What you need to know:

  • Breaking the record as the first woman to ever become the president of an East African state, President Suluhu has set the bar quite high. 
  • President Suluhu has received praise from influential personalities, including Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania is the true embodiment of the quote made by the former First Lady of the US Eleanor Roosevelt: “A woman is like a tea bag. You may never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water.” 

Since taking over the leadership of Tanzania following the death of President John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, President Suluhu has proven to doubters that she is strong. Breaking the record as the first woman to ever become the president of an East African state, she has set the bar quite high.
