It would be an exaggeration to state that Julius Nyerere is one of the forgotten moral leaders of Africa. For Tanzanians, for those on the left who had their political epiphanies in the 1960s (as well as for those who criticized his economic policies) and for those who have studied Tanzanian history and politics, he remains a deeply influential and charismatic figure.
