Departures with Robert Amsterdam


Aug 18, 2020

Tundu Lissu is not known for backing down from a challenge. 

From his humble roots growing up herding cattle in Central Tanzania to his British education and legal practice, he rose to a senior position in the CHADEMA opposition party. As a vocal critic challenging the alleged human rights abuses of President John Magufuli, in 2017 he survived an attempted assassination  in which he was shot 16 times.

On this podcast, Tundu is interviewed by his international lawyer Robert Amsterdam, and shares his views on what motivated him to go back home and contest for the presidency.
