Tanzanian
president John Pombe Magufuli has reportedly banned the wearing of miniskirts
in the country saying he believes the garments, along with short dresses,
encourage the spread of HIV/Aids.
Tanzania
Cultural Development Director Herman Mwansoko said all Tanzanian women have
three months within which to "get rid of miniskirts for replacement with
decent garments."
This
is the latest sweeping move from the strict moralist who recently banned
Twerking. Magufuli said the rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities
in a lascivious manner would dilute the much respected African traditional
dances.
Following
his sweeping victory last October, Magufuli has become an international hero
due to cost-cutting measures that he introduced across the country.
Earlier
this month, Magufuli is said to have ordered that all foreigners, including
Kenyans with or without work permits, to relinquish their jobs to the
Tanzanians.
He
also banned issuance of Christmas cards by government officials, saying those
who wished to send them out must use their personal resources.
