Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Rhodesian Highlights. DESCRIPTION: Another highlight of Mr Macmillan’s African tour was his visit to the copper-belt in Northern Rhodesia. Copper is to Rhodesia as gold is to South Africa, and the Prime Minister must have been impressed by the vast plant at the Nkana Mine. Industry needs power, and the copper-belt obtains a lot of it from the Zambesi, tamed at last by the Kariba Dam. SHOTLIST: LS Mr & Lady Dorothy Macmillan. GV crowds. MS demonstrators.
