"Tanzania has always sent the message of the most free and politically
stable country in the region through very controlled journalism, making
it even seem to be one of the countries in Africa with the least
corruption. But that as I have said before, is just an image created by
the government’s PR machinery. There is no freedom of speech in
Tanzania, the police are mighty and politicians are semi-gods.
Corruption is a way of life and compromise of human rights is the order
of the day.
However, Tanzania is a haven according to the west. Just before his
retirement, former US president George Bush made a visit to Tanzania and
had long talks with President Kikwete. We all know that the “US does
not engage with human rights violators” and maybe that is why both
President Obama and Bush ironically picked Tanzania as their choice
destination in the region.
A new documentary that has just been published on YouTube seems to tell
the true story of what is happening in the media in Tanzania, exposing
how journalists are humiliated, attacked and even killed for speaking
out and trying to educate the public.
It goes far to show how the press in Tanzania has been reduced to a PR
machine for the government. Here is the documentary by Annastazia Rugaba
that will leave you speechless.
