Abstract

Mwalimu Nyerere, the first President of Tanzania, passed away on 14 October 1999. He fought for the liberation of Tanzania from British colonialism and fought tirelessly against colonialism, racism, injustice and to preserve human dignity not only in Africa, but also throughout the Third World. He was well known for his uncompromising support for the liberation movement and his untiring work to ensure their victory. He was not only Father of the Tanzanian nation but also a mentor of the birth of other nations in the region. This essay is a brief appreciation of his work, a memory to his warmth and his love for humanity.
