- Brave, strong and with a zeal to help liberate other African countries that were still under the rule of the colonialists, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere the founding father of Tanzania stood as a great leader who chose the path less travelled by many.
He challenged tyrannical leaders like Idi Amin and fought tirelessly for what he believed in, socialism.
I was honored to visit his home in Butiama, sat at the chair he used to sit at his living room, and walked across his surroundings he used to walk, visited his grave, a beautiful one if that is even appropriate, visited a museum where you can see a lot of his personal belongs, super exciting to experience. He never accumulated any wealth, Nyerere died a very poor man if you compare him with his fellow freedom fighters, even his children were never privileged, they had to work to make a living . I am Christian so I don't allow my heart to worship him, that's would be a sin, but Nyerere is truly a son of Africa everyone should be proud of. Soon after he attained independence here in Tanzania he gave his all to ensure every African soil is set free. Even when life became hard he never gave up for his fellow Africans.He used to say Tanzania is not free if our fellow brothers are not free. Many countries had free access to Tanzania, a place where they can mobilize themselves when they could no longer do that in their own lands. His speeches are enough to wake you up and turn you back to humanity. He is well known as mwalimu Nyerere as he was comfortable being referred to as a teacher rather than president or former president. To let you know who this person was, the Catholic church is considering to naming him a saint , such a rare occasion for a political leader. The ultimate role model for anyone, if you want to become a better person, try to learn about this man. Nyerere made sure people lived close together for easy access to social services, pupils could walk short distances to school, my school was just 5 minutes away in my village in the 90s, a result of his smart thinking. Things were well set indeed, I remember seeing land use and plans in my village where every place was planned, a process somehow helped conserve a lot of land as of today despite a lot of destruction of the plans from our new leaders. A country with over 120 tribes, and lots of people of Asian origin, Tanzanians have managed to integrate themselves such that nobody think about another person tribe in their daily chaos, we are Tanzanians nothing more nothing less, one can own a land anywhere they want, work anywhere they get the job opportunities, and more importantly, intermarriage is extremely common, only that children will identify themselves based on their fathers side. At this point a tribe is an identity that has got no impact in someone life. This documentary is just a fraction of how amazing this man was. I would love to see his full documentary at least a movie about him. I was in form 1 secondary education when it was announced about his death, teachers had to help students calm down , even if we knew he was sick for sometime but I guess nobody was ready to imagine he would one day die, the country went silent, unsure if the country could survive without his presence, mind you we had a new president years before his death. At the end, we thank God for gifting us Nyerere to our land, that itself is more than enough.
i am Angolan. and today am so thrilled to learn that my Grand father from my father´s side was named after this wonderfull man. am trully inlove with his live. i could see by the photos that he was a really gentle and kind man. i love his smile. it transmits alot of light and live. He really was mindfull for the people. am in love
I love your smile....
How do we DM on youtube?lol
Nyerere did a lot to African nations in general and must be recognized as The Father of Africa
@@kagisonkabini2021 she ain't even smiling in her pic you thirsty simp...
Nyerere also helped Angola 🇦🇴 to gain independence.
For sure Mwalimu Nyerere was a mirror for African and all over the world. It was a person who was free to say anything with no fear through his believes. The world will remember him forever.
Julius Nyerere is one of the three most respected African Leaders ever. Him first and foremost before anyone. Forever my champion! Only if all political leaders were like him, Africa would be a highly developed continent by now. He is followed by Thomas Sankara.
Compare to the thieves we've had in Kenya. Kenyatta/Moi Families are billionaires, but Nyerere's good name will prevail.
