Africa Riled for Forgetting Nyerere

The new generation of African leaders has been criticized for overlooking the contribution of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere,and other founding fathers, to the liberation of the continent.

The new Chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), President Robert Mugabe, told the 34th Summit of the organization, that the region and Africa owed their success to  Mwalimu.

Speaking after taking over the chairmanship from President Arthur Mutharika of Malawi, Mr. Mugabe, whose liberation movement was hosted in Tanzania, lamented that little had been done to honour Mwalimu.

"They have done something for(Kwame) Nkrumah  and (Nelson) Mandela at the AU, but there is nothing for Mwalimu. No symbol," lamented President Mugabe, adding that it was Mwalimu Nyerere who bore the burden of African liberation.

"We must do something (for Mwalimu). Zimbabwe will do something," he promised.

The SADC Chairman also riled at the West for looking the other way as the Israel army massacred innocent civilians in Gaza "in the guise of fighting terrorists.

"Is Israel so precious that it can't be stopped? It is criminal for the world to keep quiet over such crime against humanity," he said.

He also called on the European Union and USA to lift economic sanctions against Zimbabwe after popular elections in his country. He said the sanctions had adverse effect on Zimbabwe's economy.

The two-day ordinary summit ends in Victoria Falls today. It was attended by President Jakaya Kikwete and the Heads of State and Government of South Africa, Malawi, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. Angola, Botswana and Zambia were  represented by Vice-Presidents while the kingdom of Swaziland was represented by Prime Minister.

The Tanzanian delegation included the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hon. Bernard Membe, the Minister for Industry and Trade, Hon. Abdallah Kigoda and the Zanzibar Minister of state in the President's Office, Hon. Harun Ali Suleiman.

Neema Stephen, a Form Three student at Nabote Secondary School in Njombe, has won the first prize in this year's Southern African Development Community (SADC)  Secondary Schools Essay Competition, beating Zimbabwe and Swaziland to second and third positions, respectively.

Neema was awarded a certificate and US$1,500. The second winner received $750 and the third prize was $500. Secondary schools in the region were asked to write an essay on the effects of climate change and discuss the remedy.

The prizes were presented to the winners by H.E. Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika, President of the Republic of Malawi, in his capacity as the outgoing SADC Chairman, at the sideline of the SADC summit.

President Mutharika also presented prizes to winners of mass media competition, which eluded Tanzanians. The SADC Council of ministers has directed the secretariat of the organization to promote the competition among member states.

The competitions are coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in collaboration with the relevant sectoral ministries.

Meanwhile, the Republic of Zimbabwe has bestowed its highest National Honour, the Royal Order of Munumutapa, on retired Brigadier General Hashim Mbita in recognition of his contribution to the liberation of the Southern African country.

H.E. Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, announced the decision during the opening of the 34th SADC Summit at Victoria Falls, after launching a nine-volume publication on the Southern Africa liberation struggles, coordinated by General Mbita.

President Mugabe said beside the medal, his government had awarded General Mbita, who was the Executive Secretary of the OAU Liberation Committee for 22 years, US$100,000.

General Mbita could not attend the ceremony due to ill health, and the medal and cheque were received on his behalf by his daughter, Shella.

The OAU Liberation Committee, which was based in Dar es Salaam, was  key in mobilizing arms and military supplies for liberation movements of the Southern Africa region. It was dissolved in 1994 after the defeat of apartheid in South Africa.
