You are capable Mr. Mkapa, but you will forever ever be remembered as a National Traitor for dishing out the mineral rights to mzungus.

Mikutano bila kuandika, uzoefu uko wapi?
Wasikupake mafuta kwa mgongo wa chupa, watanzania ni wanafiki.
M-Bank, Deep Green. Tangold, Meremeta, AnBen, Tan-Power, thieving public property kiaina (ref. KIA, NBC, Simu 2000, the list is endless) is the legacy of yours that will last haunting you, my dear brother.

Mkapa is my hero

 

[Gagurito]

Huyu bwana ni mtendaji, nadhani ndio maana baba wa taifa alimpigia debe sana, kampeni zake za uraisi! viongozi wachafu wa chama chake ndio wamemchafua na kumfunza ufisadi. kwangu Mkapa stil the BEST!
