Share
The arrival of rinderpest in Africa led to catastrophic effects. It caused widespread death among cattle, devastating economies reliant on livestock, resulting in famine and poverty. Social structures crumbled, disrupting traditional livelihoods and facilitating European colonial control due to weakened African societies.
The coming of rinderpest or cattle plague to Africa had a terrifying impact on people’s livelihood and the local economy as mentioned below:
(i) Rinderpest reached Africa’s Atlantic coast in 1892. It reached the Cape in 1897. Along the way it killed 90 per cent of the cattle.
(ii) The loss of cattle destroyed African livelihoods.
(iii) Planters, mine owners and colonial governments monopolised the remaining cattle resources and strengthened their power. They forced the Africans into the labour market.
(iv) Control over the remaining cattle resource enabled European colonisers to conquer and sub-due Africa.
