Salum Abdallah after independence and before his death in 1965 was to compose songs praising Nyerere with messages of mobilising the people for nation building. Not a statue or a anything to remember this great band leader can be seen in his home town Morogoro where in 1947 he had set up his famous band – Cuban Marimba Chacha Band. But veterans of the struggle whenever they hear his music those tunes take them back through memory lane to the days of the struggle and to the early years of independence. There were also the propagandists who overtly and covertly spread the word both in print and in songs against the government like the Bantu group and its prominent members Athmani Issa who was the chairman and Hamisi Barika secretary, other prominent members were Rashid Sisso [56] and Juma ‘’Mlevi,’’ Suleiman. Bantu group was the responsible for providing security to Nyerere.
Waingereza hawakuwacha kuuhusisha uasi wa jeshi la Tanganyika na mchango wa Oscar Kambona ambaye wakati huo alikuwa ni Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ulinzi. Walimuandikiya makala kwenye ukurasa wa nyuma wa gazeti la Daily Telegraph la tarehe 22 Januari 1964 ambayo ilimuudhi sana Kambona. Balozi wa Kiiengereza aliyekuwepo Dar es Salaam alielezeya kwenye barua yake aliyompelekea Bwana W.G. Lamarque wa Commonwealth Relations Office, Downing Street, London, kuwa “Stephen Miles alipokutana na Rais [Nyerere] wiki iliyopita waligusiya kuwa Kambona alikuwa kiongozi wa uasi wa kijeshi, na Rais, kama unavyojuwa, alimwambiya Oscar kuwa ‘Masikini Oscar, maisha yeye ndiye mwenye kulaumiwa.’ Kwa kusema kweli, Oscar alikasirishwa sana alipozisikiya habari hizo na akaanguwa kilio na ikabidi apewe siku moja nzima ya mapumziko.”15
