Magufuli’s life was characterised by discipline, and a good attitude towards God,  and encouraging people to believe.

During his presidency, he showed kindness to the poor, and gave good treatment to his citizens.

He tried to find a way to do what God’s word said.

During the Covid-19 pandemic in Africa, Dr Magufuli took an approach of prayer, and believing.

JP Magufuli, spoke words that encourage us that God will always be there.

“God begins with us, he will end with us” he said.

He did everything with kindness and humbleness. With its citizens, the poor the rich, he helped a lot. This is an important memorial for Tanzanians to never forget him.
