Dar es Salaam. In every human society, the birth of a child is a matter of joy and cause for celebration. That is what happened on Thursday, October 29, 1959 in Katona District, Bugando Ward, Nzela Division, Geita District, when John ‘Walwa’ Joseph Magufuli was born.
Among those who witnessed his birth, no one could have ever imaged that 56 years later, this son of a peasant would become President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Commander-in-Chief of the Defence and Security Forces.
