- 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.
Compare to the thieves we've had in Kenya. Kenyatta/Moi Families are billionaires, but Nyerere's good name will prevail.
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.
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 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.
Am from Zambia but proudly Tanzanian, I will forever be grateful for our forefathers
thats my president .I also like the president of bukina faso thomas sankara
This is our TANZANIAN HERO ever
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.
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
RIP Julius , one of the best friends to the Tito , your friends from Yugoslavia , great vision and way ahead of his time !
Self-reliance is the best policy for survival. Julius Nyerere was indeed one of the best leaders in Africa.
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
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.
''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
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
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
