The end of the nineteenth-century in East Africa was the beginning of a new era of political, economic and social change. As legitimate began to replace the external slave trade throughout the continent, European powers sought new products needed to fuel industrialization. A major product shipped from the East African coast from the 1890s onwards was rubber, which grew wild in parts of the interior and was brought to the coast for shipment to Europe via Zanzibar. By the end of the nineteenth-century, rubber had replaced both slaves and ivory as the major export product from the Mrima and Kilwa coasts.1
