The narratives become more complete by involving a group of young people who were groomed through the National Convention for Construction and Reform (NCCR) before 1992, which resulted from a symposium held on June 11 and 12 in 1991 in Dar es Salaam with the aim of mobilising citizens about the importance of making political reforms.
Sweat and blood
Mr Anthony Komu was among the young people under 30 who were at the forefront of the establishment of a special youth desk under the committee with the aim of mobilising young people at the university level to join the reforms.
“It was not easy, I remember the platforms were universities, especially the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), where there were debates that hinted on the direction of the world, the enthusiasm of young people at the Hill was high,” says Komu who was among those youth who played key roles in the reform at college and university levels.
