What a gratifying experience since I vividly remember and in fact was also involved in this project during its construction and the opening in 1967 in my capacity as Education Secretary with the Aga Khan Department of Education for Tanzania (now Aga Khan Education Services Tanzania).
A few years ago a reunion of Students from Mzizima was held in Toronto and I had the opportunity to attend and also provide the background to this project.
Thousands of students have gone through their secondary education in this fine school and they include my sister Nasim and my brother Mohamed.
