AHC: Minority-rule in Northern Rhodesia/Zambia

So with a POD of 1948, have Northern Rhodesia/Zambia be independent and minority-ruled, like Southern Rhodesia/Rhodesia.

Northern and Southern Rhodesia can be a united, White ruled state, or on its own, but it must survive until at least 1980.

Good luck.

This did pretty much happen. It was called Rhodesia-Nyasaland or the Central African Federation

I don't think it is doable without the CAF lasting longer.

There really are not enough whites to make it work with this late a POD. I also don't think London would be super up for it.

One general idea would be to somehow, earlier, break down Northern Rhodesia into perhaps two or three units - separate off the north. This could be make the economically viable/important parts easier to incorporate quickly into Southern Rhodesia..

Then of course there is the Jewish option - the South already had a large Jewish population pre ww2, perhaps more could be encouraged to move post WW1 to the North. Nothing as silly as Madagascar or Uganda, but 5-10k Jewish migrants interwar would be a massive boost to the non Black population.
