Kleist Sykes (1894–1949) was a Tanganyikan political activist. He helped form the Tanganyika African Association. Sykes was born in Pangani, Tanga Region, to father Sykes Mbuwane, a Zulu mercenary hired by the German Empire, and a Nyaturu mother. After his father died, Sykes moved with his godfather, Effendi Plantan, to Dar Es Salaam, and would later fight for the Germans in the First World War. Sykes was the first African to join the Tanganyika Chamber of Commerce, and the second African to serve in colonial Dar es Salaam's Municipal Council.
