1) Enjoy the moment. Today you have life, tomorrow it may be no more. 2) What you value, is not usually valued by other people. So, don’t do things to show off, but to make you and your loved ones happy. 3) Never sell your soul to chase worldly riches. You can only drive one car or sleep in one bed. If you can extend a helping hand, do it now. 4) There is nothing better than family and friends.

What is happening? the familiar faces…

The best of WhatsApp President John Pombe Magufuli
When rumours started going around about the health and whereabouts of my friend President John Pombe Magufuli, I placed several calls to him. Later, I sent him a text message. Both went unanswered. I then resigned to expect the worst while hoping I was wrong. When his death was confirmed as I was self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19, I felt the full weight of double tragedy and emotions dealt by the cruel hand of fate. It was the worst time to lose a friend and a comrade. It was a bond forged over war on corruption and quality infrastructure.…
