Mr K.L Jhaveri advocate of Asian African harmony died

Mr K.L Jhaveri died at the ripe old age of 92+, having left a distinguished record of public service in Tanzania.  A few years ago, he wrote `Marching with Nyerere: Africanisation of Asians`, in which he recounted how he joined the struggle for Tanganyika`s independence by aligning himself with Julius Nyerere and became a political activist and social reformer. He was born in India, and after his studies at Bombay University, came to Tanzania in 1948, where he practiced as a respected advocate.  He first became a member of Tanganyika`s Legco in 1959 and then served as an elected MP for Dar es Salaam from 1960 to 1965, and twice served as President of Tanganyika Law Society. He served as its President for fifteen years.  It was clear that he had within a very short time earned the respect and admiration of all those who came into contact with him.