Founding fathers of tribalism, corruption and greed. I'm happy many kenyans now know them for what they were
Absolutely. The problem with our people today and the reason why there is continuous war between tribal lines is because we've blinded eyes to our past and we don't read the history of Africa. As much as we want good leadership, we cannot build a house in a weak foundation. Nevertheless, this chronic depression of our man syndrome and the imbecile of majority in our land will still punish us more and more. If only we all had one voice, put a side our poverty, put a side tribalism, put a side favoritism and think of our nation and our future together, I promise you that you can achieve eternity to our surprise. I remember Mheshimiwa Koigi warning us that, without success for struggle we will never get out of TROUBLE. If only my people can understand what their votes means and NOT the handouts from their politicians, that would be the end of poverty in our land. For sure if you stand for nothing, you will always fall for anything, Mwalimu Nyerere stood for UJAMAA and till today they buried and cemented tribalism and embrace socialism. RIP Mwalimu
He also stole land and buildings from Asians, brought misery to education with his socialism policy from China. There was a time you couldn't even get food you had to queue for basic things like bread sugar milk. Horrible person.
@@absyibrahim5571 Indians should go back to india and Pakistan. I hate Indians they are very exploitative
@@absyibrahim5571 go home. afrika is not for greedy people
Self-reliance is the best policy for survival. Julius Nyerere was indeed one of the best leaders in Africa.

kwa kweli inapendeza sana
Abdiassis Ahmed You think so but you used to be called msomali even if you were born in Tanzania that's the truth there was akind of racism after independence
You have no idea how wrong you are
Abdisalam Yussuf But nobody hates u
One of the greatest men I have ever known in History, He is always in my heart, I was never blessed enough to meet with him in person but He has touched my life in so many ways, so so so many ways, I can surely say the way I am today is just beacause of his philosophy
Am from Zambia but proudly Tanzanian, I will forever be grateful for our forefathers
Time really passed 🇹🇿 Most African kids these days don't know what is TANZANIA to Africa,Thanks
When great men die, the people cry....I pray his legacy will continue across the length and breadth of not just Tanzania but Africa!
NAKUPENDA NA TUNAKUKUMBUKA MWALIMU... NA NINAKIPENDA KISWAHILI LUGHA ULIYOIPENDA BABA. R.I.P HAYATI MWL JULIUS KAMBARAGE NYERERE. OUR FATHER OF NATION [TANGANYIKA]
Thank you Mwalimu. The unity you built in Tanzanian and unify us all as one big Swahili speakers is of no words. We see your wisdom as we cherish peace and stability in the country. All tribes to become one, is not an easy to understand but it is what we are in Tanzania. Thank you a million.
Tai chi music
Tai chi practice music
Mmboji Thabit WOW! I’ve never thought of that. Many tribes under one language.
Not only must we cherish our unity but we must defend it from our enemies within.
''can do better, could do better and don't be too critical to yourself to a point of despair....despair is unforgivable sin......wise words from Mwalimu
This man is one of the most profound thinkers Africa has produced. The Ujama village concept was an ideal community business initiative. In the Bahamas we needed this kind of vision
@Mwaniki Mwaniki It failed to do what? Did any Tanzanian die of hunger due to its purported failure? True! Nyerrere failed for not pursuing the culture of greed and making it the national religion as in neighboring Kenya. On the contrary in Kenya, we are always fond of disparaging Tanzania and yet to this day we still cannot feed ourselves. When our people starve to death we blame it all on rain!
Tanzania sent tons of food and medicine recently in its relief effort to help the victims of cyclone in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. What relief did the capitalist (higher GDP) Kenya send to the cyclone hit countries?
The movement was killed by the west.... at least we get free education from that till now
these were pure leaders... i'll not die until i visits Nyerere's resting place.
When I hear the voice of Mwl Julias kambarage Nyerere it's make me love my country and always work hard 💞❤💞 rest in peace our Father
This is our TANZANIAN HERO ever
🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
AFRICAN HERO
@@emmanuelkimutai4752 YES !!
the man leading African hearts, the unity of African nations in one destiny was really Mwalimu Nyerere and hid deep leadership is still today a good example to talented head of states, so God bless the man
These are leaders who fought for a good name through great and selfless service to their people.They will be remembered forever.
RIP Julius , one of the best friends to the Tito , your friends from Yugoslavia , great vision and way ahead of his time !
