Abstract:The author's thesis is that in both Kenya and Rhodesia the introduction of land segregation did not only keep the African people in a state of serfdom but also retarded the economic development of these countries by preventing the majority of their inhabitants from active participation in the exploitation of their resources. This essay compares and contrasts the implementation of land policy and the levying of exorbitant taxes in both Kenya and Southern Rhodesia and examines the effects of land segregation on the labour situation in the two countries.
