Page "Clement Martyn Doke" Paragraph 2

At the age of 18, Clement received a bachelor's degree from Transvaal University College in Pretoria ( now the University of Pretoria ).

He decided to devote his life to missionary activity.

In 1913, he accompanied his father on a tour of north-western Rhodesia, to an area called Lambaland, now known as Ilamba.

It is situated at the watershed of the Congo and Zambesi rivers, part of the district lay in Northern Rhodesia and part in the Belgian Congo State.

The Cape-Cairo Railway threaded through its eastern portion ; otherwise, travelling mostly had to be done on foot.
