Tension continues to rise in Tanzania following the disputed October 29 presidential election, as angry citizens in Mwanza reportedly raided a gas station owned by a prominent CCM politician.

According to eyewitnesses, the crowd stormed the station in broad daylight, breaking into storage areas and helping themselves to cylinders of cooking gas. Videos circulating online show people laughing and cheering as they filled containers and loaded gas bottles onto motorcycles and carts.

The incident, which unfolded amid ongoing protests over alleged electoral fraud, has become a symbol of growing frustration toward political elites. Many locals claim the raid was not just an act of looting but a “people’s reward” against what they describe as years of oppression and economic hardship.

Authorities have condemned the act as criminal behavior and vowed to restore order, while police patrols have been increased across Mwanza to prevent further unrest.

As the situation intensifies, this moment has sparked mixed reactions across Africa — some calling it a cry for justice, others warning it could push the nation into deeper chaos.

This is hilariously funny.

Meanwhile, this is looting in every sense of it. With this act, nothing makes them better than the corrupt politicians.

Protest against bad governance but do not loot!

Irrespective, this is definitely an act of stealing no matter how you view it.

This is why the Govt should always put the general widespread positive welfare of the people as number 1 else the society will continue to give birth to chaos such as this

No worry na Cameroon Nigeria go play Final of this game 😂

This one deep o, looting the looters

They always resort into looting, always start with food intentions but boom , deviate into something nefarious.

Africa shall be free someday.

That's why politicians don't like letting the public know about their private businesses. If he makes or enforces a law you don't like, you attack his business

The state will definitely pay for it, if not more than what was looted. Thank God there was no fire outbreak.

Like play like play this thing will go round.

It happens everywhere. Even in your America it does. But it happens do not make it right.

So the politician that hoard it did what,anyway if he reach ur turn no forcefully take what belongs to you but one man wants to hoard it for his generation yet unborn set awon Yahaya Bello 😂

Very good. When the people rise these men will realise that they're privileged servants to the people and not the other way round.

This is the type of protest some coneheadrrs want in Nigeria. They are worst criminals, the the politicians they condemn

can we say its their common wealth, if the monies for the station was stolen from coffers?

so far na politician own no problem but if na normal citizen wahala go they

Na wa.

See as people carry cylinder like say na normal.

Africans are gradually getting back to their root, the politicians are nothing to write home about. Using the policies of the white to intimidate, embezzle and frustrate the living hell from their citizens

African politicians will never rule well yet they will still not want to relinquish power and hold free n fair elections. This is the result of that madness.
The people that are supposed to enforce the law are the ones breaking it.
In other parts of the world incumbents lose elections but never in Africa except for a few exceptions like Malawi, Ghana and a few others.
Only on Africa will you have fossils contesting and winning elections because they want to die in power.

e don SET o. dem go collect in TANZANIA ways

And Kenyans are on the boarder pleading to join Tanzanians for the protest in Tanzania.

Looters looted...

This why the Kenyans were interested?

So what is the connection behind vandalism, stealing and election protest?
Peaceful protesters do not steal and destroy.

yarimo:
This is the kind of protest Obidients want, just to steal and burn properties

Ask your lords and personal saviors to rule well. Then no one will be talking about stealing and burning anything.

What a man can do a woman can do it better

It’s now a case of looting vs protest. Let’s hear what the government has to say. If they were able to get results then maybe 🤔 just maybe…………..
🚶‍♂️

Political class keeps pushing citizens whom elected them to the wall and squeezing life out of them through numerous taxes and harsh economic policies instead of soft landings, empathy, grants and favourable economic policies to create a thriving community. A time comes when there is an implosion and revolution, it is always inevitable.
