Tanzania: Reaction to Samia Suluhu Hassan as new president

Newly inaugurated Samia Suluhu Hassan who served as Tanzanian vice-president under President John Magufuli has declared 21 days of mourning for her predecessor. The late president is to be buried in his hometown of Chato next Thursday.

In Madagascar cases of Covid-19 are said to be on the rise, but the Health Minister has said the country would for now observe how the situation in foreign countries unfolds rather than procure vaccines.

And we hear from Nigerian musician Burna Boy who won the Best Global Music Album award at the 63rd Grammy awards in the United States this week.
