Many Congratulations President John Magufuli and his team for achieving heroic and stunning victory. This outcome should be celebrated by all Tanzanians of all parties and no parties, all Africans and everybody around the world who loves equality, justice and fairness.
In this negotiation he has proved himself to be master tactician and brilliant strategist. First for giving them 190 bn tax bill and the same time telling them you can leave if you don't give us fair deal despite threat of court actions and sanctions. He obvious knew they couldn't pay that amount and they had nowhere to go. They capitulated in the end and gave in to most important demands of his government.
I particular like these words from Professor John Thornton "I would like to finish by again both thanking and congratulating President Magufuli, because he has been absolutely instrumental in creating this partnership and allow it to occur. And for my point of view and i see this all over the world, this is single most distinctive business model for twenty first century that exist in the world. The fact that it has been created here in Tanzania it is great great compliment to the country (Tanzania) and its leader".
Hopeful the government will strike similar kind of deal (fair and equitable) with other companies who mines diamond, silver, iron ore, nickel, copper, cobalt, tanzanite,ruby, uranium, gas, oil and other resources in Tanzania.
Congratulations to everybody who was involved and made this happen.
