Death by a thousand cuts is what the ‘main’ opposition party, CHADEMA, is going through right now.
The steady drip drip of defections...a councilman/ councilwoman here, an MP there, is what eventually will lead to CHADEMA’s waterloo.
A painful demise right in front of our very eyes.
But tell that to the ‘few’ remaining party stalwarts and they’ll make a beeline for your windpipe.
These people are so rabid, so delusional, so deep in denial that it renders it almost impossible to reason with them.
They label anyone who dares to criticize their party or their ‘Dear Leader’ as being on CCM’s payroll.
To them, their ‘Dear Leader’ is above criticism. He is sacrosanct.
Some of us don’t operate like that, though. To us, no one is above criticism and no one is below praise.
If you do good, we’ll praise you. If you eff up, we’ll call you out.
Sad to see CHADEMA end this way.
Once upon a time they carried the hopes of so many Tanzanias, myself included.
