Ghanzi In History (Part 11) - A Legacy Of Enslavement

Last week’s episode concluded on September 26, 1922 with the acting Resident Magistrate at Gobabis, South West Africa (SWA, i.e. Namibia), having informed the Resident Magistrate at Ghanzi, Alan Cuzen, that the notorious “bandit Zamekou” or Samekao, had escaped from police custody with six of his associates, who were collectively described as potentially armed and dangerous: “They have been implicated in stock thefts upon an unprecedented scale and have fired not only upon the Police but private individuals.”