What a humble man. He & DR Kenneth Kaunda David Banda of Zambia have contributed so much towards the Freedom that our country is enjoying today.
Lots of love from South Africa
He was truly a great African and Tanzanian leader may his soul continue rest in peace
I really need to learn more about Mwalimu, Kwame kuruma and Lumumba . just hope one day I will be like them.
Those two guys had a vision for the whole Africa... Too bad there are more sellouts than stand up guys like those two
Why God "good" people do not live long? Indeed, this man was of his kind ever seen on this earth. May God bless Nyerere, Tanzania, Africa and the world that God made. I truly love this man.
Kenyans and Tanzanians disagree on everything but this guy. We both recognize him as one of the greatest leader ever in Africa.
Mwalimu J.Nyerere will forever stand tall amongst his peers due to his unmatched and indelible integrity, brilliance, ideas, vision, passion for what he believed in, and performance during his tenure! Rest in peace our role model!
Naipenda Tanzania yangu mno Asante baba wataifa Asante Nyerere upumzike kwa amani tunayaenzi uliyotuachia
One of his greatest achievement was uniting Tanzanians using Swahili Language hence eradicating tribalism which was and still is a challenge in many African countries
thats my president .I also like the president of bukina faso thomas sankara
I LOVE Thomas Sankara too! He was not willing to compromise his vision for his people even under French intimidation tactics. The mistake many of our other leaders made was trying to “reconcile” and play nice with the colonisers. At independence, they should have told them never to interfere in our affairs, give back our land and resources and comply with the “African way” or exit. They should have gathered our best African minds, developed an “African way” of achieving successful (from education, social empowerment to business, development and progress, public services, foreign affairs, etc) then implemented that “African way” strategy meticulously until we achieved all our objectives, autonomously.
Do not also forget Patrice Lumumba of Congo.
I concur two of our greatest. I can relate more with Mwalimu as an ordinary African, and can look up to Sankara as a “hero” type.
I love sankara so much
I have read somewhere when Sankara was invaded at the palace, he said to his captors, don’t hurt my employees and my people, it’s me who you want 😢.
Most people would focus on the negatives, and claim Mwl. Nyerere with socialism failed economically wise. But he laid the peaceful moral foundations in Tanzania which led to unity of different ethnic communities in Tanzania, eradicated tribalism, religious clashes. In some communities in a country like Kenya your ethnic background seems like a priority, one would have to know whether we come from the same tribe or not. I'm Tanzanian who also lives Nairobi, Kenya. Hence I've seen the differences our nations share. Yes Kenya's economy has always been dominant compared not to just Tanzania but any other nation in East Africa. But in the end the unity Mwl. J.K.Nyerere established, has been relevant in maintaining the peace in Tanzania which exists till date. Give credit where its due, its one thing being dominant economically under socialist mechanism (in mid 60's-80's in Tanzania) and its a whole different scenario establishing unity in a country with different ethnic groups. Not so many leaders have successfully united people, most of them divide them.
True.. he achieved what money cannot buy
@Ali Ali YOUR HEAD IS FULL OF SHIT, YOUR PROBABLY FROM THAT MAN EAT MAN SOCIETY.
I agree with u, am a Kenyan. Wish Kenyan tribes united
Whats the point of kenya's system when we are literally starving. Those gleaming buildings and stats from kenya are only for a select few.
Can be better put....
If you would take sometime to understand this man's philosophy,you would truly fall in love with him..
Woaw, good Teacher and one of the best presidents in Africa.
Are you going to ignore the fact that he died in a London hospital😡😡😡😡. After 3decades in power.
ENDLESS MWALIMU! FATHER OF OUR NATION, PROUDLY TO BE AFRICAN AND TANZANIAN!
Sawa kabisa unavyosema godfrey
"without unity there is no future for Africa"
No nation has the right to make decisions for another nation. === Mwalimu Julius Nyerere ===
Much love from senegal. I picture you in heaven chilling with Sankara. Why westerners don't talk about him or make movies about him like they do Idi?
