Mwalimu had great visions about the future, he foretold about changes and the value of unity, he once said “wananchi wasipoyapata mabadiliko ndani ya CCM watayatafuta nje ya CCM’’ that if the people don’t find changes they seek for in CCM they will find them outside CCM.Change is inevitable and POLITICIANS are scared of the political awakening of Tanzanians

Politicians think and focus on the next elections but have no love with their people, But a true leader seeks to build a better place for tomorrows generation and that’s how opposition was built and that’s the difference that has made it stronger.

Anyway, recently ‘Chama Cha Mapunduzi’ CCM held a general assembly in Dodoma seeking to nominate an eligible candidate vying for the presidential seat, which saw Hon. Edward Lowassa, the former Prime Minister a majority’s favourite been unfairly cut out from the race. The results that followed have now been termed as MAAMUZI MAGUMU as he chose to publicly denounce CCM ‘CCM SIO BABA YANGU WALA MAMA YANGU’ and moved to Chadema
Is this a sign that the once so powerful party has finally laid its own deathbed? Does lowassa’s move stand as an emblem of change? , can we now stand strong and confidently say that finally the out-dated, corrupt, unaccountable giant is falling to its knees?
Politics is poliTRICKS it’s like a game of polka anytime the cards can change but Tanzanians have spoken, they want change and they want it now, this year’s records show that there have been more number of registered voters than any other year, the Chairman of the Electoral Commission Judge Lubavu said their aim was at registering 24million voter by the end of the process. It means Tanzanians want to decide on their fate.

 What’s the inspiration behind people’s desire to vote in and cast out the hypocrites in the name of politicians?, Change! Change! Change, but why now? I mean years back signs had already shown we cannot trust the people in power, You can never do the same thing over and over and expect different results rights!!!
Life has become tougher, commodities have risen so high over the past ten years compared to any other times, we have more graduates unemployed, where those who failed in schools join the army and police force, those with lower grades become teachers-what are they to teach!!!?, where an organisation hierarchy is dominated by people chosen on family basis – it’s all about Who you know rather than what you know. some few factors that have brought about the rage and and desire for change.
 “The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life .He doesn’t seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour ,of rent ,of medicines ,all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn’t know the imbecile that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinationational corporations” Bertolt Brecht

Let me remind you what WE Tanzanians want, we want Political realism, where hard work pays-where corruption can be fought, where my priority as child of the land is not negotiable-a place we can invest as much as foreigners invest, where taxes do not burden the low income earners while the rich get away by bribing someone who knows someone who can clear their tax debts for a cheaper rate.
We want a country with a constitution that is up-to-date favouring people at all levels, where the Executive is not a threat to media freedom, electoral or judiciary freedom. Development for the majority and never neglecting the minority for their freedom to affiliate with opposition parties.
Dear politician, ‘Tanzania ni Yetu’.Our freedom of expression is not limited to your choice of party and never forget we LIVE AND DIE FOR PEACE AND INTERGRITY OF OUR LAND  but never shall we raise a hand against our own brothers to protect your personal interests.
Tanzania needs a Leader who can stand and protect our interests, a leader who remembers that there is tomorrow-and our strength is towards building a better Tanzania for the future generations. Yes we see far than a few renegades can imagine-I said renegade because if you endorse corruption, unaccountability, personal interests first instead of national interest, you are a renegade. Patriotism before anything else my friends.
Dear Citizens, let me remind you to PLEASE keep your voters registration cards in a safe place. Make sure to cast your vote. Tell a friend to tell a friend change only comes when you dare to take a step and change yourself before changing the whole nation. Change begins with you. Change Begins with your vote. Let’s meet at the polling station on October 25th. FOR CHANGE IS INEVITABLE AND CHANGE IS NOW.
