When Magufuli won the presidency, he swept up the confetti from the celebration himself.

Wow. That alone would give me hope he was a pretty good leader.
I don’t know anything about him other than what I’ve read here.

Oh Crap.
I was counting on John Pombe Magufuli to live at least another six months.
This puts a huge dent in my plans, which were very
much dependent upon John Pombe Magufuli who I had totally
heard of before.
