Public Holiday: Nyerere Day


Today is a public holiday in Tanzania: Nyerere Day. This day commemorates the death of Tanzania's first president, Julius Nyerere. He died 11 years ago on this day and throughout the country Tanzanians are spending the day reflecting on the lessons of Nyerere.

If you walk into almost any building in Tanzania there will most likely be a photo of the current president, Kikwete and a photo of Nyerere. Tanzanians honor Nyerere for uniting the country and bringing prosperity and peace to the region.
