5 African presidents who slashed their salaries for the good of their people

John Magufuli

Tanzanian president John Magufuli announced last year that he slashed his monthly salary to $4,000 a month in an effort to tackle state expenditure.

He has similarly cut the salaries of other public officials and civil servants.
