Police arrested 38 leaders of the African community in Serowe,
the Bamangwato capital in Bechuanaland, in a surprise raid last
week, Among those drrested were Keoboka Kgamane, who led the
recent delegation to London to protest against the banishment of
Seretse Khama, and Peto Sukgoma, another memger of the delegation.

Truck loads of police, armed
with tear-gas bombs, rifles and
bayonets, truncheons and wicker-

columns, each going to a differ-
ent part of town to stage the
raids.

A day later, British-directed
police killed one African and in-

jured several when they attacked }|;

Bamangwato tribesmen at Pala-
pye. Three European officers were
reported injured.

The Bamangwato’ tribesmen
are demanding the return of
their chief, Seretse Khama, per-
manently exiled from his tribe

following his marriage to a white

girl. :

Officials admitted that one of
the aims of the police who were
sent to Palapye was to arrest Afri-
cans who had resisted police. at-
tacks earlier in Seroye.

(At Serowe, angry tribesmen
stoned British officials and police,
forcing them to withdraw. Three
African policemen were killed
and 12 seriously injured.)

They said they met resistance
from about 50 Africans.

The Africans ysed sticks and
stones, the police tear gas and
batons,

Police retaliated by smashing
their way into every house in
Palapye in search of supporters
of Seretse Khama.
