Arusha. The East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) has elected the inaugural leadership of the East African Parliamentary Network Against Corruption (EAPNAC), marking a major milestone in the regional fight for transparency, integrity, and accountability within the East African Community (EAC).

The elections, held on Tuesday, October 14, during a plenary session in Arusha, brought together Members of the Assembly representing all seven EAC Partner States. Rwandan legislator Clement Musangabatware was elected as the first President of EAPNAC, with Kurgat Zipporah Jesang Kering from Kenya chosen as Deputy President.

Babirye Veronica kadogo from Uganda will serve as Treasurer, while Dr Jogo Woda Jeremiah Odok from South Sudan was elected Secretary General. In addition, national Focal Persons–Chapter Representatives–were appointed to coordinate EAPNAC activities in their respective countries.

They include Dr Gladness Salema (Tanzania), Mugyenyi Mary Rutamwebwa (Uganda), Kalonzo Kennedy Musyoka (Kenya), Matthias Harebamungu (Rwanda), Nkurunziza Olivier (Burundi), Ngate Mangu Franaois (DR Congo), and Ayason Mukulia Kennedy (South Sudan). Following his election, Mr Musangabatware expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and vowed to lead the network with integrity and inclusiveness.

“EAPNAC will continue to be a strong voice in ensuring that public resources are managed responsibly and that transparency and integrity remain central to the East African Community’s development agenda,” he said. “We must work collectively to build systems that prevent corruption, hold leaders accountable, and restore public confidence in our institutions.

” He further underscored the importance of collaboration with national parliaments, anti-corruption agencies, civil society, and development partners in fostering a more transparent and accountable region. Established to unite legislators from all EAC Partner States in the fight against corruption, EAPNAC serves as a platform for advocacy, ethical leadership, and governance reform.

The network has been instrumental in strengthening legislative capacity and promoting good governance across the region. The election of its first Executive Committee marks a new chapter for EAPNAC, with the leadership expected to intensify advocacy, strengthen oversight, and accelerate the implementation of regional anti-corruption frameworks within the EAC.

Dar es Salaam. Airtel Money Tanzania has initiated a strategic collaboration with the Cereals and Other Produce Regulatory Authority (COPRA) aimed at deepening digital financial inclusion within the agricultural sector.

The engagement seeks to empower farmers and agribusiness stakeholders with easier, safer access to digital financial services–enhancing efficiency, transparency, and growth across Tanzania’s agricultural value chains. Airtel Money Tanzania Managing Director Andrew Rugambo said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to transforming agriculture through financial technology.

“We believe digital financial technology is a catalyst for agricultural transformation. Through our engagement with COPRA, we aim to make financial services more accessible to farmers, promote transparency in payments, and drive economic growth through digital innovation,” he said.

COPRA Chief Executive Officer Irene Madeje Mlola noted that the collaboration would help streamline transactions, protect farmers’ funds, and strengthen their integration into formal financial systems. “This partnership will improve efficiency in agricultural value chains and enhance farmers’ participation in the digital economy,” she said.

The initiative reinforces Airtel Money’s broader agenda to advance inclusive growth and financial empowerment for Tanzania’s farming communities. .

Dar es Salaam. Three key Young Africans (Yanga) players, Pacome Zouzoua, Prince Dube, and Duke Abuya are set to rejoin the team ahead of the first leg of the CAF Champions League second preliminary round match against Silver Strikers FC in Lilongwe, Malawi.

Currently, the trio is away on national team duty for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Pacome Zouzoua is with Ivory Coast, preparing to face Kenya’s Harambee Stars today in Abidjan.

Duke Abuya is with Kenya, while Prince Dube, representing Zimbabwe, is expected to join the team from South Africa. According to sources within the club, Yanga are scheduled to depart Tanzania on Thursday ahead of their Saturday fixture at Bingu National Stadium, with kickoff set for 4:00 PM East African Time.

The source further confirmed that additional squad members, Celestin Ecua, Lassine Kouma (both from Chad), as well as Bakari Mwamnyeto, Israel Mwenda, and Ibrahim “Bacca” Hamad (all with Tanzania’s Taifa Stars) are set to report back to Dar es Salaam tomorrow to resume preparations. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad is actively training at Avic Town, fine-tuning tactics and match readiness.

