Dar es Salaam. Landing at Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dr Shabaan Fundi, a native of Tabora, had to get in the queue at the immigration desk to get a visa to get into Tanzania. His kids looked astonished. “Dad, I thought you said you were born here. Is this your country?” they queried.
So many natives of Tanzania who took another country’s citizenship have faced what Dr Fundi did—what he termed a confusing endeavour that he had to explain to his American-born children.
