Sisal Industry in Tanzania Since Colonial Era (eBook, ePUB)

Uncovered Modern Slavery to Liberation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, I do not intend to write in detail about the sisal plant and its husbandry as such account in thoroughly discussed in the book titled Sisal by G. Lock and others. This book will only carry full history as regards to when and how sisal came to Tanzania and its post independence development. It will also discuss how the industry was managed by both German and British Colonial regimes with emphasis on how sisal cutters were recruited within the country and deplorable conditions of their employment-which might lead one to suspect that the recruitment exercise was somehow another form of modern slavery in modern times when British, Greeks, and Asian nationals were managing sisal estates during the British colonial rule.

Autorenporträt

About the Author At the end of my school life, I joined the local government service as treasurer and secretary to the Pare District Council, 1951-1956; and immediately thereafter, I joined the sisal industry, first with Amboni Ltd. in March 1957 and then with Lugongo Estate from October 1960 and remained in the industry for some forty-six years up to July 2001 when I retired as managing director of Lugongo Estate Limited.
