Whenever there are anniversaries of the opening of TAZARA\u2026, we must keep the memory alive among our people. That\u2019s one thing we have to do,\u201d Expounding further, he said the request to Chairman Mao Zedong to build TAZARA was made by the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, the father of the nation and Dr Kenneth Kaunda, the former President of the Republic of Zambia, at the height of the cold war.<\/p>\n<p>He said it was made at a time when there existed the myth that the settler regimes in Southern Africa would last forever, and as such Zambia would have no outlet to the sea.<\/p>\n<p>China offered at a time when every effort was being made to stifle the project.<\/p>\n<p>This is the extent, in one part, to which China was ready to support the struggles of the people of Africa for economic, social and political development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: MINISTER for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Prof Palamagamba Kabudi has commended the decision by\u00a0 \u00a0government of compiling a special Swahili book that enhances public diplomacy between Tanzania and China.
