Tanzanian President John Magufuli has disclosed rare details about his wedding with his wife Janeth Magufuli which took place at Dar Es Salaam University over two decades ago.
The 59-year-old former school teacher revealed that he did not wear a suit and neither did he have a wedding ring by the time he exchanged nuptials with the love of his life.
“Tena siku nafunga ndoa Padri alininunulia pete na akatununulia soda mimi nikanywa Pepsi mwenzangu alikunywa Mirinda,” he said.
A devout Catholic with a corruption-free reputation, the father of five added that: “Tofauti na ndoa mlizo zizoea, mimi sikuvaa koti na wala mke wangu hakuvaa shela lakini tulifunga ndoa.”
Very little is known about Magufuli’s marriage life although it is clear that his wife, Janeth is a teacher at Mbuyuni Primary School located in Dar es Salaam.
