A protester holds a placard during a picket where about 50 Tanzanians living in Cape Town protested against the recent actions by the Tanzanian government during their presidential election, outside the South African Parliament in Cape Town on November 5, 2025. Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan won the October 29, 2025 poll with 98 percent of the vote, according to the electoral commission, but the opposition has branded the election a "sham". A total internet blackout and transport shutdown, in place since protests broke out on election day, have been partially eased, but verifying information out of the east African country remains difficult.