Because the goal is to make Africa look bad, they don't have time for good leaders they want bad ones so that they can act as saviours!
Why should the West do a film about an African leader? why can't Africans do it themselves, the truth is the Western world is not interested in the people of Africa they are only interested in our resource for the betterment of their country and people unfortunately most of our leaders in Africa today are not interested in their people ,they are only interested in enriching themselves and their families
🖤💚💛 one love Respect from Jamaica.Sending love from Jamaica, where there is respect unity, compassion and kindness then we have truly met.I'M Jamaica's poet Bill M Burton These are the colors of Marcus Mosiah Garvey ⬛🟩🟥
He (GOD) doesn't make people like him.. The father of our nation and the whole continent of Africa. I went to school with one of his sons JOHN NYERERE at St. Francis Xvier in Tabora. In my generations there was no racism in Tanzania. I don't know by now I left 32 years ago. Intermarriage was common, my family has blacks, arabs, indians and whites. He considered all races as children of the nation that's why Tanzania is one of the most peaceful countries in Africa may be the world and thats why we have no blood on our flag. We don't have tribal clashes compared to most of African and Arab countries. Nyerere was a Black Christian who always wore a Zanzibarian Muslim hat, enjoying Indian food, listening classic Beethoven music and a White female American best friend Sister Jean Pruitt. He helped liberating the southern African countries from colonialism by giving refuge and full support to freedom fighters from different countries such as South Africa, Namibia, Rhodesia(Zimbabwe) Botswana, Mozambique, Angola even Palestine. He promoted Art that's why I'm a good artist!!
Education for all that's why illiterate was so low even Masai, Makonde and old people learnt how to read and write through his Adult Education System he introduced in the 70's. My late mother (RIP) learnt how to read and write through this program.
Rest in Peace MWALIMU JULIUS KAMBARAGE NYERERE
Shahar.. brother.. you are a forward looking man.. and I love you for that.. People who blame Mwalimu are DEAD souls who cant see the future that Mwalimu built a foundation for.. one doesn't see in Tanzania, what happens in many places in Africa in terms of tribalism and wars that emanate from it.. what we have to do now is be more transparent in government and honest to ourselves and create opportunities for our people the same way a nation strives in war .. in this case against poverty, illiteracy and diseases as Mwalimu encouraged us; for progress.. we need to be more aggressive and more..! We are so luck to have had Mwalimu.. Love you bro.
Shahar Ahmed, your personal experience and input to this story though very short but very informative and valuable. Personally, as someone who love to acquire knowledge about Africa and the rest of the world, I thank you and I say God bless.
Shahar Ahmed "there was no racism in Tanzania"?? I don't buy that, maybe you were too young to figure it out, there definitely were Economic gap based on race, oh you aren't black, that makes sense, if we bring a black person from that same time they'll tell us about what they went through based on race, Africans are discriminated in EVERY other part of the World, so our Continent, Africa is ours, it is meant for Africans, Blacks.
Ahiale Darlington Either you are not Tanzanian, or born 2000's. Back in the 1960's to 1990's there were no any kind of racism in Tanzania,
+Ahiale Darlington you didn't read his comments well he said
He does not have to be Catholic saint! He is already a saint not just for Tanzania but throughout the African diaspora!
Africa have the King of kings and the Lord Lords and recieved H.I.m not. the pillar of OAU.
Comeback our father we Need you to save our Mama Afrika more than ever 😭😭😭😭or send us your Spirit of love unity and Justice 🙏
This is the type of content that we are supposed to be showing our kids. Proper and intellectual. Thumbs up
A great statesman. What a selfless leader, the epitome of vumunhu/ubuntu leadership! One of my heroes.
One of the great men of the twentieth century, The world could do with a few leaders of his calibre now (2018).
he was a visionary for sure
i wish all African leaders would be like him. bloodless and no corruption in his blood veins. i salute such. a real father indeed
I never knew him or anything about him before this video respect Africa United
You never did history in highschool? I thought most of these leaders are in most of the African school history books
I would have loved to meet Mwalimu, was way too young! RIP, you saved the continent, unfortunately hyenas later raided it with tribalism and corruption!
