There is a pincer movement closing in centers of learning. In primary schools that unfortunate Bantu Education Act Arrived! Masses of parents, under the banner of the African National Congress, particularly on the Reef, went on boycott from the fatal day of April 1 by withdrawing their children from schools. And the Government's reply? Numbers of children who did not turn up for school by and on 25 April have been banned from schooling anywhere in the Union. As a result, of a total number of 6,948 pupils coming under this ban, 116 teachers in all have been served with a month's notice to leave school. The school, going population outside school has thus increased immensely. Banned pupils, sacked teachers, half-empty schools. (Photograph by Peter Magubane BAHA) Josias Madzunya

Title: Shanty Town in Kempton Park
Path: african.pictures / The Media Bank / Izak de Vries
Description: These shacks are in Kempton Park, Gauteng. The history of the squatter movement in Gauteng is well-documented. In the homelands, or Bantustans, there were not enough jobs and not enough land. People had to move to the city. During the period around the Second World War, the black urban population of South Africa nearly doubled. Huge areas of informal settlement grew around Johannesburg and, to a lesser extent, other major cities. One of the most famous leaders in the Squatter Movement, was James Mpanza. In defiance of the laws forcing Black people out of "white" areas, Mpanza and other leaders urged their followers to set up informal settlements. They provided hessian for shanties, employed a camp police force, controlled trading rights and charged the inhabitants levies to pay for services. The government could no longer deny the need for black settlements and eventually the central government and the Johannesburg City Council began setting up emergency camps. Today township dwellers

Description: NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:RELIGION:NOV 1958 The Strength And Influence Of Islam On West Africa Kneeling In Prayer: All over West Africa devout Muslims turn to Mecca, kneel down and chant their prayers to Allah. It is difficult to be precise about the number of Muslims in West Africa, since in most territories religious statistics are not recorded in the census. The vast majority of the population of Northern Nigeria is Muslim, though some pagan tribes have survived, especially in the Middle Belt. In the predominantly Yoruba Western Region of Nigeria, conversion to Islam is taking place rapidly, and it is estimated that in some of the big towns, like Ibadan, between 50 and 60 per cent of the population is already Muslim.

Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu led Biafra into secession on May 30, 1967, and was promptly dismissed from the Nigerian army. The answer lies right back at the beginning. One of the points that is often forgotten is that Northern Nigeria was one of the few places in Africa that was not especially keen on independence. The North was accused by the South of secretly counseling delaying tactics to Britain. Nigeria was simply not sufficiently united for the great plunge. It was a country with the largest population in all Africa 56 million six times bigger than Ghana. In area, Nigeria was one of the largest of African countries covering everything from sandy deserts in the North to tropical rain forests in the South. What is more, it contained more than 200 different ethnic groups.(Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
