Ngaphambi kokhetho lwase-Tanzania ngoLwesithathu, uMengameli uJohn Magufuli usolwa ngokuqola amavoti amaningi, ukusabisa nokubopha abaholi bamaqembu aphikisayo.
Akusizi ngalutho ukuthi uvame ukufaniswa noRobert Mugabe kanye noDonald Trump.
Kodwa umholi ophikisana nomlilo e-Tanzania uTundu Lissu ulwa kanzima.
Usebuyile ekudingisweni – ebalekela umzamo wokuzama ukumbulala – futhi wenza umkhankaso wakhe “wokubuya kwabafileyo” wokulwa noMagufuli.
Iphele ngomhlangano omkhulu e-Dar es Salaam ngoLwesibili.
Iningi labantu likholelwa ekutheni alikho ithuba lokuthi ukhetho lube ngolukhululekile nolunobulungiswa.
Kodwa-ke, uLissu nabalandeli bakhe beqembu leChadema abazimisele ngokuyeka le mpi.
Uxwayisa ngokuthi “uma bezama ukukopela nokuphikisana nentando yabantu, sizobizela abantu ezitaladini. Abantu ngeke bamukele okunye.”
Eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule uLissu wasinda esichothweni sezinhlamvu ze-AK47 endlini yakhe kwadingeka ukuthi ahlinzwe kaningi.
Ubelokhu ewela izwe esuka kolunye uhlangothi eya kolunye ekhuluma emihlanganweni emikhulu.
Umyalezo wakhe womkhankaso ulula: le yireferendamu ibhekiswe kuMagufuli futhi abantu bafuna “inkululeko, ubulungiswa kanye nentuthuko egxile kubantu.”
