Abstract:During the first 30 years of British administration in Tanganyika, little attention was paid to the 175.000 Makonde on their plateau in the Newala district of the Southern Province. The Groundnut Scheme brought in its train ideas never before contemplated seriously in the huge, undeveloped area of which the Makonde Plateau formed part. Thoughts were turned to the Makonde on their waterless plateau. The waterproblem was attacked by a pilot scheme in 1952. The Makonde Water Corporation was founded and the Makonde entered a new period of development.
