PRESIDENT Jakaya Kikwete is among eight African leaders actively interacting with friends, colleagues and relatives through Twitter. Mr Kikwete joins his peers in Rwanda and Uganda where presidents Paul Kagame and Yoweri Museveni are also interacting on Twitter.
Mr Kikwete who has 39,259 followers behind Mr Kagame’s 85,781 - but ahead of Mr Museveni who has 9,328 followers, is one of the few African presidents who tend to cover government initiative, interesting news stories and odd inspiration quotes.
The president tweets almost entirely in Kiswahili with tweets in English on the very rare occasion, researchers following up the African leaders said. Mr Kagame's verified twitter account is written in English but strangely, the Rwandan president's tweets read like an ordinary citizen for the most part, making use of abbreviations and text speak from time to time.