Job Dickson and Clement Mzize, who have been sidelined due to injuries, have joined training sessions in a limited capacity. Their participation in the upcoming match will be determined by the final medical assessments, with current indications suggesting a 50-50 chance of inclusion.

The club’s preparation strategy appears focused on balancing fitness, recovery, and tactical readiness. With multiple players returning from international duty, head coach Patrick Aussems is expected to have more options for squad rotation, especially in crucial positions that can influence the outcome of this CAF Champions League tie.

Yanga will be aiming to establish an advantage in the first leg before heading into the return fixture. Sources say the team is working on intense tactical drills, defensive organization, and attacking fluidity, ensuring the squad is ready for the high-pressure environment of Lilongwe.

The return of Zouzoua, Dube, and Abuya is seen as a significant boost for the Tanzanian giants, given their international experience and recent form. Meanwhile, the integration of partially fit players like Job and Mzize could add depth to the squad, provided they pass fitness tests.

With CAF Champions League ambitions at stake, Yanga’s management and coaching staff are leaving no stone unturned to ensure the team is fully prepared. Fans will be hoping that the reintegration of national team players and the recovery of injured stars will translate into a strong and competitive performance in Malawi.

Dar es Salaam. The Tanzanian shilling has emerged as one of East Africa’s most resilient currencies, with experts and the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) attributing its stability to surging gold prices and improved export performance.

Gold prices have soared to historic highs, surpassing $4,000 per troy ounce (31.1g) late last week, as investors worldwide rush to the precious metal amid global economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Since the start of 2025, gold prices have risen by more than 50 percent, a surge analysts link partly to United States President Donald Trump’s return to office earlier this year.

The metal’s value spiked in April following renewed trade tensions under the Trump administration and rose again in August after he publicly criticised the independence of the US Federal Reserve. Ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine have further driven investors toward gold as a safe haven.

This development has brought good fortune to Tanzania, Africa’s seventh-largest gold producer after Ghana, South Africa, Mali, Burkina Faso, Sudan and Guinea. The latest BoT data show the country’s gold export earnings surpassed the $4 billion mark for the first time in history during the year ending August 2025. Tanzania earned $4.3 billion from gold exports in that period, up from $3.2 billion the previous year, a 37.5 percent increase.

As a result, the Tanzanian shilling weakened by only around six percent against the US dollar in the year ending October 13, 2025, compared with a 10 percent depreciation of the Kenyan shilling over the same period. The Ugandan shilling lost about four percent, mainly due to foreign investment inflows linked to the country’s oil industry.

BoT Governor Emmanuel Tutuba said both the price and volume of gold exports have increased significantly. For the first time, gold prices hit $4,063 per troy ounce, driven by investor demand during global uncertainty.

“This increase in gold exports boosts the availability of dollars in Tanzania,” said Governor Tutuba. “The Bank of Tanzania buys gold directly from miners, who either sell to the central bank or export it, helping to inject more foreign currency into the economy.

” He said that import demand has declined as local industries now produce goods such as tiles, glass, and furniture, reducing reliance on foreign products. Mr Tutuba also highlighted the impact of a new law requiring all domestic transactions to be conducted in Tanzanian shillings rather than US dollars.

“This policy has strengthened the shilling because local goods and services are now paid for in the national currency, while dollars are reserved for external trade,” he explained. Beyond gold, other exports are contributing to the stronger currency.

The tourism sector, particularly in Zanzibar and Arusha, has rebounded sharply, while agricultural exports, including maize, beans, rice, and groundnuts, remain robust. “Strong gold exports, reduced imports, prudent currency management, supportive laws, and rising non-traditional exports have all contributed to the improved value of the Tanzanian shilling,” Mr Tutuba said.

Independent economist Christopher Makombe echoed this view, saying the shilling’s strength stems from higher foreign exchange inflows, sound government regulation, and improved macroeconomic fundamentals. “Higher earnings from gold, agriculture, and tourism have increased dollar supply,” he said.

“At the same time, regulations discouraging dollar use in local transactions have encouraged people and businesses to convert their holdings into shillings, reducing pressure on the currency.” He noted that the government’s directive requiring gold dealers to sell part of their reserves to the BoT has boosted foreign reserves and strengthened investor confidence.

