| When it comes to mishandling the coronavirus pandemic, Tanzanian President John Magufuli could have written the textbook. He's insisted the southeast African nation is free of Covid-19, cautioned against inoculations and discouraged the use of face masks, while advising his people to pray and undergo steam therapy to safeguard their health. Health Minister Dorothy Gwajima has said Tanzania has no plans to import vaccines, and the government's chief chemist is working on alternative natural remedies. Gauging the severity of the pandemic in Tanzania is impossible because the government stopped publishing data in April last year, making it one of a handful of nations that doesn't release the information. Tallies collated by Johns Hopkins University show the nation of about 60 million people has only confirmed about 500 virus cases. That compares to more than 101,000 in neighboring Kenya, which has a smaller population.

Nicknamed "the bulldozer" because of his combative demeanor, Magufuli has had a colorful political career. He won plaudits for tackling corruption and improving the lot of peasant farmers after taking office in 2015, but his image took a battering after the government cracked down on dissenters and the media. While Magufuli easily secured a second five-year term in last year's elections, the opposition denounced the outcome as rigged and western governments said the vote was seriously flawed. His unorthodox response to Covid-19 is likely to further scar his reputation.—Mike Cohen |
