Return of The "prodigal Son"
It was not until 1992 after Tanzania adopted multiparty democracy that Kambona returned to lead one of the opposition parties after 25 years living in exile. He was the most prominent figure on the opposition side during that time after he returned to his home country.
And he was in a combative mood. Even before he left London, he challenged the Tanzanian government to arrest him on his arrival in Tanzania, vowing that he was returning to Tanzania regardless of consequences and to clear his name before the people of Tanzania . He was not arrested.
But that was not the end of his ordeal.

Began, the return to phantomerei, if not

At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”

And dainty is his repast;
But remember that luxury’s prodigal hand
Keeps the furnace of toil in blast.”