On a broader level, Mr Makombe said Tanzania’s economic stability, marked by low inflation, steady GDP growth, and a narrowing current account deficit, has reinforced the shilling’s resilience. “Demand for dollars has eased following the completion of major import projects and a drop in global oil prices, which has lowered the import bill and foreign currency outflows,” he added.

Another independent analyst, Oscar Mkude, noted that while the shilling experienced volatility against the US dollar late last year, the BoT’s interventions helped restore stability. “Earlier, it was difficult to access dollars through banks due to parallel market activity,” he explained.

“But as tourism and gold earnings increased around mid-year, the supply of foreign currency improved significantly.” He added that seasonal factors also supported the shilling’s rebound.

After the harvest season, increased food supply reduced import demand, while the BoT’s monetary tightening early in 2024, raising interest rates to six percent, helped curb inflation and stabilise the currency. “The subsequent reduction to 5.

75 percent reflects a more accommodative policy stance,” he said. Mr Mkude further noted that the BoT’s gold reserve policy, which requires exporters to remit 20 percent of their proceeds to the central bank, aims to build strategic reserves.

“Over time, the BoT plans to accumulate enough gold to use as a monetary asset. This will enhance its ability to intervene effectively in the forex market if the shilling weakens,” he said.

Dar es Salaam. The Tanzanian Immigration Department has deported two foreign nationals for breaching immigration regulations, the department said in a statement on October 14, 2025. The statement confirmed that Dr Brinkel Stefanie, a German national and Catherine Janel Almquist Kinokfu, an American citizen were expelled from Tanzania on October 13, 2025, after being found to have violated the terms of their visas and other related conditions.

The Immigration Department urged all foreign residents and visitors to observe Tanzania’s laws and visa requirements, warning that breaches of the Immigration Act No. 54 and its regulations would attract stern measures, including deportation.

The statement was signed by the department’s spokesperson, SSI Paul J. Mselle, and stressed the country’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of its immigration system while ensuring lawful and orderly stays for foreign nationals.

Although the department did not specify the precise nature of the violations, the two names were mentioned in the High Court earlier this month as invitees to attend the treason trial of Chadema national chairperson Tundu Lissu. On Monday, October 6, 2025, Mr Lissu told the High Court he had been instructed to submit a list of 100 people he wished to attend the hearing, including lawyers, party officials and relatives.

He said he submitted the list despite limited communication while in custody, but several people on it were denied entry to the courtroom. Among those he named were Dr Brinkel Stefanie, who travelled from Germany, and Almquist Kinokfu from the United States.

Mr Lissu’s trial, being heard by a three-judge panel led by Iringa High Court Sub-Registry Judge-in-Charge Dunstan Ndunguru, with Justices James Karayemaha and Ferdinand Kiwonde, opened earlier this month. He faces one count of treason under section 39(2)(d) of the Penal Code, accused of inciting the public to prevent the holding of this year’s general election.

Prosecutors allege that on April 3, 2025, in Dar es Salaam, Mr Lissu said: “If they say this position amounts to rebellion, then yes because we are saying we will stop the election, we will mobilise resistance–that is how change comes we are going to cause disruption this election we are going to mess it up completely we are going to cause serious turmoil” Mr Lissu first appeared in court on April 10, 2025, at Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court for preliminary proceedings. After investigations concluded, the case was committed to the High Court on August 18, 2025, for a full hearing.

Cameroon opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma declared victory late on Monday in the country’s October 12 presidential election, urging President Paul Biya to accept defeat and “honour the truth of the ballot box”. “Our victory is clear.

It must be respected,” Tchiroma said in a speech on his Facebook page from his hometown of Garoua in the north of the Central African state. “The people have chosen.

And this choice must be respected.” Tchiroma, 76, a former government spokesperson and employment minister, broke ranks with Biya earlier this year and mounted a campaign that drew large crowds and endorsements from a coalition of opposition parties and civic groups.

Biya, 92, the world’s oldest serving head of state, is seeking an eighth term after 43 years in power. Analysts had expected his control over state institutions and a fragmented opposition to give him an edge in the election, despite growing public discontent over economic stagnation and insecurity.

