When did John Magufuli die?
Magufuli succumbed to heart complications on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. At the time, both the then-president and his wife were ailing and she never had the chance to visit him in the hospital.
In an emotional interview with Ayo TV, the 29-year-old Jessica Magufuli talked about living without their father for four years.
"We didn't expect that our father would leave and as a family we were in so much pain when he died. He was a good father to us and a loving husband. We encouraged each other and my mother was a prayer warrior," she said.

How was life without Magufuli?
According to Jessica, she has learnt to deal with human beings ever since her dear dad died.
"When my dad was alive, we had many friends, but since my father died it is vice-versa. I have learnt to adopt to the situations that we have gone through," she said.
"Our dad taught us how to depend on ourselves and work hard. We have not seen his friends , only a few are remaining. We have discovered true friends and who is for us," she added..

Jessica recalls dad taking photos with everyone
A previous story revealed that right before Magufuli died, there were some signs, but his family didn't know that he was going.
For instance, he used to ask his family members and loved ones to take photos with him so that they could remember him when he was gone.
Additionally, the president, who boasted eight children and 10 grandchildren, used to insist that they visit him at home and whenever they left him alone, he would be angry, saying, what if it was the last time with him?
