Zanzibar mourns the advocate of three-tier system of government
The struggle for a new system forced Aboud Jumbe Mwinyi to resign as Zanzibar president in 1984. He died on August 14, 2016, aged 96, at his home. ILLUSTRATION | JOHN NYAGAH |
The death of former Zanzibar president Aboud Jumbe Mwinyi comes at a time when the Isles is in a political dilemma akin to the one that forced him to step down from the high office in 1984.
Jumbe stepped down during the CCM’s national executive committee meeting in Dodoma after he had tried to alter the two-states Union structure.