Tchiroma praised voters for defying intimidation and staying at polling stations late into the night to protect their ballots. “I also thank candidates who have already sent me their congratulations and recognised the will of the people,” Tchiroma said.

“We have placed the regime before its responsibilities: either it shows greatness by accepting the truth of the ballot box, or it chooses to plunge the country into turmoil that will leave an indelible scar in the heart of our nation,” he warned The government has not officially responded to Tchiroma’s declaration. However, Minister of Territorial Administration Paul Atanga Nji warned over the weekend that any unilateral publication of results would be considered “high treason,” adding that only the Constitutional Council has the authority to announce the winner.

Cameroon’s electoral law allows results to be published and posted at polling stations, but final tallies must be validated by the Constitutional Council, which has until October 26 to announce the outcome. Tchiroma said he would soon release a region-by-region breakdown of vote tallies compiled from publicly posted results.

“This victory is not that of one man, nor of one party. It is the victory of a people,” he said.

He also called on the military, security forces and government administrators to remain loyal to the “republic, not the regime”. Cameroon’s single-round electoral system awards the presidency to the candidate with the most votes.

More than 8 million people were registered to vote in the election. .

Kigoma. ACT Wazalendo parliamentary candidate for Kigoma Urban Constituency, Zitto Kabwe, has unveiled an ambitious plan to transform Kigoma into a trade and transport hub for the Great Lakes region, should voters give his party a new mandate in the 2025 General Election.

Addressing a large rally at the Mwanga Community Centre Grounds on Sunday, Mr Kabwe outlined a 15-point plan aimed at revitalising the local economy, creating jobs, and improving public services. His pledges ranged from port and market infrastructure to social welfare and youth empowerment initiatives.

“It is time to awaken and choose leaders who deliver, not just promise,” Mr Kabwe told residents. “We have shown before that true leadership delivers results you can see and feel.

Now we must build on that foundation to make Kigoma the economic centre it was meant to be.” Mr Kabwe, who previously served as MP for Kigoma Urban, cited major achievements during ACT Wazalendo’s earlier leadership of the Kigoma Ujiji Municipality between 2015 and 2020, including new roads, drainage systems, schools, markets, and the construction of the Ujiji and Kibirizi ports.

“These successes are proof of what true leadership can achieve when it listens to the people,” he said, adding that the ruling party had “failed to turn promises into progress.” Turning Kigoma into a regional trade powerhouse At the heart of Mr Kabwe’s plan is a push to make Kigoma a Trade and Transport Hub for the Great Lakes, anchored on the expansion of Kigoma Port.

He pledged to ensure that port operation contracts benefit local residents and not “foreign interests,” while promoting Kigoma as a final destination for regional cargo. He also committed to closely monitor the Shipyard Project at Katabe-Bangwe and the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) extension to ensure timely completion and maximum benefit for the community.

Empowering the blue economy Recognising fishing as a key sector contributing 30 percent of the local economy, Mr Kabwe promised reforms to ease levies on fishermen, introduce modern boats powered by alternative energy, promote fish farming, and upgrade landing sites and storage facilities. He also pledged to complete strategic markets–including the Mwanga International Market and Kibirizi Market–as part of broader efforts to empower small-scale traders and strengthen Kigoma’s informal economy.

Urban renewal Zitto’s plan includes reviving Ujiji Town as a historic trade centre through road and port projects, improved flood control, and a new Ujiji City Project to spur economic activity. He also promised to build stormwater drainage systems, rehabilitate neighbourhood roads, and turn flood-prone areas like Katubuka ponds into economic zones.

He said Kigoma’s expansion would be guided by the development of satellite towns in Bangwe, Kagera, and Gungu, supported by modern planning and essential infrastructure. Jobs, education, and health for all To tackle unemployment, Mr Kabwe proposed a Sh1 billion interest-free fund for small entrepreneurs, bodaboda operators, and women traders.

The fund would also help youth purchase their own motorcycles to “end exploitative contracts.” On social services, he pledged to restore community health insurance, eliminate delivery costs for expectant mothers, and ensure free maternal healthcare.

