Tanzanians President, Samia Suluhu Hassan, who was sworn in Friday to become the country’s first female president, on Saturday led mourners in paying their last respects to her predecessor John Magufuli, who died suddenly this week after an illness.
Hassan led a government procession filing past the coffin, which was draped in the Tanzanian flag, and offered her condolences to Magufuli’s wife.
Mourners lined the streets of Dar es Salaam to bid farewell to the late president, weeping and throwing flower petals as the casket was transferred by motorcade from a church to Uhuru Stadium where it lies in state.
May his soul rest in peace.
