In "A Veldt Official," Mitford likely tells the story of a government official or administrator working in the veldt, the open grasslands of southern Africa. The veldt was a significant geographical feature in colonial Africa, and government officials played crucial roles in managing colonial administration, enforcing laws, and interacting with local populations.The narrative may follow the protagonist's experiences as they navigate the challenges of colonial governance, including issues such as maintaining order, mediating disputes, and addressing the needs of both European settlers and indigenous African communities. The title suggests that the novel may explore the complexities of official duties in the veldt, as well as the personal and professional dilemmas faced by the protagonist.
