These TZ men are jostling for the position of who can imitate Magufool's daft authoritarianism the best.
Tanzanians are no different from other human beings, and we too find humor as a cathartic release from the ordeals of living through a pandemic. In the midst of confusion and fear, we started tweeting, retweeting, and forwarding a video clip by a local comedian, Masanja Mkadamizija, in which he takes to the streets of our capital and asks passers-by whether they fancy a little Covid-19. Masanja was thereafter ordered to report to the nearest police station by the district commissioner and forced to apologize for “failing to take appropriate actions to educate the people.” The district commissioner, of course, is oblivious to the fact that he is not a court of law, nor can he forgive a citizen for committing an alleged “crime.” But there we have it. This is the face of Tanzanian authority in a time of the coronavirus.
Our week could not possibly end without our dear Paul Makonda, the regional commissioner of Dar es Salaam – the same man who is on the United States’ infamous list of the unwanted (i.e. U.S. sanctions) – having the last say on the matter on COVID-19. In a public address to citizens, he mocked us all for practicing social isolation and staying at home; basically, of indolence. He says he does not understand why we are “waiting around for the virus,” commanding us to “Get out and work.”

During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Joke Remains on Tanzania — Vanguard Africa
As leaders in the rest of the world, including our immediate neighbors, were advocating social distancing, our president was encouraging mass religious congregations as an antidote to the coronavirus. This represented only the beginning of the farce now unfolding in Tanzania.

He can't oppose the incumbent. And CCM will win of course.
