Will the real Opposition emerge under Magufuli&#;s repressive CCM?

He said “after you cut off a snake&#;s head, it keeps thrashing its tail. You may think it hasn&#;t died, but it has&#;. It appears that he believes the recent announced move of protests bygd the leading opposition party in Tanzania, CHADEMA, are signs of a dying party. He said “where are those parties?
