Nyerere would have been thrown out of East African Community over tie

A new law in the East African Community criminalizes anyone approaching the Arusha headquarters without wearing a tie, enforcing a European dress code. Mwalimu Nyerere, the founder of the EAC, who never wore a tie, would be barred from entering under this rule. The law promotes a European appearance, contradicting the community's original focus on local people. Historical figures like Nelson Mandela and Kenneth Kaunda would also be excluded for their dislike of European attire.
