Hamza Njozi

Prof. Hamza Njozi is a prominent Tanzanian academic and advocate for religious freedom, known for his role in challenging the National Muslim Council of Tanzania (Bakwata)'s authority. He was a key petitioner in a recent High Court ruling that declared Bakwata is not the supreme authority for Muslims in Tanzania, arguing that the requirement for Muslim organizations to seek its endorsement for registration violated constitutional rights to freedom of religion and association.
