  • The Tank Hill Party”: Generational Politics and Decolonisation in East Africa
    Edgar Taylor, WISER seminar, 24 April 2017 Draft: please do not cite or circulate without author’s permission “The Tank Hill Party”: Generational Politics and Decolonisation in East Africa Edgar Taylor, CISA, Wits In November 1963, five young single white men – all British citizens aged between 23 and 32 – met at the Kampala Sports Club to plan a party for December 11th, the eve of neighbouring Kenya’s independence. They drafted an elaborate invitation card that read: “We the League of Ex-Empire Loyalists do request and require your presence, at a bottle Colonial Sundown on Wednesday December 11th, commencing at 9.00 p.m. to celebrate The End of the White Man’s Burden.” The dress code would be in the style of the iconic colonial apologia film, “Sanders of the River.” The location was to be “the neo- colonial style residence” of a British insurance salesman “(by his reluctant consent) on the quarry road, Tank Hill.” Guests were instructed to “R.S.V.P. by native bearer in cleft stick or tom-tom” or to “send a shrunken head” to any of the five men, who gave their home and office phone numbers alongside nicknames such as “Gin-sling”, “Let-them- eat-cake”, and “Churra Sahib.” The men arranged for a printing company to produce several hundred cards, in a hodgepodge of ornate fonts on fancy paper, which they then distributed to select friends and acquaintances. By all accounts, the party attracted between 150 and 200 Europeans, many of whom carried on in drunken merriment until 6 o’clock the following morning.1 Over the next three weeks, “the Tank Hill Party” would become the focus of visceral debates over the integrity of African sovereignty, the future of British presence on the continent, and the basis of postcolonial racial and generational hierarchies.
