What you need to know:

Tanzania of the 1960s was one filled with grand visions and ideas. This was exemplified by what Mwalimu Julius Nyerere framed as the task for the new government: “The question before the new nation, therefore, was not whether to change, but what kind of change it would have.

In other words, Tanzania of the 1960s was one filled with grand visions and ideas. This was exemplified by what Mwalimu Julius Nyerere framed as the task for the new government: “The question before the new nation, therefore, was not whether to change, but what kind of change it would have. The nation had to decide whether this change was to be deliberately chosen and implemented, or was to be merely a side effect of development elsewhere. In other words, one of the first issues which the newly independent people, through their Government, had to settle, was whether to use their acquired decision-making power to initiate, lead and control changes in the society. The alternative was to remain fairly passive while the society absorbed changes initiated from outside, like a sponge absorbing water.”
