Rashidi Kawawa

Rashidi Mfaume Kawawa (27 February 1926 – 31 December 2009) was a Tanzanian politician who was the second Tanganyikan prime minister from 22 January 1962 to 9 December 1962 and the first Tanzanian prime minister from 17 February 1972 until 13 February 1977, succeeded by Edward Sokoine. Kawawa was one of the founders of the Federation of Workers in 1955, where he was elected as the first General Secretary, before joining the Uhuru movement. It was in this capacity that he began to take a more active role in the Tanganyika independence struggle, mobilizing employees. He was previously the Secretary General of the Government Employees Federation (TLF). Mzee Kawawa left his work at the Workers' Federation in February 1956 because he was a government employee, which banned him from acting in politics, and opted to join the TANU movement to seek Uhuru.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rashidi_Kawawa&action=edit Quotes Leadership is a trust, not a means of domination.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashidi_Kawawa?utm_ A leader must be an example through actions, not words alone.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashidi_Kawawa?utm_< Work is the foundation of a nation's development.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashidi_Kawawa?utm_< We shall not be free unless the whole of Africa is free.
