Images of eight-year-young Georgina Magesa sitting (‘posing,’ perhaps?) in the Presidential chair on May 18 this year were widely published in assorted mass media organs.
I am ‘talking’ about the official/ceremonial presidential chair – complete with emblem and the words ‘UHURU NA UMOJA:’ roughly ‘Freedom and Unity’ in ki-Swahili – of the Union President-cum-Head of State-cum-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed and Security Forces of the United Republic of Tanzania.
