The President of Tanzania, John Joseph Pombe Magufuli has been captured trying to play ball with the lives of his citizens in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Countries around the world have followed each other’s protocol of locking down public places which include churches, pubs and other recreational centres as a means of combating coronavirus.

The case of Tanzania is quite different as the lord of the land has refused to follow protocols in preventing the spread of the virus due to his belief that the healing of the virus comes from the church.
