Tanzanian Finance Minister William Mgimwa died yesterday at a South African hospital after a long unspecified illness, the East African nation’s presidency said.
Mgimwa, 63, was appointed in May 2012 in a cabinet reorganization, following a report by the national audit office that showed the misuse of public funds, according to the Dar es Salaam-based, state-run Daily News newspaper. Last year, Mgimwa announced the country plans to secure an international credit rating in the 12 months through June, ahead of a Eurobond sale.
