After CAA3 what else remains than to work for national development in unison with the ruling party. China has become global giant while essentially operating with one political party. Its the perfect case study showing that the Western model of democracy is not a divine order.

Tanzania Hits Power Generation Milestone, Nears 100% Access Tanzania is reportedly close to providing 100% electricity access for its over 70.5 million citizens, having increased its power generation capacity to 4,383 megawatts in 2026 – up from 1,602 megawatts in 2020. The East African country, which has been led by the nationalist Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party since its independence in 1961, has taken bold steps in recent years to boost its economy. Yet it has also recently come under fire from Western and Western-aligned media, following the vi0lent, anti-government protests that rocked the country in October 2025. The protests, staged in response to the landslide victory of Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan, were led by the country’s main opposition party, Chadema – a party with documented links to the Western neoliberal political establishment – and the Tanzanian government’s necessary actions to restore order were framed by all the usual suspects as grave violations of human rights. Yet it is telling to note how closely these protests and their framing by Western media coincide with Tanzania’s strengthening relations with China. In 2022, China revamped its Belt and Road initiative – a win-win international development drive tailored for the Global South – in Tanzania, signing 15 deals with the country, including a $2.2 billion railway deal. In 2024, Tanzania signed a deal with China’s Electronics Communication Industry Service (CECIS) to boost its digital technology sector. China remains Tanzania’s largest trading partner, with total investments valued at roughly US $11.4 billion as of February 2024.

The Spearhead

What a foolish response. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was a giant of the liberation struggle. Thabo Mbeki was a key figure in the ANC in exile, working closely with O.R. Tambo. Max Sisulu and Lindiwe Sisulu were activists in their own right, with their own political records and contributions. Trying to compare that with Jacob Zuma appointing his son Duduzane as Deputy President of the MK Party is absurd. The MK Party is not being run like a democratic political movement; it is being run like a family business, and that is what it is. The party has become a vehicle for Jacob Zuma to pursue personal vendettas, protect his financial interests and fight his perceived enemies. His son has no comparable political credentials and is linked to the Gupta network where he was a director. The Guptas are synonymous with the looting of South Africa’s public resources during the state capture era. To equate Duduzane’s appointment with the achievements and sacrifices of people like Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Thabo Mbeki is not just historically inaccurate and an insult; it is intellectually dishonest. It is an insult to South Africa’s liberation history. What Jacob Zuma is doing is exactly the kind of behaviour that those who oppose democracy point to when they argue that democracy does not work in Africa. They use examples like this to claim that elections simply replace one form of patronage with another. There is a reason why this looks so familiar. In Equatorial Guinea, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo appointed his son, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue who is widely known as Teodorín, as Vice President while he remained President. It became a textbook example of dynastic politics masquerading as democracy. That is what the MK Party is increasingly beginning to resemble. Political parties are supposed to serve the people, not families. Leadership positions should be earned through merit, experience and democratic processes, not inherited through bloodlines. MK supporters are free to defend this decision if they wish, but trying to justify blatant nepotism only weakens their argument. You cannot claim to be fighting for democracy while applauding the concentration of power within one family. That is not democratic renewal. It is dynastic politics dressed up as a political movement.
