Mzungu (] ) is a Bantu language term used in the African Great Lakes region to refer to people of European descent.
 It is a commonly used expression among Bantu peoples in Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Comoros, Mayotte and Zambia, dating back to the 18th century.
 Literally translated it meant "someone who roams around" or "wanderer."
 The term was first used in the African Great Lakes region to describe European explorers in the 18th century, apparently as a result of their extensive travelling all over the world.
 The word Mzungu comes from Kiswahili, where "zungu" or "zunguka" is the word for spinning around on the same spot.
 "Kizunguzungu" is Kiswahili for a dizziness.
 The term is now used to refer to "someone with white skin" or "white skin".
 The word Mzungu in Swahili can also mean someone who speaks English.
 A person in Swahili is "Mtu" and "English" in Swahili is "Kizungu" hence the combination of the two words to make up a word "Mzungu."
The East African Community (EAC) is an intergovernmental organisation composed of six countries in the African Great Lakes region in eastern Africa: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
 John Magufuli, the president of Tanzania, is the EAC's chairman.

 In 2008, after negotiations with the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the EAC agreed to an expanded free trade area including the member states of all three organizations.
 The EAC is an integral part of the African Economic Community.
