Drum Social Histories Description: DM2001082002:GCP:SOCIAL:3AUG1958 - Mamathola, This Once Rich Tribe - We Must Leave Metz. The Native reserve of Metz at the foothills of the Magaliesburg. For 200 years the 1,200 families of the Mamathola have been called one of the richest tribes in the country: but that is a thing of the past. Today after a long peaceful existence, they face the danger of becoming a wondering tribe. Knowledgable farmers who once owned acres upon acres of orchards, and old men who were expert farmers in their day, had all the same story to tell me. The tribe was moved from their ancestral land in the lush Letsitele valley in the Wolkberg Mountains. Story by Obed Musi.

Drum Social Histories Description: DM2008103112:SAED:SOCIAL:PERSONALITIES:FEB 1970 - They All Gape As Dandy Banda Goes On Parade - For Frank, a chef from upper-class Lower Houghton, not only sports a Russian type felt hat (adorned with a badge of Dr. Hastings Banda, Malawi's President), but he has a bearing that would make a Grenadier Guardsman's eyes pop. Frank, who is on a working visit to South Africa from his home on the shores of Lake Malawi, never walks anywhere. He marches...to work, to home, everywhere. He does beautiful right-angle turns at every corner and carries a shooting stick (you don't fire it, you sit on it) in approved military fashion.

Drum Social Histories Description: DM20041020021:SAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITY:MAY1959 - Banned Chief Luthuli, shut on his farm, says that there's Freedom In The Air - Chief Luthuli and Oliver Tambo at Johannesburg Station, before his banning in May 1959. There were more policemen waiting for him at Germiston, where Luthuli climbed out to greet his friend Oliver Tambo. They followed him to Tambo's house, where Luthuli slept. Next day was Saturday, the day for Luthuli to come to Johannesburg. More police at Germiston station. More police and a thousand people waiting on the platform at Johannesburg. These people were not there as an organised greeting. They had come by chance in case Luthuli arrived.
