It is not a common scene
in Tanzania - the president, dressed casually and wearing a hat and gloves,
joining hundreds of people in sweeping streets and picking up rubbish in
the main city, Dar es Salaam.
But
this is just what newly elected President John Magufuli did this morning
after cancelling today's usually lavish Independence Day
celebrations and ordering Tanzanians to clean-up their
neighbourhoods.
