Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa

CHAPTER 10
17/19

The Recorder of Natal declared of them that history does not present another instance in which so much security for life and property has been enjoyed, as has been experienced, during the whole period of English occupation, by ten thousand colonists, in the midst of one hundred thousand Zulus.
The Matebele of Mosilikatse, living a short distance south of the Zambesi, and other tribes living a little south of Tete and Senna, are members of this same family.

They are not known beyond the Zambesi River.

This was the limit of the Bechuana progress north too, until Sebituane pushed his conquests farther.
2d.

The Bakoni and Basuto division contains, in the south, all those tribes which acknowledge Moshesh as their paramount chief.

Among them we find the Batau, the Baputi, Makolokue, etc., and some mountaineers on the range Maluti, who are believed, by those who have carefully sifted the evidence, to have been at one time guilty of cannibalism.
