In a very short span of time, President Magufuli has shown that we as Africans are able to disentangle ourselves from the dependence of foreigners and that we have the ability to manage our own economy and ensure that our people get what is rightful to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, the late President Magufuli was not ready to stomach any nonsense from any quarter that compromised with the rights of Tanzanians and Africa in general, that is why when he was the SADC ( Southern African Development Community) comprising 16 Member States of Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe) Chairman in 20-19 he urge the international community to lift sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>This was a leader who felt pain on seeing a fellow Tanzanian and African being subjected to any form of abuse simply because of status in life. For instance, the way a common man wailed and mourned him in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, you name it, will automatically tell you that he was a man of the people, for the people and by the people. Rest in peace son of Africa!<\/p>\n<p>However, what raises hope was the way his successor, President Samia Suluhu Hassan assured Tanzanians and the continent (read world) during Heads of State last respects paying in Dodoma was: \u201cthe country is in safe hands.
