We must NOT make a mistake of forgetting that the progress and successes Tanzania is experiencing in the Railway Industry are due to the revolutionary Leadership of the late President John Pombe Magufuli.
President Magufuli was a visionary who redefined how National projects should be financed; he laid a blueprint for this that many African countries can emulate. Africa doesn’t have to go begging anyone but rather maximize all the resources coming out of its lands.
Every single corporation doing business on the continent must pay or be forced to pay a reasonably just share of the revenue from Africa’s resources, and those stealing from the continent foreign and local must relentlessly be tracked down as he did, until the last penny is extracted from their dubious activities.
Africa according to the UN is losing 100 billion United States dollars every year to illicit financial outflows, money that is taken mainly by foreign corporations with the aid of some of Africa’s ruling class, it is taken out of the continent at the expense of the African People.
Africa currently has an annual infrastructural deficit of 200 United States billion dollars; therefore, this robbery would go a long way to cover Africa’s continental infrastructure projects.
President Magufuli showed that Africa doesn’t always have to be on the side of vulnerability but can take a stand and fight against these international mafia and their local partner cartels on the continent staffed in African governments and the private sector. Kwame Nkrumah was the first to observe these elements working to the impoverishment of the continent in his classical work ‘CLASS STRUGGLE IN AFRICA’.
While we appreciate President Samia Suluhu for continuing on to finish President Magufuli’s projects, we expected much more from her to accelerate the process of meeting the interests of the African people in Tanzania.
REST IN PEACE President John Pombe Magufuli aka The Bulldozer.