He also promised to establish a Technical School and Kigoma University, as well as four new high schools–two for sciences and two for arts–to prepare youth for future opportunities. Justice, industry, and inclusion Zitto further vowed to ensure fair compensation for residents affected by the Kigoma Special Economic Zone (KISEZ), airport expansion, and flood control projects.

He also called for new industries, such as fish processing plants, to boost job creation and lower product prices. “We promised, we delivered.

Trust us to build our city again,” Mr Kabwe declared, urging voters to choose ACT Wazalendo candidates at all levels. “The 2025 elections are our time to reject stagnation and embrace change.

” He closed his address with a call for unity and courage: “Together, we will open doors of opportunity, defeat poverty, and make Kigoma Urban the envy of Tanzania. This is our time–let’s seize it.

Mbeya. Vice President Dr Philip Mpango has called on Tanzanian leaders and citizens to emulate the virtues of the Father of the Nation, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere and continue praying for him to be among the saints.

Dr Mpango made the call on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 during a special memorial mass held at the Mwanjelwa Catholic Church in Mbeya to mark the 26th anniversary of Mwalimu Nyerere’s passing. The service was attended by several top government officials, including Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa and Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Tulia Ackson.

Addressing the congregation, Dr Mpango urged leaders and citizens to live by Nyerere’s principles of humility, service, and integrity. He also asked the Prime Minister to ensure that the prayers read by religious leaders are aired by national broadcasters, especially Radio Tanzania.

“I thank and commend you for this meaningful service. As leaders, we must follow the good example of the late Mwalimu Nyerere.

Each of us, in our position, should continue to pray for him to be among the saints,” he said. Earlier, Archbishop Gervas Nyaisonga of the Mbeya Catholic Archdiocese described Nyerere as a compassionate, loving, and faithful man whose life reflected holiness beyond religious boundaries.

He explained that the canonisation process begins with recognising a person’s life of virtue and service, followed by the declaration of ‘venerable’, then ‘blessed’, and finally sainthood. “The final stage is sainthood, which confirms that the person is in heaven.

The process for Mwalimu Nyerere is still in its early stage and will take time,” said Archbishop Nyaisonga. He added that Nyerere’s legacy continues to inspire because of his humility, faith, and honesty.

“He can be mentioned among the saints, like the late popes. Nyerere avoided hypocrisy and embodied holiness in politics, social life, and the economy,” he said.

Archbishop Nyaisonga further noted that Nyerere left a lasting legacy through education, promoting the Kiswahili language internationally, and demonstrating integrity in public service without pursuing personal gain. “Even after retirement, he continued to share his views for the good of the nation.

The Catholic Church believes that God has already granted him sainthood,” he said, urging Tanzanians to reflect on their own lives. “If we desire to be saints, let us use Mwalimu Nyerere as our example.

When we wrong one another, let us remember that judgement awaits us all,” he said. Delivering remarks on behalf of the Mbeya Region, Regional Commissioner Beno Malisa thanked religious leaders and citizens for attending the mass and encouraged them to participate in the upcoming Uhuru Torch race celebrations.

“I thank all religious leaders and citizens for turning out in large numbers, and I invite you to join the Uhuru Torch celebrations here in Mbeya,” said Mr Malisa. .

Dar es Salaam. The popular seafood restaurant Samaki Samaki today celebrates 18 years since it officially opened its doors on October 13, 2007, marking nearly two decades of passion, growth, and resilience in Tanzania’s hospitality industry.

The restaurant’s journey has been remarkable, starting with its first branch at Mbezi Beach Massana, which was later destroyed by fire. Another branch at Posta also caught fire, forcing the team to relocate to Masaki, where the restaurant rebuilt its identity and regained customer trust.

According to Cleaners Manager Vitus Mkinyi, who has been with the company since 2007, the transition to Masaki came with challenges but eventually turned into success. “It was not easy at the beginning, but customers gradually adapted,” he says.

“Working here for 18 years has changed my life. I have managed to build a home for my parents and educate my children through this job.

” Masaki Branch Manager Naomi Lema shares a similar story of growth. Having started as a waitress, she has risen through the ranks to become branch manager.

“We have been through a lot, but God is good. I am proud of how far we have come as a team,” she says.

