Chief Thomas Marealle II OBE

Chief Thomas Marealle II OBE was the Paramount Chief (Mangi Mkuu) of the Chagga people of Tanzania.

After winning an election, he was inaugurated as chief in January 1952. The government abolished the system of Chieftainships in 1961, although Marealle, anticipating this, had voluntarily left his post the previous year. After working for the United Nations in the field of foreign aid for thirteen years, he is now a retired diplomat.
