A Zambezia seminar paper on race relations in South Africa in the 1970's era of minority rule. ; Historians do not solve social problems. Indeed it is even possible that they may have a sordid professional interest in keeping them unsolved. They prefer the society which in the Chinese proverb 'has been through interesting times', rather than the lucky country which has no history at all. More seriously I believe that the function of historians is to be not so much that of direct social analysis as that of helping people to reflect; and the objects of that reflection are the unique situations which give a faithful expression, voice or texture to the events we are trying to understand. The history of race relations in South Africa is an enormous area; so instead of trying to cover the whole of it let us look at a few representative and illuminating situations, beginning with the story of Eva.

The monograph reports activities related to cattle improvement in the British colonial territories in Africa. It consists of four parts. Part one presents the general background to the improvement of cattle in the territories describing ecological conditions, economic and social significance of cattle, environmental and animal husbandry conditions. Part two follows with discussions on methods adopted by colonial governments for the improvement of cattle. This part outlines the objectives of cattle improvement programmes; methods of improvement involving selection of indigenous stock and introduction of exotic breeds; adaptability of the indigenous breeds to various environmental conditions and the government stock farms and improvement centres. Part three details some general principles of cattle improvement in tropical Africa focusing on grading-up processes and their applicability in the field. Part four presents specific problems of cattle improvement in each of the colonial territories. There are pictographic illustrations throughout the book, appendices and bibliography at the end.

Western man has great pride in his political institutions, which with some justification he holds to be the first to recognize the rule of law as superior to the rule of men. Thus it was with great confidence in his laws and rectitude of his ways that the first Europeans occupied Africa. The impact of this invasion upon the indigenous populations of Africa was tremendous. Every facet of Africa life, its social, political, economic and legal systems were affected. A study of Bantu customary law has to depend largely on secondary material, because until recent times, the law of Bantu Africa was largely unwritten. A number of monographs has been written by anthropologists in the field, but few of them give more than a chapter to an examination of the laws and their power of sanction as exercised by the courts. Yet it is the courts that are the precursors of legislation, and ultimately, legislation is the province of the state. "it was the court really that launched the 'state' for it was in the court that the sentiment of etatism, with all its devotion and loyalties, was first nurtured."

Council of Ministers, Fifth Ordinary Session, Accra, October 1965 ; The preambles to the UN Convention and the OAU Draft Convention relating to the status of refugees in Africa are not identical in content though similar in aim or spirit since that of the OAU Draft Convention had to be formulated in such a way as to conform with the requirements of the OAU and the African political atmosphere.

Reasons for the Study The author's reasons for making this study are threefold. 1. There is a general deficiency of the protective values, especially animal protein, in the people's diet throughout West Africa. This deficiency becomes striking as one moves south to the Guinea Coast where conditions have long been unfavorable to livestock production, 2. There is a general lack of modern scientific practices in animal husbandry among farmers which makes what production there is inefficient. 3. Since 1957, almost all the countries of West Africa, formerly under colonial domination, have become independent. This means that the governments of these countries must plan their own economies whieh in the past were tied up In the economic policies of the Colonial Powers. Animal husbandry happened to be one of the phases of agriculture which lacked administrative emphasis as it could hardly have produced a profitable export commodity to the colonial countries which have a ready market for their animal products in West Africa. Purpose The purpose of the study is to work out a suggested program for Animal Husbandry which may be adaptable in part or in whole by private farmers as well as governments in improving beef production in West Africa. Facilities and Method for the Study In undertaking this study, an attempt was made to review the available literature on Animal Husbandry in West Africa in particular, tropical and sub-tropical countries in general, in order to find the practices that could be applicable or adaptable to West African conditions. In this respect, the experience of the cattlemen in the Southern States of the United States of America, particularly in Prairie View area, was drawn upon through personal contacts and interviews. The conditions in Waller County where Prairie View is situated, are similar for the most part of the year to those of the main cattle producing areas of West Africa. Secondly, the writer drew on his personal observations and experience in working with livesteekmen, notably Fulani tribesmen, the only cattlemen of any repute in West Africa, during his two and a half years' service in the Ghana Agricultural Service. The study covers the geographical area bounded by the latitudes 5°N. and 17°N. and about 15eW. and 15°B. longitudes. This essentially covers the following countries: 1. Former French countries: Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Togo, Dahome, and Cameroons with a sea board} and to the inland, Upper volta, Mali, and Niger, the later two bordering the Sahara Desert. 2. Former British countries J Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Gambia which is still in transition to independence at the time of this study; all have a sea board.
