Abstract: | An appraisal of fishing practice and potential of the Valley Tonga. According to Dr. Tobias, in 'Man', 1958: 88, 'the swift flow of the Zambezi, the fear of crocodiles and the near absence of fishing techniques and traditions have ruled out fish as a source of nutrition. From this it might be concluded that the Valley Tonnga would be unlikely to make the most of the new source of food and wealth made available to them by the creation of Kariba Lake, and that in consequence the authorities would be justified in granting fishing concessions to outsiders. The facts presented in this article will enable the necessary decisions to be made in the light of full knowledge of the situation. |
