MOBILISATION

OF TROOPS

Serowe, Bechuanaland, June 3..

Police arrested 38 Africans in a surprise raid today in Serowe, tribal capital of the Bamangwatos of Bechuanaland, as European women and children living in the city were moved into a security area near the office of the District Commissioner.

Among those arrested was Keoboka Kgamane, who led the recent Bamangwato delegation to London to protest to the British Government against the banning of Seretse Khama from the tribe's chieftainship..

Lorry loads of African and white police armed with tear-gas bombs, rifles and bayonets, truncheons and wickerwork shields left a "security area" in front of the District Commissioner's office late this afternoon.

The convoy split up into three parts and each section went to a different part of Serowe.

The raid was kept a secret, and Africans at Keoboka's house seemed to have been taken completely by surprise. and 10 injured in disturbances last weekend.
