This small island, a few kilometers west of Zanzibar town has a horrible
history. Safely away from Unguja and yet always within view of Zanzibar town,
it was first used by an Arab slave merchant to detain recalcitrant slaves. In
the 1890s a General Matthews bought the island and built what be intended as
the prison for Zanzibar. The building was, however, never used as such.
Later, it became a quarantine station for Zanzibar, Kenya, Uganda and then
Tanganyika.
