Magufuli’s Children laying Wreath on Father’s Grave Elicit Sympathy online
The late Tanzanian president John Pombe Magufuli was laid to rest on Friday, March 25, at his rural home in Chato.
A sombre mood engulfed the East African country when the casket of Magufuli was lowered into the grave to mark the end of his 61 years journey on earth.
Tears of sorrow and pain rolled down freely, with the former president’s immediate family bearing the brunt of the loss.
Emotional photos capturing Magufuli’s children laying a wreath of flowers on their late dad’s grave evoked a barrage of sympathies on social media pages.
Dozens of netizens trooped to their pages to encourage the late president’s children, who appeared overwhelmed with pain and anguish.
The family
As earlier reported by TUKO.co.ke, Magufuli sired eight children with his wife Janeth Magufuli, one of whom passed on.
The eight are Suzzan John Magufuli, Edna John Magufuli, Joseph John Magufuli, Jesca John Magufuli, Ruth John Magufuli, Jurgen John Magufuli, Jeremiah John Magufuli and the late Juliana John Magufuli.
All the seven children have led extremely private lives. Unlike their father, they have never shown any interest in politics.
Samia Suluhu’s elevation
Magufuli died on March 17 in a Dar es Salaam hospital after battling heart disease for several weeks.
He became the first Tanzanian president to die while still in office. His deputy, Samia Suluhu, has taken over as the new president for the remainder of the term in line with the Tanzanian constitution.
The late president was serving his second term after being re-elected in November 2020. Suluhu was sworn in on March 19 and promised to follow in the footsteps of her predecessor. She became the first woman to ascend to the presidency in Tanzania and East Africa region.
