The United Kingdom foreign office, has warned its citizens to keep away from large crowds in Tanzania tomorrow April 25, ahead of a rumoured anti-government demonstration.

The statement reads in part:

"You should take care, be aware of your surroundings and avoid large crowds or public demonstrations. Make sure you have a means of communication with you at all times and monitor local media for updates."

Tanzania has been gripped by talk of a mass protest against President Joseph Magufuli for weeks.

The Police have however cautioned that they will respond with force to any demonstration.

The organiser of the event is popular online activist Mange Kimambi.

She has two million followers on Instagram, and over the past year-and-a-half has used her profile on the social media, to promote President John Magufuli back when he was a presidential hopeful, and subsequently to call for "the mother of all anti-Magufuli protests".
