Afrika loved Mwalimu. But the term meant more. It was also a term of affection, a term of endearment, a show of love. Mwalimu loved Afrika. Tanzania is one, if not the only, Afrikan nation that has an Afrikan language, Kiswahili, as a national language.
Most Afrikan nations use only a European language.
Mwalimu was a strong and original and creative leader of his country, and equally, a strong and original and creative thinker. Plain spoken, down to earth, powerful yet easily understandable ideas fill his works. When Afrika, in the future, is strong and united and socialist, and Black folk around the world have regained our proper place on the world stage as a world people, and the world as a whole is more at peace, Mwalimu will be remembered for his guidance and insight during these difficult days. For your vision. Thank you for your sacrifice.
