‘COVID-free’ nation’s president vanishes

causing untold misery across the world for the past year, Tanzania has supposedly not had a single case since May 2020.

President John Magufuli, nicknamed “The Bulldozer” for his authoritarian leadership, hasn’t been seen in public for 18 days, sparking rumours that he is seriously ill with COVID-19 – or dead.Countries where virus cases are risingMr Magufuli, 61, last appeared in public on February 27. Sine then, he has missed three Sunday church services, where the devout Catholic would often address the congregation.

Among the theories in circulation is that Mr Magufuli is severely ill in a hospital in Kenya or India, while another suggests he never left Tanzania at all. The Tanzanian government has said very little, other than to threaten those spreading rumours with jail time. Last year, his coronavirus response was to ask citizens to turn to prayer, with the government even setting aside days to do so, as well as using homegrown cures.

“Let us all depend on God as we also take other preventive measures. I put God first and that is why I do not wear a mask,” he said.
