We, writing as members of the Tanzania DMV community in support for "Libe for president 2014" are deeply saddened and upset by the term used "wahunis or street hoodlums by some members of the community to describe our actions in support for the cause against corruption. This term used is offensive and derogatory and just adds fuel to the fire amidst this bitter debate.
Just to set the record straight we would like to inform members of the general public that among many supporters for this fight to eradicate corruption are lawyers, doctors, nurses and social workers with affluent educational backgrounds and job histories. The words used are insulting and target our good integrity and moral character.
Many of us although Tanzanian natives have now become U.S citizens and therefore regard the term used as a personal attack towards both of our cultures. I think many people can now see it is quite obvious what side of the fence the perpetrators are on and by their remarks they are for sure barking up the wrong tree. These remarks will be viewed by many as a contradiction to what we are all trying to accomplish; a peaceful and neutral environment where these disputes can be solved amicably.
We will continue to stand up for our rights by fighting against corruption and support "Libe for president 2014" until justice is served.
