Several world leaders including African heads of state and development partners have commiserated with the Tanzanian people following the death of President John Pombe Magufuli on March 17, in a Dar es Salaam hospital.
Samia Suluhu Hassan, then Vice President, announced Magufuli’s death on Wednesday evening, ending weeks of speculation over the president’s health and whereabouts. Ms Suluhu took oath as president on Friday, becoming the country’s sixth president and first female head of state.
