KRG The Don Urges Peace Ahead of Tanzania Protests

Kenyan dancehall artist KRG The Don has called on Tanzanians to maintain peace and unity ahead of the planned nationwide protests on December 9, 2025. In a video shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, KRG encouraged his Tanzanian fans to exercise their right to protest but stressed that demonstrations should remain peaceful.

Reflecting on Kenya’s own experience with demonstrations, KRG highlighted that past protests sometimes led to property damage and business disruptions. He noted that such incidents set the country back and urged Tanzanians not to allow similar outcomes in their nation.

What advice did KRG give to Tanzanians?

KRG cautioned citizens against being manipulated by activists who “have nothing to lose,” emphasizing that constructive dialogue with leadership is always a better solution. He encouraged protesters to approach demonstrations with love and unity, ensuring that they do not harm the community.

“Nataka kuongea na ndugu zangu, dada zangu kutoka Tanzania. Najua mmepanga maandamano kubwa. It’s your right to picket. Lakini mnaona vile Kenya tuko na amani, biashara zinaendelea. Kuna wakati tuliandamana kwa hizi barabara, na vitu zikaharibika, tulilipia kwa njia moja na nyingine. we are just recovering. Najua kuna watu wanapanga kuharibu mali ya umma, lakini naomba msidanganyike kufanya ivo, nchi kama Kenya na zingine, zitawachekelea. Msikubali kutumiwa na watu kama activists ambao hawana cha kupoteza. Go to the streets and protest peacefully. Baadaye, onge na rais wenu, kuna suluhisho kwa kuongea, kupendana. Mimi nilifurahi sana wakati ule nilikuja mkanikaribisha, adi nikasema nitaanzisha biashara kwenu, na sasa mnataka kuharibu, tafadhali, tupendane, tuandamane kwa amani,” he said.

Why KRG emphasizes peaceful protests

KRG’s message reflects his personal connection to Tanzania, recalling the warm reception he received during past visits and even plans to start businesses there. His advice stresses that protests should not escalate into violence or property destruction. By combining activism with responsibility, KRG encourages Tanzanians to safeguard both their rights and the well-being of their communities.

His words serve as a reminder that demonstrations can be effective without causing harm, setting an example for young people and the broader public in both Kenya and Tanzania.
