It is well known also, my Father, that during that battle Saduko went over to my brother Cetewayo, though whether this brought about the defeat of Umbelazi I cannot say.

Why did he go over?
He tells you because he wished to be on the winning side.

It is not true.

He went over in order to be revenged upon Umbelazi, who had taken from him yonder witch"-- and she pointed with her finger at Mameena--"yonder witch, whom he loved and still loves, and whom even now he would shield, even though to do so he must make his own name shameful.

Saduko sinned; I do not deny it, my Father, but there sits the real traitress, red with the blood of Umbelazi and with that of thousands of others who have '_tshonile'd_' [gone down to keep him company among the ghosts].
