He took to twitter to air his opinion;

"Dear Tanzanians,tell me this is not true."

He accompanied the post with a screengrab of a DW Africa article.

Assistant Director for Secondary Education in the President's Office In Tanzanian Benjamin Oganga explained;

"We have banned the use of Swahili in all our secondary schools. We need to ensure our students understand and are able to use English in accordance with the policies of education."
