10 ex-African presidents and their lives after leaving office

Jakaya Kikwete – Tanzania

The 66-year-old served as president between December 2005 and November 2015 before handing over power to the current president, John Pombe Magufuli.

He has currently taken to farming. In a recent Twitter post, the former Tanzanian leader said he is enjoying quality time with his family, cattle and farm. Kikwete was in 2016 appointed the AU’s (Africa Union) Special Representative to Libya. He recently had a meeting with Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar to talk about the future of the North African country after the violent overthrow of the former leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
