“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light”– Plato
I am sure there goats, pawpaws and others who are feeling guilty right now. Just as today the United States Embassy in the United Republic of Tanzania alleged the state and the hospitals of Dar Es Salaam struggles to cope with the amount of Coronavirus cases.
We know that there are issues as Kenya and Uganda are putting in the numbers of Tanzanian Truck-drivers driving into their Republics. In Kenya, they are not letting the truck-drivers pass into the Republic if they have it. There is Presidential Directive in Uganda to await on the border-points to the results of the tests are done. Before they are allowed to carry-on or not.
Therefore, the neighbour republic’s are acting upon the issues within Tanzania. There haven’t been any reports on the amount of spread, how many who has it or has died of it. There was reports last month of burring the dead at night. So, the President doesn’t want to scare or make any issues. The President just hopes it vanish into thin air.
That’s why Zambia even closed the borders for a while. They did this because of the fear of spread from Tanzania. That is worrying, as the Republic’s around Tanzania see the issue, but the man leading it internally doesn’t see it. His only praying and hoping holy water can save the day. If so, the Madagascar cure can solve it too. Because, what better leave this up to faith and not use our general intelligence, which God has blessed mankind with. A common sense, which clearly is far from common with the man in charge.
He is neglecting meetings with Southern African Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC). We know its serious when today, the Embassy of Ireland closed in Dar because of the COVID-19 spread there. They wouldn’t do that, if they didn’t see the need to do so.
What we are seeing is a man fumbling in the dark without any direction. The President is walking into darkness without a flashlight nor using his light on his cellphone. His just wandering around and not acting upon a crisis. He hopes to gloss over it and that it dies out on its own. If he does it like this, his own will die and he will create havoc. More losses than he could have achieved and also ensured more people could possibly live long healthy lives. Instead, he wanted to be a simp in his home and not act upon it.
President Magufuli thinks living in ignorance is a virtue. He thinks that this is enlightenment and brilliance. This from the same man nicknamed the bulldozer, now his the ghost in the machine and the missing Head of State.
Its like his lost in his office, trying to configure his Nintendo Gameboy from his childhood or something. His secretaries are asking if he plans to do something about it or order PPE. No, he needs to play Mario and Donkey Kong. It’s like he cannot act upon the works of government. The man wasn’t prepared for this or had any training in dealing with a pandemic. He just want to wish it away. Like a little kid wishing upon a star and hoping the wish comes true.
That is the man of Magufuli. He was a coward not letting activists, journalists and opposition act upon their roles in society without getting into legal trouble. He could be rough with them, but a virus. His so weak, fragile and beyond comprehension. That is why he is shell of himself.
Somewhere in the Presidential Palace his playing Gameboy and enjoying Mario hours upon end. Because, this man cannot govern. At least not in the sense of achieving positive results in concern of this COVID-19. Unless, letting lots of people die of mysterious illnesses and not do proper testing. Also, not stopping the spread and ensuring the lives of the citizens. Social distancing and lockdowns are curse-words in the mind of this President.
No, his just into gaming and doing nothing. Which he apparently does best, because he cannot govern. Peace.
