Chadema at 33: Growth, grit, the test of survival

Dar es Salaam. Thirty-three years mark an age of maturity. That is the milestone the opposition Chadema has reached since its founding in 1993, a year after Tanzania reintroduced a multiparty political system.

Since its establishment, the party has experienced steady growth, passing through various phases, some that fuelled its rise and others that wounded it, leaving scars that the current leadership continues to heal.
