Rediscovering Tanzania ’s Ujamaa –
Tribute to the Great Ntimbanjayo Millinga and
the Ruvuma Development AssociationSunday 8 February 2009 1.30 – 5.30 pm
Bolivar Hall, Venezuelan Embassy, 54 Grafton Way , London W1 5AJ
In the 1960s, a great anti-imperialist movement swept the world. President Julius Nyerere urged Tanzanians to reject capitalist exploitation, and build a society based on African communalism. This was at the heart of his development policies. Ntimbanjayo Millinga with a few others and hardly any funding put these views into practice and built an extraordinary rural society based on equity between women and men, young and old, with and without disabilities. They achieved a harmony most people have never known and which, we’re always told, ‘human nature’ prevents us from achieving.
Few know what rural people in Tanzania in the 1960s collectively created, despite lack of material resources. By 1969, 17 ujamaa villages had formed the Ruvuma Development Association (RDA). But the governing party was so hostile to grassroots power that, against Nyerere’s will, they closed it down. Tragically, Millinga died in 2008. But the RDA he led is a beacon today for grassroots struggles to change the world.
Participants include:
o Conrada Millinga, widow of Ntimbanjayo Millinga, and now involved in local self-help projects initiated by her husband in the years after the RDA’s closure.
o Suleman Toroka, head teacher of the remarkable RDA school at Litowa, where the RDA started, from which young people and all concerned with education can learn a great deal.
o Ralph and Noreen Ibbott, British colleagues, living with their children in an ujamaa village, who helped and gave technical advice to the RDA, at the invitation of Ntimbanjayo Millinga,. Noreen Ibbott worked with the women. Ralph Ibbott was a dedicated and skilled engineer, whose unique account of what the RDA achieved and how, and its destruction, will be published.
o Selma James, co-ordinator of the Global Women’s Strike, introduced the Strike’s 2006 re-publication of President Nyerere’s Arusha Declaration, and helps reclaim RDA for the movement today.
Part of an INTERNATIONAL GATHERING of the GLOBAL WOMEN’S STRIKE & INTERNATIONAL WOMEN COUNT NETWORK: THE STRUGGLE AGAINST POVERTY, WAR AND OCCUPATION, 31 Jan uary to 8 February 2009.
