What did Dr Magufuli famous is the very same things that caught the Tanzanian population by surprise. In a continent where, in general, corruption and embezzlement of public funds is a way of life for African leaders, Dr Magufuli accurate and rapid tightening has been hailed as very impressive. He has basically done what many people thought impossible by an African leader. Famous columnist, Obbo-Mr Charles Onyango, has branded Dr Magufuli as UnAfrican.
His cost-cutting measures, including the scrapping of independent celebration that is annually held on 9 December, and that the money for the most colorful event to be spent on the expansion of a road between Mwengen and Morocco. He also ordered that the day should be used by all individuals in a clean-up campaign to fight cholera outbreak that during the last three months has claimed 60 people. According to WHO, in October alone, the water carried more than 5000 cases.

It is from these measures as the editor of the Mail & Guardian Africa Charles Onyango-Obbo wrote in his weekly op-ed in the East African newspaper that "Magufuli had proved to be a totally unAfrican leaders. Instead of measuring the new curtains to the State House and order their own expensive convoy, he cut back. "
In Nigeria, the country's business based newspaper Ventures Africa runs a story entitled "Here is how Nigeria can emulate Tanzania" praised Dr. Magufuli to work on his campaign promises. With the help of Dr Magufuli performance, requires magazine now more concrete action from the country's president Muhamadu Buhari who came to power six months ago.

In the story, the author noted that although Dr Magufuli become president only three weeks ago, he did not draw any kind when it comes to government reform and eradicating corruption.
"So what is it that makes John Magufuli so great? Well, unlike so many of his colleagues, he is relentless in his attacks on corruption, laziness and overruns; something that has undoubtedly already made him very unpopular among his own political peers . Let's face it; the man makes almost every other leaders who look like a thief, "reads part of the story.
It is not just African press as "falling in love" with Dr. Magufuli but also African people at large. With cases of corruption are reaching unprecedented levels across the continent with little to curb the threat, which makes people more and more bitter in their leaders, then Magufuli.

There Turnbull boasted to Parliament that it was" not news to anyone "that he is rich, Magufuli is acclaimed the opposite reason: as a government minister he could have made himself incredibly rich but chose not."
