Karimjee Hall has witnessed some of the most important historical events since independence. On 26th April 1964, it hosted the official meeting between Mwalimu Julius Nyerere and Abeid Amani Karume, exchanging the official documents, which manifested the political union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar – the birth moment of Tanzania.

One year earlier, Nyerere, then President of newly independent Tanganyika and enthusiastic Pan-Africanist, wrote in The Journal of Modern African Studies of Cambridge University: ”There is one sense in which African Unity already exists. There is a huge sentiment of ‘Africanness', or a feeling of mutual involvement, which pervades all the political and cultural life on the African continent…”.

Next year, in 2024, we’ll celebrate Tanzania’s 60th birthday!
