Niliiona hii video some months ago, she is quite charming and can deliver a good speech -if somewhat condescending, albeit debatable if necessarily or unnecessarily so-

She makes some valid points, and this is why JF, despite all the chaos, is a very important part of the political and development processes in Tanzania.It adds a number of narratives to the equation.Now doubtless you will have the cranks and religious zealots, but here and there every once in a while one finds an original gem - or a transliteration of an original gem- that is worth half the time used to skim over it.
