A New Governance Matrix
In colonial Africa, various forms and methodologies were deployed to effect governance. The objective was not necessarily the wellbeing of the natives, but rather peaceable existence to facilitate the extraction of resources back to the homelands of the colonisers. In this regard, the British deemed it necessary to educate and sustain the natives such that they could be used in the extraction and governance processes, thereby reducing the cost implications for the British government. the French on the other hand adopted “assimilation” making the colonies part of France in order to directly own the resources and economies of the colonies.
