Julius Kambarage Nyerere (13 April 1922 – 14 October 1999) was a Tanzanian statesman who served as the leader of Tanzania, and previously Tanganyika, from 1960 until his retirement in 1985.
Born in Tanganyika to Nyerere Burito (1860–1942), Chief of the Zanaki, Nyerere was known by the Swahili honorific Mwalimu or 'teacher', his profession prior to politics. He was also referred to as Baba wa Taifa (Father of the Nation). Nyerere received his higher education at Makerere University in Kampala and the University of Edinburgh. After he returned to Tanganyika, he worked as a teacher. In 1954, he helped form the Tanganyika African National Union.
When Tanganyika was granted responsible government in 1960, Nyerere became Chief Minister. He led Tanganyika to independence a year later and became the new country's first Prime Minister. The country became a republic in 1962, with Nyerere as the country's first president. During the first years, Nyerere created a One-party state and used "preventive detention" to eliminate trade unions and opposition political forces. In 1964, Tanganyika united politically with Zanzibar and was renamed Tanzania, with Nyerere as president of the unified country. He was the sole candidate for president in the unified country's first election, in 1965, and was reelected unopposed every five years until his retirement in 1985.
Brave, strong and with a zeal to help liberate other African countries that were still under the rule of the colonialists, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere the founding father of Tanzania stood as a great leader who chose the path less travelled by many. He challenged tyrannical leaders like Idi Amin and fought tirelessly for what he believed in, socialism.

The interviewer is thought to be a member of University of Edinburgh staff and the interview is thought to have taken place in the years shortly after Nyerere was elected Prime Minister of Tanganyika in 1961. Following the interview, there is some silent footage, presumed to have been taken in the vicinity. We know nothing more about this so would be interested in hearing from anyone who does. Copyright in this is assumed to rest with the University of Edinburgh. If you think different, please let us know.

7106/A: EAST AFRICA: INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT NYERERE The 1971 overthrow of President Milton Obote of Uganda in a military coup has caused upheaval on the East African political scene. The coup was greeted with rejoicing in Kampala, but the new leader, General Idi Amin, has so far received no diplomatic recognition for his regime. Obote has taken refuge in neighbouring Tanzania, where his cause is being strongly championed by President Julius Nyerere. We look at Ugandan developments, then move to a wide-ranging interview with President Nyerere, discussing not only Uganda but also the "arms for South Africa" controversy and the question of Chinese involvement in the construction of the multi-million pound Tan-Zam railway project.

In 1998, 14 years after Mwalimu Julius K.Nyerere the man who was naturally and inevitably an ally of African freedom fighters had become the first African head of state to step down voluntarily from Presidency, he appeared in an interview which reflected his journey as a head of state and as an advocate for the rights and justice of the African people. Mwalimu as is widely known voiced his criticism openly and plainly about the IMF and the role it plays in undermining rather than accelerating the efforts of African countries in developing themselves. Mwalimu said ''the IMF has abandoned the purposes for which it was founded'' This is historically true for in 1944 When the IMF was established,as Mwalimu plainly put it ' We were not there, Africa was not there' In actual fact the IMF was e...
This film is about the beatification of Julius K. Nyerere, a brief history of his life and political carrier, and how Tanzanians saw their founding father. With interviews not only by politician and professors but we tried to focus more on family and local residents so we could get a better understanding why Julius K. Nyerere an African politician was being beatified by the Roman Catholic Church.
