Mandela arrives in Dar es Salaam

Mandela arrived in Dar es Salaam to seek support for the armed struggle. Tanzania had recently achieved independence, and its capital was becoming a hub for liberation movements and cross-border political exchange. His itinerary depended on hosts, organizers, and diplomatic networks across Africa. A digitized page from the South African court’s 1962 travel diary provides a contemporary record of his journey; the scan is dedicated under CC0.
