[TD]In 1974 President Julius Nyerere granted the responsibility of recording the history of TANU to Kivukoni Ideological College. Kivukoni College was established in the tradition of Ruskin College of Britain. Kivukoni was and still is a training centre for propaganda and mass indoctrination for party cadres. Kivukoni, therefore, was unsuitable for any serious research work. In 1976, at the 16 th TANU conference, Nyerere again insisted on having an official history of the Party. Official histories always have failed in objectivity as observed by Maslov:

[TD]"Depersonification of the past is yet another drawback of the literature dealing with the history of the CPSU. In textbooks and research papers, historic personalities are as a rule, just inserted in the general ‘list' and some are not mentioned at all. "[1] [/TD]

[TD]In 1985, President Nyerere, while conferring an honorary degree on Basil Davidson, challenged the University of Dar es Salaam to write a correct history of Tanzania. In 1988, while commemorating thirty years of the Tabora Declaration, Nyerere in reference to early TANU members and as a tribute to them Nyerere asked the Party to take stock of those who joined TANU between 1954 and 1958. Nyerere said: "That was the most trying period in the history of our Party and few people were courageous enough to join and work for the Party." [2]

[TD]In supporting Nyerere for his recent call and taking up the challenge to record a correct history which he had for the first advanced in 1974 and again in 1985 the present author published an article in African Events [3] in which Abdulwahid and other forgotten TANU pioneers received prominence. In that article the author did what no other scholar had done before. He mentioned the fact that Muslims were in the forefront during the struggle for independence. It was at that time taboo to associate Islam or Muslims with the independence movement. The author received sharp rebuke from a Party historian, Dr Mayanja Kiwanuka, a leading member of the panel which wrote the Party book Historia ya Chama Cha TANU 1954-1977, the official history of the Party.
