Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu, 61, took office as the country’s first female president on Friday, vowing to follow the path of her predecessor John Pombe Magufuli who was pronounced dead last week, a fortnight after he disappeared from public view.
“I can say without a doubt that we have lost a bold leader who had a vision. He was a patriot who loved his country and the African continent,” President Suluhu said at State House in Dar es Salaam.
