"You have cattle. You are big farmers. You can feed your children. Why then resort to birth control? This is my opinion, I see no reason to control births in Tanzania.

"Those going for family planning are lazy because they are afraid they will not be able to feed their children," Magufuli is quoted by The Citizen newspaper as saying.

He cited the declining population growth in parts of Europe that has led to a workforce crisis.

Tanzania is currently the most populous east African nation with a population of around 60 million people, up from 10 million at independence in 1961.
