20 For the history of the Jehovah’s Witnesses see Cross (1973, 1978), Cunnison (1951),
Greschat (1967), Assimeng (1970, 1986) and Epstein (1986) as well as Yearbook of
Jehovah’s Witnesses (1972, 234 - 254).
21 During a visit to the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Central Administration in Kitwe on 13.3.84, the
interlocutor was not prepared to give his name to the author. He was very reluctant to provide
any information and access to the archives was denied. A repeat visit did not produce any
further information.
22 As the list of member churches obtained from the Registrar of Societies (which, for the
Jehovah’s Witnesses, is the basis of Fig. 33) is obviously incomplete for the New Apostolic
Church, it could not be used. For example, it makes no mention of churches in the Western
Province which, according to reliable information, is one of the strongest areas of this church.
23 Most independent churches are known by several names so that it is often difficult to iden-
tify them.
24 The estimation of numbers of members or adherents is subject to even greater uncertainty
for the independent churches than in the case of the mission churches.
25 In Lusaka, Livingstone, Kafue, Mumbwa, Kabwe, Ndola, Kitwe, Kalulushi, Chililabombwe,
Lundazi, Chipata, Nyimba (Eastern Province), Rufunsa (east of Lusaka), Kasama and Mbala.
26 As mentioned above, the data is not always totally reliable and comparable. Yet a cautious
quantitative analysis is still possible.
27 This is also valid for the majority of smaller groups which are not dealt with here.
28 “Urban” obviously does not mean that the churches are exclusively or only mainly in the
towns. However, the percentage of the urbanised population in them is greater than that of
the total population of the country which is around 33% (1982/3).
29 The basis for this data on the Jehovah’s Witnesses was taken from the Government Gazette
of Northern Rhodesia of 22.04.1960, in which all their groups were listed. During this time
the Witnesses were under especially strong government control and one can assume that the
list was complete.
30 Adam (1980) in a comprehensive study suggests that “tribalism” or even “ethnicity” (in his
opinion the terms are identical, the latter being a milder form used in the socio-anthropological
area of African Studies) do not play a decisive role in the political economy of Zambia. In-
stead, he suggests regionalism as the source of conflict, as in Western democracies.
31 In Zambia UNIP uses the motto “One Zambia —- one nation” in all of its political meetings
to increase consciousness of unity.
