Janeth Magufuli (born in the 1960s) is the 5th First Lady of Tanzania and the wife of Tanzanian President John Magufuli. She is serving as the country's First Lady since November 2015.[1]
Janeth Magufuli originally worked as a primary school teacher for more than twenty years.[2]
Work Life
Janeth Magufuli is a teacher at Mbuyuni Primary School located in Dar es Salaam.
Mbuyuni Primary School may not strike many as special at first sight. Yet the school in Dar es Salaam’s Oyster Bay suburb can now claim a unique place in politics and education in Tanzania. And, no, it has nothing to do with passing grades or wonderful buildings.
Mbuyuni is not like any other school for rather interesting reasons: For a start, two wives of presidential candidates from the ruling party have shared offices and taught at this school. The outgoing First Lady, Salma Kikwete, used to teach at the same Primary school.
By an interesting turn of events, the school has made history by producing two First Ladies in a row, following the victory of Dr. John Magufuli as the fifth President of Tanzania.[3]
