Dr John Pombe Magufuli was the president of Tanzania. He was widely criticised by commercially-controlled media after questioning the WHO's narrative about COVID-19.[1] In February 2021, The Guardian headlined an article It's time for Africa to rein in Tanzania's anti-vaxxer president. He died in March 2021, reportedly of heart failure. Deutsche Welle reported that "His hands-on war against corruption was admired not just in Tanzania — but the entire continent.".[2]
Contents
Background
Magufuli earned his bachelor of science in education degree majoring in chemistry and mathematics as teaching subjects from The University of Dar es Salaam in 1988. He also earned his masters and PhD (doctorate) degrees in chemistry from the University of Dar es Salaam, in 1994 and 2009, respectively.
Activities
Zero Hedge reported that Magufuli sent the WHO a variety of non-human samples for COVID testing.[1] The samples of a goat, a papaya and a quail to be tested for COVID-19. All 3 were judged to carry the virus.[3]

Magufuli was a "close friend" of Pierre Nkurunziza, who also refused to order a lockdown in response to COVID-19[4] and who also died suddenly, reported of a "heart attack".
Regime change warnings
In August 2020, the powerful D.C. think tank Council on Foreign Relations published a blog post noting that president Magufuli was becoming “increasingly problematic”.
After the 2020 October 28th Tanzanian election, the pressure from Washington DC increased, an indication the US did not achieve its desired outcome. The US State Department[5] soon claimed that “significant election-related fraud and intimidation” and called for an election re-do.[6]
In February 2021, The Guardian carried a story about Magufuli entitled It's time for Africa to rein in Tanzania's anti-vaxxer president.[7] by Vava Tampa. The story was sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Tampa's obituary for Pierre Nkurunziza was subtitled "President of Burundi whose 15-year rule was ultimately marked by violence and repression".
Death
John Magufuli reportedly died of heart failure on March 2021, after being admitted to hospital on 6 March.[2][8]
