Biography

Mabala[11] was born in the United Kingdom. He moved to Tanzania in 1973 as a volunteer with the Voluntary Service Overseas. 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]
