Although he lacks the finesse [or savoir faire, if you will] of some of his predecessors, I believe President Magufuli resonates far better with Joe Public with the exception maybe of Nyerere.
And that is because of his plain-spokenness!
He doesn’t use lofty vocabulary in his speech.
When he speaks people understand him. He tells it like it is. Something I believe a lot of people like.
And he comes across as very sincere. When you listen to him talk you can’t help but think this guy really believes in what he is saying.
So that, coupled with his track record of running a tight ship and cracking the whip, are what I believe to be the reasons why he resonates with the silent majority.
Of course not everyone likes him or his style of leadership. But I believe this group is in the minority. And it is very vocal, too! Hence the vocal minority.
They see his hectoring mannerisms as dictatorial and they want him gone ASAP.
But such is life. We can’t all be in lockstep as far as opinions go.
However, on balance, I think the silent majority are on his side.
What say you??????
