1929
Investigation challenged extensive land claims
A 1929 investigation concluded that the company's claimed treaties with local chiefs in northern Nyasaland were unreliable or improperly obtained in several cases. The claims covered a very large area, and local concerns also surrounded possible land sales. In 1930, the British South Africa Company agreed to cancel the title in exchange for mineral rights.
