FN,Tanganyika was not a colony. It was administered by the British for the UN and the British knew they would have to leave someday.
I read a lot about anti-colonialism in the local papers in the 1970s but do not remember reading any negative article about Turnbull. Prior to independence and even a few years later, there used to be charity fund raisers held at the State House, Dar. Adults could wander in the grounds and kids could go on guided tours inside. Nyerere’s home in Dar had just one policeman guarding it while he was President. Then he retired. The presidents who had large number of guards, died in office. Some of natural causes.
