Answer» Rinderpest was the fast spreading and devastating disease of cattle plague. It affected the Africans in the following ways : (i) Rinderpest moved like forest fire. (ii) 90% of cattle were killed. (iii) The loss of cattle destroyed African livelihoods. Earlier people rarely worked for a wage. They possessed land and livestock.
