He was one of the first five British volunteers to be allowed into the country after Tanzania broke off diplomatic relations with Britain over the independence of Zimbabwe and became a Tanzanian citizen[12] in 1982 after giving up his passport[13] to become an official Tanzanian. He also served as a professor[14] at the university of Dar es Salaam.[15] [16]
Mabala is currently (as at April 2024) Tanzania Chairperson of the Asante Africa Foundation a non-profit organisation that works with youth in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.[17]
