The acrobatic duo from Tanzania, the Ramadhani Brothers, returned home today, following their victory two weeks ago at the American Got Talent (AGT) Fantasy League World Champions.
Fadhili Ramadhani and Ibrahim Jobu were warmly welcomed by a delegation from the Ministry of Arts, Sports, and Culture, as well as the National Arts Council (BASATA), at the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in Dar es Salaam.
Upon their arrival, the plane carrying the duo received a water salute, symbolizing honour for their achievements in promoting the country’s name globally.
The two brothers clinched the title after outshining nine other finalists, two of whom were competing on Howie’s team, while the remaining were on the teams of judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, and Heidi Klum, securing the coveted title.
For their remarkable achievement, the duo received a total of 250,000 US dollars (approximately 636.2m/-) in prize money.

‘No Marburg Confirmed In Tanzania’, But Mpox Remains ‘Public Health Emergency’
Monrovia — The Director General of the African Centers for Disease Control, Jean Kaseya, has said the center stands ready to support Tanzania and other countries in the region where suspected cases of the infectious Marburg Virus Disease have been identified. The World Health Organization earlier this week issued an alert warning of a possible outbreak in the country, although the Tanzanian Health Ministry has said tests conducted on available samples did not show the existence of Marburg in the East African nation.
“As of the 15 of January 2025, laboratory results from all suspected individuals were negative for Marburg Virus,” Tanzanian Health Minister Jenista Mhagama said in a statement. This would have marked the country’s second experience with the highly infectious disease that recently killed over a dozen people in neighboring Rwanda. Tanzania previously reported an outbreak of Marburg in 2023 in the Kegara region, said to have been the epicenter of the new suspected cases.
At the Africa CDC online briefing on Thursday, Kaseya also said another infectious disease, Mpox, “remains a public health concern”. He said that while in December 2024, the disease had afflicted 20 countries, a new country – Sierra Leone – has been added to the number after recent outbreak there. Sierra Leonean health authorities said on January 10 that two cases of Mpox had been confirmed in the country and dozens of contacts are being traced.
With thousands of confirmed cases of Mpox across Africa and more than 1000 people having died of the disease – mainly in Central Africa – Kaseya emphasized the need to increase testing, a theme he’s heralded before. The Africa CDC boss said over the next few months the continental health watchdog will deploy additional epidemiologists and community health workers to areas considered hot spots of infectious diseases in the region.
