“It is no exaggeration for me to say that this week, these three days that His Imperior Majesty Haile Selassie 1 Of Ethiopia has honoured us with His presence in our country, in our city, marks the greatest day of my life, of my country, and of my people…His Imperior Majesty represents one of the oldest ruling houses not only in our own continent but all over this world… here is the direct descendant of Queen Of Sheba and King Solomon…We have had the privilege of welcoming and entertaining in our midst the one leader in all Africa who has been responsible more than anyone else for the birth of true spirit amongst Africans of African Unity and for the coming into being of the Organization Of African Unity. His Imperior Majesty’s long and distinguished career began a very long time ago, 59 years ago to be exact, when at the age of only 14; he was first appointed Governor of a place called Garar Mullerta in the Harar province of Ethiopia. So far as I know, so far as I have read or heard anywhere, I have never heard of anyone being appointed a Governor at the age of 14.” (Dr. H.K. Banda; Malawi Prime Minister, 3rd Aug. 1965).
