The Tanzanian authorities have threatened to take legal action against an independent research organisation days after it released a survey that claimed to show President John Magufuli’s popularity had declined.

The researchers from Twaweza found that President Magufuli’s approval ratings had plummeted by 41% since coming to power two years ago.
