Nakuru (Kenya): Tanzanian President John Magufuli has passed away. He was 61. Vice President Samia Suluhu said on Wednesday that Magufuli died due to a cardiac arrest. The president had not been seen publicly since late February.
There was speculation on social media that he was running ill but the top government officials denied these things. Magufuli was one of the leading leaders of Africa who rejected the global pandemic of Covid-19. He said last year that Tanzania eradicated the infectious disease through a three-day national prayer.
