Tanzanian president John Magufuli, made an uncommon scene in
the main city, Dar es Salaam -after he dressed casually, wearing gloves and
joining hundreds of people in sweeping streets and picking up dirt
. The newly
elected President did this, this morning after cancelling today's usually
lavish Independence Day celebrations and ordering Tanzanians to clean-up their neighbourhoods.
The scene was replicated across the country, with schools
and shops remaining shut as people swept streets, pruned trees, and tidied up
their areas from the crack of dawn.
According to reports, this is the first time in 54 years
that Tanzania has not held celebrations to mark independence from Britain.