Kalito’s Way Group (KWG) Chairman, Carlos Bastos alias known as Kalito Samaki, says the “Sweet 18” celebration is taking place at both Masaki and Mlimani City branches. He explained that Samaki Samaki, Wavuvi Kempu, and Kukukuku are all operated under Kalito’s Way Group, which continues to expand its footprint in Tanzania’s food and beverage sector.

“It is a big day for us. We have passion for this business, and today we celebrate 18 years of growth and creativity,” he said.

From its humble beginnings at Mbezi Beach to becoming one of Dar es Salaam’s most loved seafood brands, Samaki Samaki’s 18-year journey stands as a story of resilience, teamwork, and a deep love for great food. .

Dar es Salaam. As the nation marks 26 years since the passing of the Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, Tanzanians continue to live the dream of a country he built, one where “everything is possible.

” Since his death in 1999, Tanzania has held five general elections. On October 29 the country will head to the polls for the sixth time, reaffirming the democratic legacy that Mwalimu Nyerere laid down, a legacy in which Tanzania remains the land of equal opportunity for all.

Mwalimu built a foundation on which every Tanzanian, regardless of background, origin, or family lineage, can aspire to be anything. From humble beginnings, young people have risen to leadership and influence.

Felix Mkosamali, a 24-year-old student from a modest background, contested and won a parliamentary seat while still in his first year at St Augustine University. Likewise, figures such as Zitto Kabwe, David Kafulila, John Mnyika and Mwigulu Nchemba emerged from ordinary families to serve as Members of Parliament.

In Tanzania, success has no set path. It embraces those who dare to pursue their dreams.

From Kariakoo’s hustlers such as Sanda Yenga “Sandaland” and Fred Ngajiro “Vunjabei,” who are now billionaires and business leaders, to young entrepreneurs winning major contracts with football clubs like Young Africans and Simba, Mwalimu’s vision of possibility remains alive. A nation of equal opportunity From Nyerere to Samia Suluhu Hassan, Tanzania’s six presidents have each carved their own path without family privilege or inherited political power.

That continuity of merit-based leadership is part of Mwalimu’s enduring gift. Even among Tanzania’s wealthiest individuals, none are children of political leaders.

This reflects Nyerere’s belief that the country belongs to every citizen. From a poor child in Kizimkazi who became President, to another from Buhigwe, Philip Mpango, now Vice President and Kassim Majaliwa from Ruangwa, who rose to become Prime Minister–all exemplify the equality Nyerere envisioned.

He could have chosen to hand over power to one of his children upon retirement but refused, affirming that Tanzania belonged to all, not to the Nyerere family of Butiama. The country’s business history tells similar stories.

Reginald Mengi, who grew up herding livestock, became one of Tanzania’s most successful industrialists. Said Bakhresa, once a small snack vendor, is now a billionaire.

These stories are possible because Nyerere nurtured a nation that believes in hard work, discipline and equality before the law. Every Tanzanian, he taught, has the right to pursue legitimate business and prosperity.

No tribe owns Tanzania Through the Arusha Declaration of 1967, Nyerere bound leaders to integrity and humility, rejecting the notion that anyone deserved more than others. In the Tanzania he built, every tribe, from the Wanyakyusa and Wanyamwezi to the Wapare, Wamakonde and Wazaramo, was recognised and made to feel part of the nation.

Over 120 ethnic groups coexist peacefully, united by their shared Tanzanian identity. Inter-tribal marriages are commonplace, symbolising the inclusiveness Mwalimu envisioned.

A Mkerewe can settle in Arusha or a Mfipa in Tanga without being made to feel like a stranger. Wherever one travels within the country, Tanzania feels like home.

Religious tolerance also stands as one of Nyerere’s lasting legacies. Citizens are free to worship as they wish and no one faces discrimination based on faith.

Both public and private institutions employ people of all religions. A Christian-owned company may have mostly Muslim workers, while a Muslim-owned organisation may employ Christians and non-believers alike.

An enduring legacy Twenty-six years after his passing, Tanzanians remember Mwalimu Nyerere with gratitude for building a just and inclusive nation. His leadership created institutions and values that continue to define Tanzania’s stability and unity.

When compared to many African nations that experienced turmoil after independence, Tanzania’s peace and cohesion stand out as proof of Nyerere’s vision and wisdom. Thank you, Father of the Nation, for building a country where everything is possible.
