First Gentleman of Tanzania or First Lady of Tanzania is the unofficial title held by the husband or wife of the president of Tanzania.[1] Until 19 March 2021, the office was held by women and thus referred to as First Lady. The country's present first gentleman is Hafidh Ameir.[2]
Present and former Tanzanian first ladies are often affectionately called "Mama" within the country.[3] In recent years, there has been public debate over the increasingly prominent role of the first ladies and gentlemen of Tanzania.[1] There have been calls for Parliament to formalize the office of the first lady and first gentleman of Tanzania.[1]
