Death does not always give you notice before thrusting its snout into your life. Death can be difficult at times, but it is unavoidable. Every day, we pray to God to keep us safe and guard us from death while we go about our daily lives.
In this post, we’ll look at some of Africa’s greatest presidents who passed away while still in office. It’s frustrating at times, but perhaps that is God’s will for them, or perhaps their time on this planet has come to an end.
Some of the leaders are listed below:

He was only in office for three years and a few months before dying.
2 . Malawi’s President, Bingu Wa Mutharika (Died in 2012).
