The English-language article and the Swahili-language newspaper items complement one another in four respects:
of a fragment.
2. An article is the result of organizing data and abstracting from them; a newspaper item is, in a sense, itself a datum.
3. An article may be higher in intelligibility than a single news item, but the news item is often higher in immediacy and interest.

A newspaper story that agrees (or disagrees) with the article is in effect a second, unprejudiced witness.Some of the principal points of the original article, paired with their corresponding newspaper items, are the following:
1. 'There remains the problem of developing adequate indigenous sources to fulfill the natural desire to Africanise the skilled labour force.'
