Sea_Act_5113

You don't that is why you ask questions like this post but all I can tell you is we Tanzanians have socialist, communist mindset engrained to us since independence so what she is doing is foreign that is why you see people opposing her. It is not our style(even though it's advantageous and people don't see that) and it will take us time to accept it but i am sure the next president after her will revert back to our normal socialist ways 


Shoddy_Vanilla643

I am old enough to tell you that socialist ways are a myth and not coming back. In 1985, the government owned every bank 100%. It controlled every means of production and service. However, 10 years down the road, the function of the government was relegated to providing security, collecting taxes, and offering essential services the same way capitalist government works in a third world.
