Extract

Between December 24, 1971, and January 5, 1972, I visited the Rhodesian cities of Bulawayo, Gwela and Salisbury, and the African rural districts of Essexvale, Gwanda, Filabusi andSeke. I met with chiefs, community and civic leaders, African Members of Parliament, one African lawyer and one African doctor, several businessmen and many ordinary country people. I attended meetings, beerhall sessions and church services. I also came into contact with Europeans at the University of Rhodesia, at the office of the Chief Native Commissioner, top officials in the Ministry of African Education, one Native Commissioner and several lesser European government officials.

* On July 1, 1966, I was arrested on the grounds that I had maintained contact with the banned and exiled African leaders. I was, however, released and allowed to leave the country in spite of the fact that three weeks prior to the date of my detention, the police officials had reached a decision to detain me indefinitely without trial.
