EDITORS COMMENTS
Gaborone (Fort Gaberoons): the police station," the image showcases the city's original police station, which was also known as Fort Gaberoons. At the time, Gaborone was the administrative center of Bechuanaland, a British protectorate in southern Africa. The photograph reveals a collection of huts clustered around the fort, with the police station standing proudly at its center. The fort's design reflects the fusion of European and African architectural styles, with its red-roofed, rectangular buildings and thatched huts. The presence of the fort signified the British colonial influence in the region, as they sought to establish order and governance in the area. The huts surrounding the fort suggest the coexistence of different communities, likely consisting of local residents and British officials. The image offers a snapshot of daily life during this period, with people going about their business, children playing, and livestock grazing nearby. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Botswana's capital city. It invites us to reflect on the complex and intriguing history of Gaborone and the broader African continent, as it transitioned from traditional societies to colonial rule." This photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical resource that sheds light on the early days of Gaborone and Botswana's colonial past. It offers a unique perspective on the intersection of European and African cultures, and the complexities of the colonial experience in Africa. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and should be respected as an important piece of historical documentation.
