Good morning. Today, St. Peter's Church will be holding her final Mass for the late President Magufuli.
This is the last time his motorcade shall turn left off Ali Hassan Mwinyi at Mbuyuni.
Raha ya milele umpe ee Bwana, na mwanga wa milele umuangazie. Apumzike kwa amani.

This being #Tanzania, @TBConlineTZ is talking to the Mufti and members of Masjid Aboubakar Zuberi in Chamwino that the late President helped to build. It is a beautiful structure, especially in the golden morning light.
Thats how we roll.
Waiting for Mass.

So, I was mistaken. The late President Magufuli is in fact being transported from Ikulu in Magogoni down by Ocean Road, one last time over Salendar bridge and a cruise on down past Leader's Club, then turn right into St. Peter's Church.
A lovely drive through a beautiful city.

The late President Magufuli's body has arrived at the Lord's House for a brief service.
St. Peter's is a lovely and very African Church. Please note the joyful murals. It is a historic structure, designed by Almeida.

Personal comment: one of my favorite things about being a Tanzanian Catholicism is how your funeral mass is given with exactly the same chill no matter your social status. The priest's tone is mildly bored and flat, and you just become 'mwenzetu.'
2000 years will do that to ya

Another personal comment: the art of speaking about the deceased at the pulpit during Mass is an art and a skill. Eulogies can go...either way.
They did good. One tiny awkward slip by the family member, but otherwise brief and tasteful.
All in all, a good Mass.

Mass is ended. The late John Pombe Magufuli, President, parishioner, man of faith, is leaving St. Peter's for the last time.

The plan was to get footage of the Msafara at Morocco junction but I didn't make it. Here is a picture of heavy duty consttuction equipment instead.
Farewell, President John Pombe Magufuli. #bulldozer

And so, my watch is ended.
The late John Pombe Magufuli shall be laid to rest in Chato on the 25th of March 2021.
Vaa barakoa. Nawa mikono. Punguza mikusanyiko. Stay well.
Mungu ibariki Tanzania.
Elsie out.
