Discuss all the land settlement schemes that Bookers had on offer.

This written by a major PPP man so don't scream that he lied.
Now tell us when did the colonial government establish these settlement schemes for blacks. In fact they over taxed the blacks (Buxton people stop train) and allowed the planters to flood the lands. And after the major period of purchase by these black villagers they changed the rules to make further land purchases by them to be difficult. As a result over time the lands had to be increasingly subdivided and so became too small to be viable.
