MP Left Homeless After Magufuli Orders Demolition of his Mansion

The Tanzanian government has moved to demolish a mansion belonging to veteran hip-hop hit artist Joseph Haule, popularly known as Professor Jay, that stood on a road reserve, going against a court order. Haule, who belongs to the opposition party that has been critical of President John Magufuli's government, moved to court to block the decision but authorities went ahead and demolished the house.
