Imports inclusive of railway material and specie amount to £222,681, or £1,884 more than during the previous year. In general revenue-yielding imports for home consumption BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA PROTECTORATE, 1905-6. 5 the increase is £41,557. Tke value of railway material imported has dropped from 4269,684 to £32,569. The principal increase in imports is in soft goods, which exceed the previous year's total by £30,840. General details are shewn in Table II., Annex I. EXPORTS. 6. Excluding specie, value £2,000, exported during the previous financial year, the export trade has increased by £10,329; the principal increases being in cotton, £10,238; ground-nut?, £999; tobacco, £2,370; Strophantus, £5,675; beeswax, £3,237. There is a decrease in coffee of £11,037; chillies, £985. (See Xible III., Annex 1.) COMPARATIVE TABLE, IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

There is u substantial increase in the amount of goods passing through the British Central Africa Protectorate in transit—the total value exceeding that of the previous year by £22,447. The bulk of the imports ^ transit went to the Congo Free State and North-Eastern Rhodesia. Exports in transit consisted chiefly of ivory and rubber, in whioh articles the trade is always variable. &,441 lbs. of copper ore from Katanga (Congo Free State) passed through during the year. Table IT., Annex 1, gives a comparative statement showing the volume of transit trade for the past five years. 6 COLONIAL BBPORT8—ANNUAL. DIRECTION OF TRADE. 8. The direction of the Protectorate's trade is shown in Table V., Annex 1. III.—SHIPPING. 9. The Protectorate has suffered irom another season of scanty rainfall, the result being that the Shire* River, which is the means of communication with the East African Coast, has been unnavigable for a considerable portion of the year under review. The transport of goods to and from the Pro­ tectorate has been in consequence greatly hampered. The railway between Port Herald and Chiromo has been running during the {peater part of the year and has assisted to some extent in relieving the congestion. The number of vessels on the Chiromo register of shipping is 160, being an increase of 11, made up as follows: — Steamers, 19; barges or lighters, 111; cargo-boats, 20. IV.—AGRICULTURE. Corns. 10. Coffee has always been in British Central Africa a fluctuating export, the climatic conditions vary so much from year to year that it is impossible to form any opinion before­ hand as to how the crop may turn out. The total crop exported from the 1st April, 1906, to the 81st March, 1906, was 773,919 lbs., valued at £16,123. This is a decrease of 629,736 lbs. as compared with the previous year. Prices have been at about the same level as last year. There is a general expectation however, that prices are likely to rise, and the acreage under cultivation will be slightly extended. The following table shows (1) the acreage under cultivation, and the production and values from the year 1894 to the present date, and (2) ths present acreage, and estimated production from this season's crop. These estimates are based on figures supplied by planters, and are only approximate.

Pail of this crop was sold on the London market for 47*. per cwt. The quality of the bean was normal. This is the third crop taken from the plantation, and appears to have somewhat exhausted the trees, with the result that they are now carrying only a small crop, estimated at a few hundredweight only. 6 COLOKIAL RBPORT8—AMMUAL.

  • Nyasa Clandestine Migration Through Southern Rhodesia Into the Union of South Africa: 1920S – 1950S
    Settling in Motion: Nyasa Clandestine Migration through Southern Rhodesia into the Union of South Africa: 1920s – 1950s Anusa Daimon Centre for Africa Studies University of the Free State Bloemfontein, South Africa Abstract Illegal African migration into South Africa is not uniquely a post-apartheid phenomenon. It has its antecedents in the colonial/apartheid period. The South Africa colonial economy relied heavily on cheap African labour from both within and outside the Union. Most foreign migrant labourers came from the then Nyasaland (Malawi) and Portuguese East Africa (Mozambique) through official channels of the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association (WNLA). WNLA was active throughout the Southern Africa and competed for the same labour resource with other regional supranational ‘native’ labour recruitment agencies, providing various incentives to lure and transport potential employees to its bustling South African gold and diamond mining industry. However, not all migrant labourers found their way through formal WNLA channels. Using archival material from repositories in Harare (Zimbabwe), Zomba (Malawi), Grahamstown (South Africa), London and Oxford (UK), the article casts light on illicit migration mainly by Malawian labourers (Nyasas) through Southern Rhodesia into South Africa between the 1920s and 1950s. It argues that many transient Nyasas subverted the inhibitive WNLA contractual obligations by clandestinely migrating independently into the Union. They also exploited the labour recruitment infrastructure used by the state and labour bureaus to swiftly move across Southern Rhodesia. In essence, Nyasas settled in motion, using Southern Rhodesia as a stepping-stone or springboard en-route to the more lucrative Union of South Africa. An appreciation of such informal migration opens up space for creating a more comprehensive historiography of labour migration in Southern Africa.

