Leaders mourn Jenista Mhagama, nation bids farewell to trailblazing MP

Tanzania's Vice President Emmanuel Nchimbi showed up at former Peramiho MP Jenista Mhagama's place in Dodoma to pay respects after she died at 58. He said the ex-health minister spent years repping her constituency while pushing development across the Ruvuma Region and working with the ruling party.

A requiem mass is happening at a Roman Catholic church in Dodoma, with top government officials attending before the body gets moved to Songea. Another service goes down at Matogoro Parish, then the body heads to Peramiho for a final mass where residents can say goodbye.

The burial wraps up at Ruanda Village in Mbinga District after multiple stops across the region. President Samia Suluhu Hassan joined mourners across the country grieving the longtime lawmaker who served multiple terms.
