Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3011R/43

Scope and Contents

126 x 115 mm. Showing land being cleared of vegetation at the edge of a lake. The caption on the reverse reads: 'Throughout the area selected for resettlement, protective clearing of the tsetse breeding places had to be carried out. Large gangs of paid labour are necessary to carry out new clearance but maintenance work is largely under-taken by the people on a communal basis. It is found that satisfactory maintenance can be achieved if each adult male gives four days' labour a year'.