  • Malawi Chapter 1
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Geography, History and the Economy Geography Malawi is a landlocked country bordered to the north and northeast by the United Republic of Tanzania, to the east, south and southwest by the People's Republic of Mozambique and to the west by the Republic of Zambia. It is 901 kilometres long and ranges in width from 80 to 161 kilometres. The country has a total area of 118,484 square kilometres, of which 94,276 square kilometres is land area. Fifty-six percent of the land area is arable. Malawi's most striking topographic feature is the Rift Valley which runs through the entire length of the country, passing through Lake Malawi in the northem and central part of the country to the Shire Valley in the south. To the west and south of the lake are fertile plains and high mountain ranges whose main peaks range from 1,698 to 3,002 metres. The country is divided into three administrative regions; Northern, Central and Southern. There are twenty-four districts, five in the Northern Region, nine in the Central Region and ten in the Southern Region. In each district there are Traditional Authorities (or chiefs) and the smallest administrative unit is the village. There are 43 Traditional Authorities in the Northcrn Region, 79 in the Central Region and 83 in the Southern Region. Malawi experiences a tropical continental climate with some maritime influences. Rainfall and temperature are greatly influenced by the lake and altitude, which varies from 37 to 3,050 meters above sea level.

COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL. No. 1162. NYASALAND. ANNUAL GENERAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1922.* GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL. BOUNDARIES. The territory comprised in the Nyasaland Protectorate is a strip about 520 miles in length and varying from 50 to 100 miles in width. It lies approximately between latitude S. 9° 45', and 17° 16', and longitude E. 33° and 36°. The area is roughly 40,000 square miles, or about one-third the area of the British Ioles. The most southerly portion of the Protectorate is about 130 miles from the sea as the crow flies. This strip falls naturally into two divisions: (1) consisting of the western shore of Lake Nyasa, with the high tablelands separating it from the basin of the Loangwa river in Northern Rhodesia, and (2) the region lying between the watershed of the Zambesi river and Shire river on the west, and the Lakes Chiuta and Chilwa and the river Ruo, an affluent of the Shire, on the east, including the mountain systems of the Shire Highlands and Mlanje, and a small portion, also mountainous, of the south-eastern coast of Lake Nyasa.

  • Agricultural Change in Nyasaland: 1945-1960 235
    R. W. KETTLEWELL* AGRICULTURAL CHANGE IN NYASALAND: 1945-196ot:t: INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY The fifteen postwar years in Nyasaland, 1945-60, represent a well-defined period covering in the main the final phase of the colonial govern­ ment's preparation of the Protectorate for assumption of full responsibility for its own affairs. It was a period in which the importance of agriculture to the econ­ omy of the country and the livelihood of its people was recognized, and a deter­ mined attempt made to develop it. These were formative years of great signifi­ cance. Progress in the first part of the period was somewhat inhibited by the inevitable difficulties of getting under way after the war: there were shortages of experienced personnel, equipment, and fertilizer. And after a peak of achieve­ ment, there came some deceleration of development towards the end of the period owing to increasing preoccupation with political affairs. Much of the following account of postwar events is necessarily framed in general terms, for accurate definition and measurement of progress, particularly as it concerns African farmers, was frequently impossible. Detailed data could not be obtained: there is intrinsic difficulty in eliciting this kind of information, and the government field staff was preoccupied with advisory and other duties. Nevertheless a reasonably accurate picture of agricultural change can be given. The form and sequence of this record reflect the nature of Nyasaland's post­ war development. After brief introductory descriptions of the physical, demo­ graphic, and historical background there is an outline of government policy and other factors that influenced change, followed by an account of the changes them­ selves set in relation to policy.

  • British Community Development in Central Africa, 1945-55
    School of History University of New South Wales Equivocal Empire: British Community Development in Central Africa, 1945-55 Daniel Kark A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of New South Wales, Australia 2008 ORIGINALITY STATEMENT ‘I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis.

Date …………………………………………….............. For my parents, Vanessa and Adrian. For what you forfeited. Abstract This thesis resituates the Community Development programme as the key social intervention attempted by the British Colonial Office in Africa in the late 1940s and early 1950s. A preference for planning, growing confidence in metropolitan intervention, and the gradualist determination of Fabian socialist politicians and experts resulted in a programme that stressed modernity, progressive individualism, initiative, cooperative communities and a new type of responsible citizenship. Eventual self-rule would be well-served by this new contract between colonial administrations and African citizens.
