Mustafa Jaffer Sabodo was born in
Lindi,
Tanganyika (now Tanzania) to parents of Indian descent. In 2003, he offered to finance the growing of
pulse for export to the tune of
TSh 100 million. The
Mwalimu Nyerere Foundation National Lottery was the brainchild of Sabodo, who donated
TSh 800 million towards a project that established the lottery. Sabodo died in Masaki, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on 23 March 2024, at the age of 81. ==References==
