Pretoria – The death of former Tanzanian president Benjamin William Mkapa has robbed Africa of one of its outstanding sons who contributed considerably to the quest for peace and stability on the continent, according to former South African president Jacob Zuma.
“The talks were held primarily in Tanzania and we received immense support from president Mkapa and his government. His commitment to finding solutions that would create an Africa free of conflict is also evidenced by the fact that he led peace missions in other parts of East Africa as well, even after retirement.”
