Challange: Make the Centeral Afircan Federation survive into the present.

Make the Centeral African Federation survive into the present. Brownie points if it is still a Commanwealth Realm.
 
I doubt you could. Nyasaland (Malawi today) was simply not gonna be controlled by the British. Independence was a matter of when, not if.

Rhodesia is easier, but still hard. You'd have to get a much larger white population or a much better educated and more loyal black population to keep it in the Commonwealth. You could unite the two Rhodesias, but that would just be Rhodesia, not the Central African Federation. Perhaps they'd have to gain a territory or two to keep that name.
 
Well perhaps some sort of POD where the indigenous political movements formed into a solid bloc along the lines of the ANC or the Congress, rather than separate nationalist groups might help. That way they would also want to remain a unified state post independence.

This might also be easier to achieve than a massive early increase in settler numbers

Well for starters I think the major POD is that Barthelemy Boganda is not killed in a plane crash in March 1959, if anyone is able to pull it off it would be him.
