Magufuli Led Prayers At Hospital Before Taking His Last Breath

The family spokesperson said that the late Magufuli received the ‘anointing of the sick’ sacrament and dua in the presence of former Dar es Salaam Archbishop, Polycarp Cardinal Pengo, St. Peter’s Church Parish Priest Father Alister Makubi, and Tanzania’s Chief Sheikh, Abubakar Zubeir.

Many knew Magufuli for his close ties in the religious circle. He often attended Sunday prayers at St. Peter’s Catholic Church whenever he was in Dar es Salaam; this is the same church where they took his body one last time for a requiem mass.

The late former president was equally close with the Muslim community.

He helped mobilize funds for the construction of mosques and also holding dialogue with Muslim and Christian leaders.

John Magufuli is one very strange president, since becoming president in 2015, the late Tanzanian leader had apparently never set foot outside Africa since his election as president.

The late leader was not like any other African president. He never fell in the category of African leaders who make expensive trips abroad.
