  Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its labyrinthine, convoluted governmental structure notwithstanding, economically, the CAF proved to be a success story – though the average income of a European remained approximately tenfold that of an African (from amongst the third of Africans employed in the cash economy, that is).
By 31 December, the CAF was formally dissolved with the division of its assets distributed amongst the Territorial governments (division being, perhaps, a misleading word as Southern Rhodesia obtained the vast majority of these including the assets of the Federal army, to which it had overwhelmingly contributed to).
The dissolution of the CAF brought to the fore the independent African-led nations of Zambia and Malawi, whereas Southern Rhodesia remained under the rule of a white minority government until Zimbabwean independence in 1980 (with much of that period marked by civil war).

 "The Place to Disappear" by Susan Orlean
She was a slender girl with the pinkish pallor of a milkmaid, blond hair, gray eyes, and a nose ring.
The road has a jumble of small businesses-travel agencies, Internet cafs, souvenir stores, bars-and the sidewalk and the edge of the roadbed are lined with stalls offering bootleg tapes, bogus Teva sandals, Hindu-print camisoles, and flyweight silver jewelry, along with the hair-braiders and the banana-pancake makers.
The junkies and the glue-sniffers lurking in the alleys are part of it, and so are the clean-cut kids with stiff, Ecstasy-fuelled grins dancing at the cafs; the aimlessness that pervades the place is both pleasantly spacey and a little scary when you glimpse an especially blank face.
