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.

The best of WhatsApp: The Coffin Maker
An SDA Church in Nyeri (Kenya) was leaking and the walls were almost collapsing. After the service, the Pastor asked the worshipers if they could organise fundraising next week on Sunday to rebuild the church.
