Introduction
The aim of this collection of photos and articles is to recollect the life of
our migrant community in Lindi from pre-1940 till the present time. Apart from
recollection and reminiscence, efforts will be made to include current photos
and articles.
Whether you were born, lived or studied in Lindi; had parents/grandparents from
Lindi or are simply nostalgic about Lindi I would appreciate if you could
contribute by way of photos and articles. The whole of the Southern Province of
the 1950's which currently consists of Lindi, Mtwara and Ruvuma regions would be
included in our definition of ‘Lindi’
We wish to record history so that it is not lost. You may even submit articles
giving a recollection of your own past involving your childhood, your school or
working life. We hope you will be able to connect with friends and colleagues
found in the photographs carried in here. Hopefully, we will endeavour to trace
our ancestors' lives and times.
For those wishing to connect with friends and colleagues from Lindi and view
more photos, you may wish to join the
Lindi Tanzania group on Facebook.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mahmood Fazal who has given
me space on his website to post photographs and articles about Lindi. He has
spent a lot of his valuable time uploading photos and notes and has tolerated my
frequent requests for changes in content, format, etc. When I first found his
website in 2007 I was amazed at the historical records he had collected about
life in Zanzibar, his hometown. This prompted me to start looking for records
for Lindi and I must thank him for giving me this impetus.
I will appreciate if you can sign my

with your views and/or recollections.
