First line

IN 1915, a high police official in Bulawayo, responding to repeated entreaties by various African organizations, appealed to the top colonial administrator to establish a housing scheme "for the more respectable class of natives who form part of the labour supply of the town, and who shun the location [or African ghetto] as a dwelling place for their wives and families."
