WITH DEEP SORROW, THIS BLOG JOINS THE TANZANIA COMMUNITY IN MOURNING THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF THE FATHER OF THE NATION RASHID KAWAWA WHO DIED THIS MORNING AT MUHIMBILI HOSPITAL IN DAR ES SALAAM TANZANIA-MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE

Mzee Rashid Mfaume Kawawa is an unassuming man, humble, polite and simple. He has always been like that. But behind this façade, there is the real Kawawa, a man of determination, discipline and decision. A man who sets things done in Tanzania

AYOUB MZEE WITH RASHID KAWAWA

The nineteen fifties were eventful years from a historical perspective. They saw the creation of TFL, and more importantly before TFL, they saw the founding of the Tanganyika African National Union on 7th July 1954 and of the Afro-Shirazi Party in Zanzibar, on 5th February 1954. Comrade Rashid Mfaume Kawawa joined TANU soon after it was founded. In 1956 Comrade Kawawa led to historical initiatives. He chaired the committee which formally created the TANU Youth League, the organized youth wing of the party and he also led the team which launched the first African independent newspaper, the MWAFRICA. Comrade Kawawa finally became Vice-President of TANU when the holder of the post, Mzee John Rupia retired.

For most of this period, Comrade Kawawa was at the side of our founding father, Mwalimu Nyerere. Mwalimu held Comrade Kawawa in high regard and esteem. Mwalimu knew that Comrade Kawawa was loyal and true. Under the leadership of Mwalimu, Comrade Kawawa and other patriots have succeeded in building national unity and laying the foundations of a free and just society. The younger generations should continue with the challenge.
