It’s barely been a month since Samia Suluhu Hassan took office as the new President of Tanzania, but already the air of change is palpable.
First things first, she’s hit the ground running with a very proactive approach to tackling the country’s coronavirus crisis – in marked contrast to her predecessor John Magafuli, who had taken a more laissez-faire attitude.
