Hi Gabe n Mervyn Thanx Gabe for another "flash" of 1966 nostalgia. Since we had no TV in Tanzanian Mainland, coupled with the fact that we could not get proper radio transmission upcountry , I had to rely on the BBC to get World Cup Updates from my hometown in southern Tanzania.
By the same token, I could not get a chance to see Reita Faria when she visited Tanzania and Kenya the following year-(with her mother as her champerone)-as I was studying in the Lake Victoria port of Mwanza in north-west Tanzania.( Note how she spells her name). You did mention my teacher in Dar es Salaam - the late Amorito Nazareth who was the President of the GOA when I first visited London in 1974. Amorito- whose family hails from Tabora in western Tanzania- was one of the first goans from East Africa to migrate to the West in 1961 after Britain granted independence to their four East African territories and colony in the early to mid-sixties. (Tabora is where Tanzania's first President and world statesman- Julius Nyerere completed his high school and later taught before entering politics). rgds.
