Material for this thesis was collected in Durban, Eshowe, Johannesburg, London, Melmoth, Nongoma, Oxford, Pietermaritzburg, Pretoria and Ulundi. To all the staff of the various archives and libraries listed in the bibliography, I extend my gratitude. I spent most of 1993 in South Africa conducting research during a period of severe drought and rapid political change. These two features of that period were constant reminders to me of the forces which shaped society in Zululand during the 193 0s and 1940s. My insights into the people of Zululand were enhanced by oral research field trips taken in Nquthu, Nkandhla, Eshowe, Melmoth, Mahlabatini and Nongoma at the height of the 1993 drought in June, July and September. I would like to thank my hosts in Zululand, C. and N. Wilkinson, for their generous hospitality and for the contacts they made. I could not have conducted the interviews without the advice and work of R. Kleinknecht and especially Ntombi 1 Mkhize of the KwaZulu Monuments Council in Ulundi. Ntombi was an invaluable interpreter and she patiently guided me through the complexities of conducting interviews in polarised areas of Zululand. I would also like to give special thanks to the people listed in the bibliography who gave their time and faced possible reprisals to share some of their life stories and insights into the history of Zululand. I am grateful for the support and hospitality given by many friends in South Africa, particularly T. Preston-Davis, The Fenners, The Horlocks and the Howies. For support in London my greatest thanks goes to Shula and Isaac Marks and Gregor and Wendy MacKinnon for providing me with safe havens from the indifference of the city. I would also like to thank Professor Henry Bartel for office space. And, as always, my greatest appreciation goes to my family for their wonderful understanding, love and support throughout. The always cheerful and helpful faculty and staff at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London provided an ideal place to study. I am also grateful to the University of London Central Research Fund and the Institute of Commonwealth Studies for financial support. I could not have written the thesis without the important scholarly advice and insights given generously by David Anderson, Peter Alexander, Nicholas Cope, David Duncan, Dax Driver, Iain Edwards, Bill Freund, Rob Gordon, Alan Jeeves, Paul la Hausse, Shaun Milton, Martin Murray, Nicholas 2 Norman, John Saul, Bob Stock and Elaine Unterhalter. My greatest gratitude goes to Professor Shula Marks, my supervisor, for her patience, encouragement and tireless efforts in support of my work. She has been an invaluable resource and friend. The responsibility for any errors in the thesis, however, remains with me. Unless noted otherwise specifically in the text, the thesis is my own original work. 3 ABBREVIATIONS The following abbreviations have been used in the text and citations: AA African Affairs.

  • Laws and Regulations Affecting the Powers of Chiefs in the Natal and Zululand Regions, 1875-1910: a Historical Examination
    LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING THE POWERS OF CHIEFS IN THE NATAL AND ZULULAND REGIONS, 1875-1910: A HISTORICAL EXAMINATION By SINOTHI DENNIS THABETHE Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, in the School of Human and Social Studies, University of Natal Pietermaritzburg December 2000 Table of Contents Abstract 111 Acknowledgments IV Glossary of Zulu terms used in the dissertation V Abbreviations VI Chapter one: Introduction 1 Chapter two: The formalizing of the powers of chiefs in Natal, 1875-1893 11 Chapter three: The decline of chiefly authority in the shadow of settler domination in Natal, 1893 to 1897 29 Chapter four: The impact of colonial rule on the powers of chiefs in Zululand, 1879-1897 40 Chapter five: The impact of settler government on the powers of chiefs in the enlarged colony of Natal, 1897-1910 5,4 Chapter six: Conclusion 71 List of sources 75 Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the nature of colonial-made laws and regulations which affected the powers of chiefs in the Natal and Zululand regions between 1875 and 1910, and the context in which they were made. Since the establishment of colonial rule in Natal in the 1840s, the colonial government had aimed to bring chiefs under control and to weaken their powers. In the 1870s the pace at which chiefly authority was undermined increased. This dissertation begins in the mid-1870s because this was when white settlers in Natal gradually began to get more influence over native affairs because of important shifts in British policies in South Africa.

This conflict escalated during the four years of negotiations for a transition to democratic rule, and reached the status of a virtual civil war in the last months before the national elections of April 1994, significantly disrupting the election process. Although the first year of democratic government in South Africa has led to a decrease in the monthly death toll, the figures remain high enough to threaten the process of national reconstruction. In particular, violence may prevent the establishment of democratic local government structures in KwaZulu-Natal following further elections scheduled to be held on November 1, 1995. The basis of this violence remains the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC), now the leading party in the Government of National Unity, and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the majority party within the new region of KwaZulu-Natal that replaced the former white province of Natal and the black homeland of KwaZulu. Although the IFP abandoned a boycott of the negotiations process and election campaign in order to participate in the April 1994 poll, following last minute concessions to its position, neither this decision nor the election itself finally resolved the points at issue. While the ANC has argued during the year since the election that the final constitutional arrangements for South Africa should include a relatively centralized government and the introduction of elected government structures at all levels, the IFP has maintained instead that South Africa's regions should form a federal system, and that the colonial tribal government structures should remain in place in the former homelands.

  • Mounted Troops in Zululand Brian M
    Mounted Troops in Zululand Brian M. Best ____________________________________________________________________________________________ With Britain’s attention taken up with the events in Afghanistan during 1878, the War Office concentrated all available Imperial regiments on the North West Frontier. These naturally included units of cavalry sent to act as the eyes for the huge columns that began their advance during November. At the same time in South Africa, unbeknown to the British Government, Sir Bartle Frere, the High Commissioner, and Lord Chelmsford, the Army Commander, was preparing to invade Zululand. Chelmsford was relying on the Imperial regiments with which he had successfully defeated the Gaikas and Gcalekas during the recent Frontier War. These were infantry battalions only, for there were no cavalry stationed in South Africa. In order to fill this gap, volunteers were taken from the 3rd, 13th, 24th, 80th and 90th Regiments and formed into two squadrons of Mounted Infantry with a total strength of 300 men. Many of these men were generally experienced with horses from their former civilian occupations, having been grooms, ostlers etc. Others, however, were not and it took sometime to train these would-be cavalrymen. Once proficient, the Mounted Infantry acquitted themselves very well. The men were dressed as normal infantrymen, except that they wore cord breeches and calf-length leather gaiters. Instead of pouches, they carried their ammunition in bandoliers draped across the chest. Unlike other mounted troops, the mounted infantrymen were armed with a Martini-Henry rifle instead of the shorter carbine. For the officers, the transition was an easy one as they were all mounted as a matter of course.
