Oscar Kambona

Oscar Salathiel Kambona (13 August 1928 – 3 June 1997[1][2]) was the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tanganyika from 1963 to 1966.

He received his elementary school education at home taught by his parents and uncle, all of whom were teachers.

Kambona was opposed to this fundamental change and argued that the government should first launch a pilot scheme to see if the policy was going to work on a national scale.

[citation needed] Tony Laurence states in his book The Dar Mutiny of 1964, published by Book Guild Publishing, that, fearing for his life, Kambona went to live in exile in Great Britain with no financial support and took a number of low-paying jobs to support himself and his family.

[citation needed] The book covers extensively the 1970 treason trial in which Oscar Kambona was implicated as the ring leader.
