July 1960 - Can Kenya Avoid Another Mau Mau? - Oath-takers

July 1960 - Can Kenya Avoid Another Mau Mau? - Oath-takers are charged during the renewed spate of oathing which broke out in 1960. The slashed body of a Kikuyu headman found at the bottom of a latrine has sent a shiver down the spines of all those who hoped that Kenya's path to independence would be a smooth one. The headman's murderers forced his teenage son and daughter to take an oath of secrecy in their father's blood. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
