Jeremiah Kasambala was one of the first ministers in the cabinet of Julius Nyerere after Tanganyika (now part of Tanzania) won independence from Britain on 9 December 1961. He rose to prominence when he was the head of the Rungwe African Cooperative Union in Rungwe District in the Southern Highlands Province.[1][2]
The Rungwe African Cooperative Union Ltd, successor to the Mwakaleli Coffee Growers Cooperative Society was one of the largest farmers' unions in the country.[3] Like the other agricultural cooperatives, it played a major role in mobilising its members and other people in the 1950s to support the struggle for independence which was led by the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU).[4][5][6]
TANU was the largest political party in the country. It was formed in Dar es Salaam, the colonial capital of Tanganyika, on 7 July 1954. Nyerere was elected president of TANU.
During the sixties, Kasambala served in different capacities in the government under President Nyerere, including being minister of trade and cooperatives, a portfolio that reflected his background as a leader of the cooperative union in Rungwe District; and minister of industries, minerals and energy among other posts.[7][8][9]