Fred O lol ah cmon. Could be worse.
Greatest leader of Africa 🇹🇿❤️🌍⭐👑
I love Mwalimu Nyerere,He has been inspiring and helping many nations in Africa.Mwalimu was more than a president.Many thanks for mama maria nyerere for being so kind and support him were necessary.One day i was thirsty around mwalimu nyerere house.I went there and was given water to drink.A stranger getting to one of famous and first president of Tanzania.Mama maria is so kind,helping people,supporting where necssary.I remember i was standar seven when mwalimu nyerere died.We love him and will always remember him.Humanitarian person,kind person,supportive and many more
This is highly commendable, there are few of these kind of people in Africa, Nelson Mandela was one of them, and others..
The history is about to repeat itself in Nigeria with Mr. Peter Obi..
African Economy must move forward..
my father greatly admired this man & i remember as a kid i used to travel to tz with my dad from nairobi
may his soul rest in perfect peace, good man is always good man,even after death
Prince Yeboah ALWAYS!
Praise GOD
This ordinary man with an extraordinary foresight main legacy was the formation of a tribalism free country devoid of religious division. His successors should take care of the rest.
His successors you mean
Teachers are the best leaders. If u want proof, then follow Tanzania Presidency.
Some now want to introduce some divisions within the country such as "province governments", which will lead to the erosion of our unit. Not only must we cherish our unity but we must defend it from our enemies within.
@@kambamazig02024 I do not disagree with devolution in its entirety. So long as the loopholes are constitutionally sealed, the fear of marginalisation is neither here nor there.
From Nyererefication to Magufulification.it may sound funny but as a🇹🇿🇹🇿 I know how it feels for these GODLY sent leaders to this country, their among many if not the best blessing God blessed our nation with,am so,so thankfull.
Magufuli hatunaye tena😥😥 Magufuli is no longer with us
Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, a sharp mind, and a kind heart. The greedy hyenas we had in kenya as leaders shock me till today. They stole ferociouscly too much that they didn't even know what to do with their plunders. Rest in peace Mwalimu, Africa is forever grateful.
Waaw yes!!!! This man is a professor of inspiration. We the Africans has a lot of meat to feed on. The founding father's legacies are books of encyclopaedia.
"My warning to our people is directed at both ends. Never be complacent, always examine yourself, cant you do better couldn't you do better, but dont be so self critical that you despair. Despair is unforgivable sin"
-Mwal. Julius Kambarage Nyerere
In my opinion, Mwalimu was a great statesman. He was neither a chief nor a corrupt president.
Nyerere was a champion of human rights. He was Africa's most vocal advocate for free speech and free press. Very early in Tanzania's independence he put in measures to assure that multi-party democracy would thrive in the new nation, that dissent was never stifled, and freedom of assembly was an inalienable right of every Tanzanian. His goverment supported trade unionists, and their right to strike for better wages and work conditions for their members.
His economic reforms are credited by many Economists for the rise of living standards for nearly all Tanzanians. The steady rise of Tanzanian GDP during his reign mirrored the economic miracle of West Germany. He was in a leader in establishing the Rule of Law in Africa. The Preventive Detention Act guaranteed accused of their rights under the law, and safe guarded people from arbitrary arrest and incarceration. During his presidency, his relentless fight against corruption and abuse of power made Tanzania a haven in Africa for foreign direct investment.
With the Arusha Declaration, the Tanzanian economy went into overdrive. The manufacturing sector saw many innovations which were quickly immitated in Asia and the West. The export and agricultual sectors earned Tanzania the title of The Breadbasket of East Africa. The 1970's saw Tanzania's Balance of Trade double, then almost triple pre-independence.
Nyerere is or rather was a brave man and leader -in Kenya he would have been called a fool for not stealing from public coffers when he had the chance
Bon 'n
I agree...Nyerere was phenomenal and though many Kenyans may not have seen it then, they will see the fruits of his legacy now. And he managed to suppress tribalism in his country unlike Kenyatta
Youre right, WIllie!
