After two weeks of public anxiety, Tanzania’s Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan announced the death of President John Pombe Magufuli on March 17.

In a televised address to the nation, the visibly shaken VP said the president had died about 6.30pm from a heart condition, chronic atrial fibrillation.
