It was around December of 2005, shortly before President-elect Jakaya Kikwete was sworn in, at one of the many parties that CCM threw to celebrate its resounding defeat of the anaemic opposition.

President Mkapa was up on a podium holding hands with a somewhat stiff Abeid Amani Karume and other CCM top dogs, smiling and singing and dancing.
