LAND TENURE AND USE RIGHTS
(Sections from Nkhata, and Simute page 9)
During the colonial era land was divided into Tribal Trust land and Crown land. These are now called Traditional and State land, respectively. The recognition by the traditional chief that control of some lands was being ceded to the Sate happened around 1955 to 1958 depending on the village describing the process, but in some cases the bordering villages did not learn of the Forest Department taking over responsibility for the forest until the 1960s (see Ndelemani report page 16), Kazika page 4, Gaveni page 4, Geleta page 5).
