Description
“A view of Mgini village”. Exterior view of a village in what was then the British Mandate of Tanganyika. A large open area separates several wattled buildings with thatched roofs. Some figures work independently in shaded areas and a procession of people can be seen in the distance. ❧ Andrew M. Anderson and Duncan Ross Mackenzie were the two main participants in establishing inroads into Tanzania. The Church of Scotland, based in Nyasaland [Malawi], took over the work of the Berliner Missionsgesellschaft [Berlin Missionary Society], in the Iringa district of Tanzania, after the deportation of German missionaries. The stations were only temporarily under the care of the Scottish Churches, until the return of the German missionaries, although Anderson was fiercely opposed to relinquishing them The indigenous population were predominately from the Hehe tribe and the three main stations were at Lupembe, Kidugala and Ilembula with numerous sub-stations, many of which had fallen into disrepair after the war. ❧ This image belongs to an album of photographs collected by Dr. Stevenson and includes images from India, China and Africa
