I mean didn't you see the caption? This was recorded in 1961, these guys weren't seers, these guys were film crews.

The Sultan of Zanzibar is related to the Sultan of Oman. Zanzibar and Oman were one and the same until the early 20th century

@@gyanganesh4739 No, of Zanzibar only. Had to flee in ca. 1963 as (almost?) the whole Asian and Arab populations were slaughtered. So the young Indian man making the silverware most likely died only two years after being filmed for this newsreel. That is somehow unsettling when you think of it.

Be grateful your kind is even allowed to stay on the African continent, Be grateful your kind is even still welcomed to the African continent cause I know your kind don’t treat us the same.
