Published on August 24, 2021, Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu has come under intense scrutiny for her remarks about the country's women footballers.
Speaking at an event with Tanzania's under 23 male team, President Suluhu made comments that have been widely criticized online.
According to reports, she said: "For those who have flat chests, you might think they are men and not women. And if you look at their faces you might wonder… because if you want to marry, you want someone who is attractive, a lady who has the qualities that you want."
Her remarks have sparked widespread outrage, with many accusing her of being insensitive and demeaning towards women.
