Traditional rulers played a major role in the politics of the Southern Cameroons during the British colonial period (1946-1961). They were used by the British as instruments of indirect rule, but they also used their positions to advocate for the interests of their people and to promote the development of the Southern Cameroons. Traditional rulers were also indispensable for the decolonization of the Southern Cameroons. Despite efforts to replace them, traditional rulers continue to play an important role in the Southern Cameroons today. This study examines the role of traditional rulers in the politics of the Southern Cameroons during the British colonial period. It argues that traditional rulers played a complex and multifaceted role, both collaborating with the British and resisting their rule. The study also assesses the impact of the chieftaincy institution on the decolonization of the Southern Cameroons and evaluates the role of traditional rulers in contemporary Southern Cameroons. The study uses a combination of primary and secondary sources, including oral interviews with informants, to collect data. The findings of the study suggest that traditional rulers played an important role in the political development of the Southern Cameroons during the British colonial period and continue to play an important role today.
