Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan is not only a leader but also a wife and a mother.
Despite being the head of state, she still takes care of her family in a traditional way.
“I still cook for my husband and wash his clothes. I am a President, a wife, and a mother,” she said.
These words show her dedication to both her nation and her family.
Many people believe that powerful women do not have time for their families.
However, President Suluhu proves that leadership does not take away family responsibilities.
She continues to perform her duties as a wife while running the country.
This balance between power and family life is not common among leaders, but she has shown that it is possible.
As the first female president of Tanzania, she has broken many barriers.
She took office in 2021 after the passing of President John Magufuli.
Since then, she has led the country with wisdom and patience. Her leadership style is different from her predecessor’s, as she focuses on dialogue and unity.
Many Tanzanians respect her for bringing peace and stability to the country.
Her statement about cooking and washing clothes has received mixed reactions.
Some people admire her humility and dedication to family values.
Others believe that such responsibilities should not be expected of a leader.
However, her words reflect the culture of many African societies, where women play a key role in family duties.
Despite her busy schedule, President Suluhu makes time for her loved ones.
This sends a strong message to women across Africa and the world.
It shows that being successful in politics or any other field does not mean abandoning family responsibilities.
Women can be leaders and still care for their families if they choose to.
Her words also highlight the importance of humility in leadership.
Many leaders forget their past once they gain power. But for President Suluhu, being a president does not change who she is.
She remains a wife and mother, just as she was before taking office.
