April 1963 - The Land Of It Can Be Done Dr Banda Mr

April 1963 - The Land Of It Can Be Done Dr Banda Mr. Mennen Williams unveil the cornerstone of Blantyres new £375, 000 polytechnic. Once upon a time Nyasaland was a land of too many people and too many goats, too much lake and too little land, too many mountains poking into and peeping out of too much mist. It was pretty hopeless, too. The perfect pasture for missionaries. And the few white settlers shook their heads sadly and stirred their tea. Then a little doctor appeared and there was trouble and the white settlers shook their heads more vigorously and had a good, solid drink. Now the little doctor is prime minister, and something strange and wonderful is happening to that land. Nyasaland is on the move. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
