Magufuli's presidency

Julius Magufuli was the President of Tanzania from 2015 until his death in 2021. Known as "The Bulldozer," he prioritized anti-corruption measures, infrastructure development, and government efficiency. His leadership focused on strengthening the economy and reducing government wastage, often through strict policies. While he was popular for tackling corruption and promoting self-reliance, his tenure also faced criticism for limiting political freedoms and suppressing dissent. Magufuli’s presidency significantly shaped Tanzania's national agenda, balancing efforts to improve public services with controversial methods of governance.
