Unusual human courage mixed with plain, unmitigated Bad Luck. ItÕs the story of 123 boys and girls, some of them deaf, dumb and blind, all fighting nigh and day to make life better than death. They stay in their boarding school-cum home at Kutlwanong in Roodepoort, less than 20 miles from Johannesburg. Yes, that is the story of Kutlwanong. Sounds grim.

But their latest craze is Tcha-Tcha-Tcha,“ a Lagos night club proprietor told us as we were wandering around to find out how the people enjoy themselves. And he wasn't exaggerating when he called the Tcha a craze, for, on the dance floor, were boys and girls some rolling on the ground, some reeling like wounded things, and some falling backwards and forwards all answering the call of the Tcha-Tcha-Tcha. This was crazy Highlife getting crazier, madder, loonier, bursting at the seams with abandon. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)

To most Nigerians, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto and premier of the North, is more a legend than a man. But man he is. A truly remarkable man who disdains wealth, who rules the giant North yet owns only ten acres of land, who works and prays for his people with such inspired energy that he sleeps only in snatches, whose exemplary life has shamed the corrupt.( Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)

    Description: DM2011053120:SAED:POLITICS:GCP APR 7 1961 – Warmbaths Strikes – Warmbaths came to the boil for three days municipal cops and advisory board men slept in bushes in fear of their lives. Business came to a standstill in this dusty platteland town. And men fell to police bullets. And all over one man Martinus Wessel Van Coller. Warmbath’s labour force, 5000 strong from Bela-Bela township went on strike over the reappointment of Van Coller as a Manager of Non-European Affairs. More than 40 people have been arrested following the Sunday stampede. And all over Van Coller. The entire township was non-torn on Sunday afternoon as young men went from house to house, street by street, chanting “Van Coller must go, we don’t want him here”. Several people who didn’t join the marchers were beaten up. (Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

    Description: NIGED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:DEC 1967 Ð Why The War Broke Out? Ð AfricaÕs youngest head of state, Major-General Yakubu Gowon, is fighting hard to keep total Nigerian unity. Many people thought that Major-General Gowon, in view of the strained relations between the North and the Ibos, would seek to consolidate a northern hold on the rest of the country. Others secretly feared that the young general was out to launch himself on a political career. But by the creation of twelve states in the federation (even when it was known that many northern leaders were opposed to it), Major-General Yakubu Gowon has disabused the minds of people. His appointment of a federal executive council embracing, undiscredited civilians as well as inclusion of civilians in his war cabinet is enough evidence that Yakubu Gowon did not set out ambitiously to establish a military dictatorship.

    Description: . NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:SEP 1959 The North's Great Durbar The pounding, Pulsating rhythm of the drums is too strong to be denied. From all parts of the North they came. The bold cavalry-men on their fiery steeds, their swords and spears glistening in the sun. The women from the Zaria Province, tall and erect in their colourful robes. The men dancer, bursting with smiles and vitality. Such a day had not been before, the day a durbar was held to celebrate self-government in the Northern Region of Nigeria. It was enormous, vast, diverse, majestic. Taking part were over 10 000 men and women, 3000 horses. Dancing and singing crowds came from all thirteen provinces of the Northern Region.

They say they have adapted Christianity to West African Life. It looked as if Christianity had come to stay, and in the ensuing years the church strove to stabilize its position in the social life of the people. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

    Description: DM2008071802:EAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:MAY 1973 - The Mind Of An African Tyrant - Amin enjoying his tea. "Amin's impatience and wilfulness has led, directly or indirectly, to the murder of innocent people" - One day when the graves are counted and the grisly evidence is put together, Africans will try to find out what pushed Idi Amin Dada, this seemingly affable and tolerant man, into tyranny. Perhaps part of the answer goes back to his early years in the isolated north-west of Uganda. His tribe was so backward that it had no chieftaincy system, nor the kind of local democracy that many other African people take for granted. Strong personalities counted more than the wise or compliant ones. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)

    Description: DM2008061101:EAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:MAY 1973 - The Truth About Idi Amin - In the guise of a champion of Africa, General Idi Amin Dada of Uganda has committed heinous crimes against his own African people. The political action of the wilful soldier-president, his expulsion of the Asians, Israelis and British, have been widely covered in the world press. His crimes against his own people have received little attention from the headlines. Day by day, month after month, execution squads - action for or operation without interference from the Ugandan military regime- have purged Uganda of hundreds of its most able and loyal citizens and eliminated thousands of officers, soldiers and innocent people. Idi was born to a peasant of the Kakwa tribe on the far north-west of Uganda, where the Nile begins. The Kakwa are among the more backward tribes of Africa. The young Idi was educated in Swahili at the local school. He was saved from a life of backwardness by a recruiting officer of
