DEFINITION OF A TRUE LEADER

Many people believed President Magufuli was the truly best leader Tanzania ever had. Even if others think he was the worst president Tanzania ever had. To them, they believed that he was crushing human rights and even intimidating those who speak against him. I can't even be against them on how they think or believe. But I believe he was a good leader. True leaders are in the service of their people. True leaders act with integrity and in doing so they establish trust. True leaders genuinely value their people and in doing so they create loyalty. True leaders are in the business of assisting people to realise their full potential and in doing so they inspire excellence.

All Tanzanians we will remember him. He was a true game-changer. A revolution leader. An anti-corruption crusader. A COVID-19 denier.

A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we may see ourselves anew. President Magufuli was a leader who wanted people to work and stand for their own. And he believed that the country can stand for its own without any help from other people from outside the country. He believed Tanzania is a rich country and also, believed that we have all resources that can help us to sustain our economy. His leadership was unique in style.
