More than 40 (!) Dead at funeral Magufuli | Abroad

61-year-old Magufuli’s coffin passed through towns before being buried in the village of Chato. In the city of Dar es Salaam, tens of thousands of people came to the stadium where they could say goodbye to their president.

Things went wrong because people had no patience when entering the building, police said. As a result, 45 people died. 37 others were injured and had to go to hospital. Initially, the police only reported that a woman and her four children had died at the stadium.

The Tanzanian president, who became known as a corona denier, died of a heart condition and was buried last Friday. Magufuli has since been succeeded by his Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan. She is the African country’s first female president.
