".....Work for revolution. Don't fear revolution. Those who fear revolution are exploiters. When exploiters hear of a revolution they cry: Mama wee, mama wee!" Those who fear changes are satisfied. They doubt change. But a poor man will ask for change. He cannot tolerate the status quo because he is suffering. A poor man cannot be a conservative. Those who cherish conservatism are those who have something. If a rich man is told that the poor are holding a meeting he begins to worry. They fear change because it will destroy their established structure for exploitation. Whoever opposes change is somewhat better off. When a government calls for change the capitalists will say the government is cheating, but a poor man accepts change and is ready to take chances. He can even afford to be cheated. The poor man has nothing to lose but his poverty. So you......... should not fear change: You should not remain conservative...." J.K. Nyerere 31st January, 1969: Dar es Salaam.

Thank you for this good piece of wisdom that still lives on and on. .. . . . . . . . . . .
 
Nyerere mwenyewe alihofia mabadiliko, uongo? Hapa ina maana kuwa jambo husemewa watu na sio msemaji. Nyerere aliogopa mabadiliko ya 1995
