Tanzania’s President John Magufuli says his ruling party (Chama Cha Mapinduzi) will be “in power forever, for eternity”.

Magufuli’s comments were broadcast on radio on Monday, according to AFP reports.

“The CCM [his Chama Cha Mapinduzi party] is here and will continue to be here – forever,”

“Members of the CCM, you can walk with your heads held high. There is no alternative to the CCM,” he said.

President Magufuli has become known for his tough talking which has faced wide criticisms.

This week the Tanzanian leader said he wants prisoners in his country to live in harsher conditions.

He wants inmates to work “day and night” and be prevented from benefiting from conjugal visits.

“It is a shame for the country to continue to feed prisoners. All the prisons have fields, inmates must cultivate them,” Magufuli said.

He also said “Some prison staff don’t have homes. Make the prisoners work, let them make bricks day and night. If they show laziness, kick them. You have labourers, and for free”.

Magufuli in February also claimed to have the solution to the high level of prostitution among women in his country.

The Tanzanian leader asked men to marry two or more women to reduce the rate of prostitution among Women.

Magufuli told a gathering of men that unmarried women are resorting to adultery due to ‘lack of men to marry.’
