Oscar Kambona - Return of The "prodigal Son"

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.

    I’m a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.
    William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    I borrowed today out of the Advocate’s Library, David Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature, but found it so abstruse, so contrary to sound sense and reason, and so drearying its effects on the mind, if it had any, that I resolved to return it without reading it.

    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    I’m a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.
    William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.
