Uhuru and Magufuli win international award

Magufuli emerged number one

President Uhuru Kenyatta has been awarded the Mandela Peace Prize by Paris-based Mandela Institute.

President Kenyatta was given the democracy prize for demonstrating a true spirit of democracy when he accepted the Supreme Court to annul his August 8 victory.

Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli was awarded the overall winner of the Mandela Peace Prize.

The institute noted Magufuli's work in promoting peace and social harmony in his country, as the main reason they granted him the award.
