This is the white lie that had been built by the missionaries and after the revolution and Union of 1964. And now propagated by the ultra conservetives of CCM Zanzibar and being helped by people like you.
Why the so called historians does not tell you that the first church in Africa was built in Zanzibar on the land at Mbweni and allocated by the Sultan himself. The Anglican Church at Mkunazini is the same story and some of it was leased from a well known Arab family this where the St. Monica hospital and church's school. Why they dont say the truth that even the clock and the bell on the minaret was contributed by the Sultan himself?
They are telling lies to tourist that the cellar below the St. Monica hospital was used to keep slaves to replenish them before put on sale while the hospital itself was built long after the slave trade had been abolished and that cellar was used to cool the medicines ised during the great epidemics of plague and smallpox.
Reference to this statement above is a lady in Adelaide, Australia called Anne Chapel Smithyman the daughter of Mr. Mervin Smythiman the then ADC to the Sultan.
The hate for Jemshid was imposed on the populace by the so called Protectors (The British) because Jamshid did two grave mistakes:
1) Agreeing with ZNP to fight for Independence.
2) Whe wrote a letter to HM the Queen to ask justice for his father's sudden death because he believes tha his father did not die due to diabetes but foul play. His father was against the british hegemony in EA.
For your information during the Lancaster house independence conference it is on the records that ASP asked for a copycat UK style govt and paliamentary system and that Sultan will be the constitutional.monarch and that him and his family will be protected for ever. While ZNP under the influence of Gamal Abdelnasser socialist ideology the way they ousted King Farouk.
