DAR ES SALAAM-(MaraviPost)-Tanzania’s President John Magufuli, was this week accused of making unpalatable remarks that girls who give birth should not be allowed to return to school.

According to the BBC Magufuli was speaking at a public rally in Chilinze town about 100 kilometers west of the main city Dar es Salaam. He ordered that young mothers would be distracted if they were allowed back in school.

The Tanzanian President warned school girls that after getting pregnant, they were alone.

Magufuli even teased young mothers that after calculating some few mathematics, the girls would ask the teacher in the classroom “Let me go out and breastfeed my crying baby.”

The Tanzanian leader also warned men who impregnate the schoolgirls should be imprisoned for 30 years because they should put their energy used to impregnate the girl into farming while in jail. Continue reading Tanzania President Magufuli asked to reverse pregnant schoolgirls ban →
