  • Higginson's First Report
    Higginson’s first report; the unedited version Be the first known report of Lieutenant Walter Robert Higginson, No6 Company, 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment, Natal Native Contingent in relation to the Battle of Isandlwana 22 January, 1879 Cameron Simpson _____________________________________________________________________ Whilst pursing details of Colonial Officers who served in the Anglo-Zulu War for a thesis I’m writing, I made a routine visit to the Cape Archives Repository in Cape Town early in September, 2015. Every visit I make a habit of picking material from the Archives Packing Lists that I know are yet to be fully explored and catalogue the contents for future reference. There’s very little on the Anglo-Zulu War and most material I find is usually relating to the either the Ninth Eastern Cape Frontier War, Moorosi’s campaign of the Gun War. This time, I targeted the Government House records and was searching through GH36-18, when I came across a folio (No18 of 1880) simply titled in blue pencil ‘Isandlwana’. The first item within the folio was an extract from the Royal Engineers Journal of an article about Isandlwana from a Zulu’s perspective. The second one, I first thought was a copy of Lieutenant Walter Higginson’s Isandlwana report that was published in the National Archives document, WO33/34 as an enclosure. After a quick read through I noticed that it was similar, but I then started to read references for the first time; I began to ponder, was it different? After a very brisk walk home I grabbed hold of a copy of WO33/34 and confirmed that the Cape Archives report was dated 17 February and the WO33/34 report was dated 18 February; thus the War Office version was somewhat sanitized although in places the two versions complement each other.

  • 'It Was the Best Oftimes, It Was the Worst Oftimes '1
    'It was the best oftimes, it was the worst oftimes '1 Natal and the Anglo-Boer War of1899-19022 At the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War the British colony of Natal stood to gain and to lose by virtue of its geographical position, and duly did both as the ensuing conflict unfolded. The territory was obviously vulnerable to Boer invasion, yet the support of its inhabitants for the British war effort was not as axiomatic as might be supposed. The reaction of the colony's African majority to the prospect of war was not recorded, though many were to be affected and some actively involved in what was supposed to be a whites-only conflict. Most white Natalians were slow to rally to the flag as they wrestled with ambivalent feelings towards the Boer republics and uncertainty concerning the sincerity of aggressive imperial diplomacy in southern Africa. Significantly, perhaps, when war was declared less than 20% of the colony's white adult male popUlation of military age (20 to 40 years old) enlisted for service, excluding the existing rifle associations which were on standby.3 Pre-war sentiment Whi le the imperial defeats of 1881, CLl lminating at Majuba, still rankled in loyalist hearts, by the 1890s Natal inescapably depended more than ever before upon the overberg trade as a source of both public and private income. President Kruger was wamily received when he visited the colony in April 1891 to celebrate the completion ofthe main Natal railway line to Charlestown on the Transvaal border.4 By then more than 62% of Natal's imports, upon which customs duties and railway rates were levied, were bound for the interior republics.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

  • The Other Side of the Story: Attempts by Missionaries to Facilitate Landownership by Africans During the Colonial Era
    Article The Other Side of the Story: Attempts by Missionaries to Facilitate Landownership by Africans during the Colonial Era R. Simangaliso Kumalo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2098-3281 University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa [email protected] Abstract This article provides a critique of the role played by progressive missionaries in securing land for the African people in some selected mission stations in South Africa. It argues that, in spite of the dominant narrative that the missionaries played a role in the dispossession of the African people of their land, there are those who refused to participate in the dispossession. Instead, they used their status, colour and privilege to subvert the policy of land dispossession. It critically examines the work done by four progressive missionaries from different denominations in their attempt to subvert the laws of land dispossession by facilitating land ownership for Africans.