Nyumba ya Sanaa A legacy to Art and Artist
Despair is the unforgivable sin
And the national torch (mwenge wa Uhuru) had a message to bring hope where there's dispair!
"Kukata tamaa ni dhambi isiyosameheka" Mwalimu
The great man, role modal among leaders to be followed as an example. Leading his people with passion and integrity heart. With NO greedy for personal wealth. Supported many African freedom fighters.... from Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africans, and many more including Palestinians. Among the founders of the African Union with others like Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and others.
By the time Tanzanians were under abject poverty, the country could assist others both diplomatically well as military support to uproot colonial rule especially in south sub saharan countries. What kind of such a lovely heart of that person???
May God keep on remembering his love and passion for Africa and his people Tanzanians.
Africans will keep on honoring our forefathers who did great things for our continent. We should as well not only focused on minor mistakes alone, but we look forward to great things in a bigger picture of our continent.
Africa is one, together we CAN. Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, your contribution andpersonal commitment for Africans wellbeing is un is unforgottable.
A wonderful documentary. Hearing about him through those who knew him inspires and uplifts. I expected a different story and was pleasantly surprised. Not many leaders are loved in their own time.
Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere was no doubt one of the best leaders of Africa. Great legacy!
Greatest sons of the soil.
Thomas sankara, patrice lumumba, kwame nkrumah, sekou toure, modibo keita, nyerere, kenneth kaunda, samora machel.
Son of Afrika yep we need them more than ever now, we probably have 2 now a days
Gamal abel Nasser
Nice
Seretse Khama
@Mwaniki Mwaniki malema wont do anything but raise racial tensions and starve south africa. We need somebody like Seretse khama where he can bring privatization big corporations and good infrastructure to south africa.
This was a great teacher! I mean Julius Nyerere the great teacher!
The seed of peace,unity and solidarity that planted by nyerere in Tanzania will take effect on whole Africa one day,he hated the whites and their cultures and turn kiswahili to be the first language as African toung and second language to be english,May god bless his soul.
The world should be run by good teachers like Mwalimu Nyerere, they know how to unite us.
Tanzania has about 126 tribal languages but he managed to establish Swahili as a national language, for that he will foerver be one of my top 5 African presidents(heroes).
And then he said,treat peasants as Gods, which makes so much sense. They feed the country but they are the poorest 😢😢.
May he rest in peace ,
God bless Africa, God bless Tanzania.
If you consider the amount of obstacles that were stacked against us, the mountain this man had to climb considering the diversity and truth be told uneducated circumstances of 1960 - 1980 Tanzania, the cold war situation and the natural wealth curse bestowed on us. What he accomplished as a leader is in itself a miracle. God bless this man.
Are they actually blaring Celine's "My heart will go on" in the background in Tanzania?!! 3:27
There was a radio playing the song, probably inside the house
Plo lumumba called this man's name so much i had to know who he was good leader
Lumumba is pretty much the student of nyereres africanization
Very educative.Highly motivation. We are made to do Excellency in genuine and heart felt love
Thank you Tanzania, Thank you very mush.
Extraordinary human being, intelligent and he lead is People in simplicity way. I love Tanzanian, I love their humility and way of life. I love philosophy of love of your Country and love been African. You can see it today in Dar es salaam beautiful, vibrant City. I have admiration and love to Tanzania People, right from my Secondary School day, when I red about Nwalimu Julius Kanbarage Nyerere. Now Tanzania is my third home.
We love you too
So humble, easy access and a great father of Nation .
I like this african héros so much
Mwalimu truely African Leader
Amaizing , genuine, dreams it has brought the birthday of CHUO CHA UONGOZI CHA MWALIMU NYERERE IN PWANI KIBAHA. 👍 🙏
Am I imagining it or

Mwalimu Julius Nyerere is among key leaders in formation of the Organization of African Union (O.A.U) In Addis Ababa Ethiopia
great leaders of africa...
