Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Albert Chalamila on May 13, 2025, led mourners in paying their final respects to the late Charles Hilary, former Director of Presidential Communications and Chief Government Spokesperson for the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar. The farewell ceremony was held in Dar es Salaam.
The solemn service took place at St. Bartholomew Anglican Church in the Ubungo Diocese, where RC Chalamila also spearheaded a special fundraising initiative to support the completion of the church's construction.
The contribution served as both an offering and a tribute to the late Hilary, who was widely known for his deep commitment and service to the church during his lifetime.
The ceremony was attended by senior government officials, ambassadors, representatives from various institutions, members of the media, and other notable figures who gathered to honor Hilary’s legacy and service.
Following the farewell in Dar es Salaam, the body of Charles Hilary is scheduled to be transported to Zanzibar later today for burial.
