Central Africa's Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland proclaims "racial partnership" as its official policy, but unofficially the color bar is so rigid that Indian and Pakistani diplomats are continually turned away from movie theaters, liquor stores, hotels and restaurants-even when they are guests of whites.

...notables of the Thonga tribe coldly boycotted the Prime Minister's indaba (powwow). And at Mzimba, headquarters of 170,000 warlike Angonis, the sound of jungle drums rolled down from Mzimba's leopard-haunted mountains, as Mmbelwa II, paramount chief of the Angoni, said: "Your Honor, Nyasaland belongs to the Africans, not to you and your white...