I continue to ask God why he did not create another Nyerere for Kenya as well.
Many wish so.
Find for a clip which he was explaining Kenya tribalism and why it was important for kenya to unite with Uganda and Tz to kill that problem.Check it coz it was very nice and amazing theory of killing tribalism
@@benobuyoya8675 please send the link
we really appreciate him as Charisma Leader and good pan-africanist with a good philosophy of Equality ,ujammaa na kujitegemea but agreat Task is ahead of Tanzanian to implement or not; lets be optimist mr E .gakuba M
The revolutionary of social justice and liberation of Africa.
Tanzanians should know that ujamaa was the best thing that ever happened to them by nyerere. I'm Kenyan and I know what it means to be tribalist nation. We're suffering!
So do I my friend, I'm Ethiopian a country where tribal politics is constitutional and causing endless misery....it is in fact a matter of time before the country disintegrates in to endless civil war....sad but inevitable with huge impact on the region at large given the size and the nature of the country...
Yes, Julius Nyerere never failed tanzania with ujamaa because he brough something which alot of Africans lack, he brought unity to his people and this is why Tz will prosper above so many african countries.
Sasa vyama hivi kweli viko serious kuiokoa nchi ytu. Mungu ibariki Tanzania. Amen.
It should have been much sooner than 1961 for Tanzania. President Nyerere was a brilliant man.
we need people like him in this world
Unlike Hitler
Nyerere a great selfless leader who laid a good and strong foundation for successful Tanzania.
Thank sir for everything you did to support Việt Nam in past. We Vietnamese will never forget you. ❤
He was indeed a great teacher and leader..
Self reliance was a good way of moving forward and independent, now Kenya is depending on food from Tanzania, with all the industries they have but they have lack of food most of east African countries food is supplied from Tanzania
He will always be in our heart. Baba wa taifa
Such a gem he was! Bless his soul.
A leader is one who knows the way, shows the way and follows the way. Rest on Mwalimu.
Julius Nyerere, in my view was the first African President to honored the democratic norm that compels one to exist an occupied democratic seat once his/her tenure in office came to a legitimate end oppose to the many others like Cameroonian President Paul Biya for example, that had deliberately refused to relinquished power in compliance with the democratic norms.
For that, I hold him at highest esteem coupled with his fight that ousted Idi Amin, Africa's tyrannical leader from power; a move that brought total liberation to the people of Uganda and Africa holistically.
He'll forever be remembered by historians for historical contributions whilst he continue to rest in perfect peace.
It's so great to see brave socialist african leaders like Nyerere, Machel, Neto and Barre all together. If only the majority of them like Machel, Mondlane, Lumumba, Biko, Nkrumah, Sankara, Mulele, Cabral, and Ngouabi weren't killed or ousted by the imperialists. RIP Julius Nyerere
You'd failed to mention Chief Obafemi Awolowo and General Murtala Mohammed both from Nigeria. They are qualified to be on that your list of Africas' great.
Please, read about them and you will realize that I'm not making a false accusation for your omission.
Oh, no mean to offend anyone for any of my omissions, most of those I omitted was not on a conscious basis. I didn't post a list to be the definitive list of best African leaders, and I think that because they cannot fit on a list, proves that Africans are more than capable of leading themselves.
ninjatigerbunny Good answer. God bless you. God Bless only good people of Africa and America.
One of he most underrated faces of African leadership ever existed.
Nyerere lived his faith and that is seen in his humility , his works , he lived as a Christian in the middle of the world one dies not need to be a religious clergy to be a saint ....... ordinary people can also become saints .....presidents , teachers , priests , children ,housewives we are all called to be saints in the middle of the world
Thank you.
I never know the story of mzee nyerere it wonderful story all good gift it comes from God it reminds me about mzee makufili africans stop the hate lean your mistakes unity brings the future it true if I don't have unity in my house how could I see the Danger's ? Please please africans were is your future laying from? Let us live as people in the modern world
One of Africa greatest leaders
