They seem to conflate one African nation's head of state with another from an another nation. That seems pretty bad even for MSM.
Oh, the guy they sorta lied about not dying when the article was posted in 2020? He was also a Vaxx/Covid skeptic and he "died suddenly" in 2021 as one of IIRC a group of 5 Black Vaxx resister head of states (one from Haiti IIRC).
A number of social media posts suggest the African leader who claimed coronavirus tests returned positive on samples taken from a goat and from fruit has died from cardiac arrest. The president of Tanzania, who spoke about testing such samples, is not dead.
The posts (examples here , here , here) feature an AFP photograph of President of Burundi Pierre Nkurunziza (here). The text reads: ?You guys ready for this one? Remember the African president who had fruit and a goat tested for Covid and that he was no longer going to allow his citizens to be guinea pigs? He?s dead. Allegedly died of a heart attack just days after he was voted back into office?.
VERDICT
The African leader who said positive coronavirus results came from samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw did not die of cardiac arrest.
