    Julius Nyerere's Influence and Legacy
    (2011) Mesaki, Simeon; Malipula, Mrisho

Both the political and religious worlds have joined ranks to make sure that the former president of Tanzania is beatified, an intriguing event surrounded by controversy. This paper reports in detail the core values and contribution to Tanzania’s nation building efforts of this exceptional African statesman but questions his proposed candidacy for sainthood.
