South African music icon, Yvonne Chaka-Chaka, has urged the leaders in the continent to emulate Father of the Nation Mwalimu Julius Nyerere by fighting for the interests of their people.

The African celebrity said Mwalimu Nyerere didn’t fight only for Tanzania’s liberation, he fought for whole of African.

“For me, Mwalimu Nyerere is not the Father of the Nation for Tanzanians only; he is the father of the African Continent,” Ms Chaka-chaka told the media in Arusha yesterday.

She Chaka-Chaka, who is a participants to the ongoing African Grant-makers Network general meeting here in Arusha said Mwalimu made a lot of efforts to ensure all African states are free from colonial regime.

“He spent money other Tanzanian resources to fight for other African countries’ freedom. Tanzanian soldiers fought for the liberation of their sisters and brothers across Africa. Nyerere is the real Son of Africa,” stressed the South African Musician

Earlier during her opening remarks, the former President of the African Parliament, Ambassador Gertrude Mongella urged Africans to promote their traditional ways of helping and giving to the needy.

“We have built and developed the tradition, custom and culture of supporting each other during our social activities including marriage, funerals, mortality and other social gatherings. We should continue doing this to those in need,” said Ms Mongella

However, she said that while helping others, human dignity of both recipients and giver should be upheld. According to the Chairperson of the African Grant-makers Network launched in 2009 in Accra Ghana, Theo Sowa, among other things the annual general meeting will also elect new leaders.

Kabisa tena sana japo alitupatia ujinga watanzania

Acha kabisa bila Mwl Watanzania tungekuwa watumwa katika nchi hii, nadhani umeona sera ya Serikali ya 3 na 4 inavyopora ardhi kwa watanzania na kuwapa wageni eti kwa kisingizio cha wawekezaji. Mwl Nyerere tutaendelea kumkumbuka sana.

Watanzania tunatajiwa kujitambua na kuona namna gani tuondokane na ujinga ambao waliopo madarakani wanafanya mchana kweupe huku tukinyamaza. Tufanya maamuzi sahihi mwezi Octoba kwa kuchagua viongozi wasio wala rusha, watu majini na wazalendo.

I respect Nyerere. What are you trying to get at? May God rest his soul in peace. He was a true hero.

We have nothing against Mwl. Nyerere,Mister. Only that he was a great man who made great mistakes, just like any other human being.

He himself admitted to the failures of his grand ujamaa social experiment which had to be abandoned. That was a mistake, albeit a honest one, aimed at improving the living standards of his pipo.
Why should u be offended by my remark? Mwl. wasnt a god,he was only human, prone to errors just like anybody else.

Now about this very common remark by black pipo about not 'Kissing white men's asses'.
Who'd kiss another man's butt anyway?
Such statements only betray black pipo's thots and feelings about white pipo. They view them with awe and utter respect. They fear and admire them. They see them as superior, as though they're gods on earth.
At the same time they are resentful of this percieved white man's superiority. Black pipo thus try to revolt white's domination by using such useless remarks,''I dont kiss white man's ass'', which is pretty idiotic of us, black pipo.

Iconoclastes;

Ujamaa failed, maybe yes... Would you tell me in which poor countries Ubepari has succeeded?

 

[nyani kipera]

Mbilimbi mbichi, I am sorry I have to agree with Iconoclases. Nyerere's ideas completely failed. You just have to look at our neighbours to realise that with all our resources, we are still playing catch up.
