The Structure, Composition and Jurisdiction of Courts and Authorities Enforcing the Criminal law in British African Territories

THE object of this article is to give a generalised but accurate picture of the machinery of law enforcement in those African territories which are or have until recently been under British rule. The method that has been used is to compare the legal systems of nine selected territories, obtaining an historical as well as a comparative perspective by selecting territories at differing stages of development. The territories selected comprise the three East African territories of Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika; the three components of the Central African Federation, Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland; and three West African countries, Ghana, Sierra Leone and the Eastern Region of Nigeria. Since 1954 Nigeria has been a federation with an independent court system in each Region. The territories discussed thus cover a wide field geographically, while politically they range from Sierra Leone, a most backward colony, to Ghana, a State independent within the Commonwealth. As will be seen, the tempos of legal and political development are closely linked. All these territories with the exception of Sierra Leone have codified their substantive criminal law.2 All have codes of criminal

Lourenco Marques in Delagoa Bay

LOURENGO MARQUES has long been an important outlet for Southern Mozambique and one of the major gateways for the great mineral and industrial area of the Transvaal in the Union of South Africa. In August, 1955, the Pafuri Link or Limpopo Railway was completed, tying the port with the rapidly developing but landlocked areas of Northern and Southern Rhodesia and with the adjacent realm of Union Miniere du Haut Katanga in the southeastern Belgian Katanga. Beira in Central Mozambique previously handled 80 per cent of the total overseas trade of the Central African Federation, but congestion at that port and on its feeder rail lines made it necessary to secure a new outlet and the choice fell on Delagoa Bay.' Connected with several of the most vigorous economic regions of the continent (Fior 1 ) Lnrencn Marnies promises to achieve even greater significance as one of the outstanding African ports. An analysis of the harbor and port of Lourengo Marques and of its relations with the tributary areas is important in assessing the long-range transport programs of the Rhodesias, the Union, and Mozambique.

The Concept of Partnership in the Central African Federation

The tide of events is increasingly pushing away those stereotypes which depict Africa as a continent of passive, ignorant men and of primitive socio-political organization. “Host to a variety of social, economic, and intellectual stimuli, Africa finds its destiny directed into new and uneasy patterns,” one student has observed. “Such a process is a challenge to Western political practice and belief. Can the content and structures of democratic popular government serve as a medium of reintegration for the many peoples of Africa as they seek to modify their activities and their aspirations in the light of modern practice?”

Migrant Labor in Southern Rhodesia

S INCE World War II, Southem Rhodesia has been undergoing an economic revolution. Throughout its previous history, gold mining had remained the basis of its economy, but in the postwar years this has been overshadowed by an agricultural expansion that has brought new wealth to the Colony. Still more significant have been the postwar rise of secondary industry and the striking growth of industrial centers. Since 1945 the European population has nearly doubled; for immigration has been at a rate exceeding i per cent of the population a month a rate probably unparalleled in the history of the British Commonwealth.' Expansion has been greatest in the twin cities of Salisbury and Bulawayo, now overcrowded with more than half the Colony's white population. Within a decade Southern Rhodesia will almost certainly become the industrial hub of Central Africa. A disquieting feature of this expansion, in industry and agriculture alike, is its dependence on migrant African labor. Southern Rhodesia at present employs about half a million Africans, of whom half are indigenous and half are migrants from neighboring territories. Alien migrants include Africans from Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia to the extent of one-quarter and one-sixth respectively of their able-bodied male populations-evidence, incidentally, of the economic iinterdependence, as well as of the human interrelationships, of the territories comprising the Central African Federation. These migrants constitute nearly two-thirds of all African emigrants from the two northern territories. In addition, Southern Rhodesia employs about one-tenth of all African emigrants from Mozambique. Yet, except for the Mozambique flow, interterritorial migration is waning. Increasingly, labor migration, hitherto regarded by most African
