Eventhough it is not common to see Women lead Countries as President's, they are a number of Women who have managed to become President's of some Countries in the African Continent.
The latest to achieve this is the Vice President of Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan after the death of Tanzania President, Magafuli who died after some short illness.
Under the Tanzania Constitution, the Vice President is supposed to act as President until the tenure of President Magafuli ends.
