Alfred describes journeying to a village in Barotseland: ‘Enter a village – children run out of it to wave to us, the younger and more timid kids who have never seen a white [man] scuttle and bawl like stuck pigs – probably they have been told if they are naughty they will be handed over to “the big bad white man”’.

Other headings include ‘meetings and oratory’, ‘progress towards civilisation’, dancing and ‘African Albinos – saw 2 only up to today, 10 June 1947’.
