Majadiliano:Ikulu ya Tanzania

Ikulu (state house) of Tanzania was not built by Germany.

The word Mzizima was changed to Dar es Salaam by Sayyid Majid bin Said Al Busaidi who was a ruler (Sultan) from 1834 to 1870 who purchased part of the coastal fishing village to build a new city and named it Dar Es Salaam (House of peace) as part of commerce development. He built some government building including today government Ikulu or Palace (the State House) with Arabian architecture which is used today as an official residence of Tanzania President. The Ikulu facility was founded or built by Sayyid Majid in 1865 as an Islamic institute with its facilities including, boarding, Mosque, garden, and he brought scholars and students from different places to teach and learn Islam. During German force occupation of Tanganyika this facility was occupied by Germany force and used as their headquarter.
