May 1964 - The Quiet Revolt In The Land OF Blood -

May 1964 - The Quiet Revolt In The Land OF Blood - The Royal barge prepares to depart. One of the envied oarsman's places was taken by the former Federal Member of Parliament. After centuries of epic living and epic dying over the right to rule the green flood-pains of the upper Zambesi, Barotseland has undergone its mightiest revolution, with no slaughter and hardly a whisper. Weeks ago it was still a feudal kingdom in law, under the absolute rule of its aging Litunga, Sir Mwanawina Lewanika III. Now he has renounced virtually all his powers and this problem province with its crotchety royal regime, bolstered up by old treaties with Britain, is now uniting in peace with the rest of Zambia.
