Written by The Kenya Diaspora Alliance joins Africa and rest of the World in mourning the fallen leader and trailblazer, President John Pombe Magufuli.
We are so much the poorer without him. Our heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives, government and people of the United Republic of Tanzania.
We have lost President Magufuli when Africa’s renaissance was picking steam. You extraordinarily helped restore confidence in our traditions and value systems.
True decolonization begins with faith and belief in self. The current, ravaging pandemic presents Africa with the best opportunityever to invent its solutions, and extend the same tothe rest of the world.
Above all else, you acknowledged and were not ashamed to publicly proclaim the Supreme Power, God Almighty. May He abundantly comfort all the loved ones and orphans you have left behind.
Your fight against one of Africa’s most chronic problems -corruption -was legendary, and so was your selfless, relentless commitment to dutifully serve the people of Tanzania.
We pray and hope that in your honor, other African leaders will take cue and continue with the fight to uphold the dignityand pride of the African, at home and abroad.
