[Child of Storm by H. Rider Haggard]@TWC D-Link bookChild of Storm CHAPTER VI 6/31
But this dog of a Bangu is an evil-doer.
Many years ago he worked on the Black One who went before me to send him to destroy Matiwane, my friend, filling the Black One's ears with false accusations; and thereafter he did treacherously destroy him and all his tribe save Saduko, his son, and some of the people and children who escaped.
Moreover, of late he has been working against me, the King, striving to stir up rebellion against me, because he knows that I hate him for his crimes.
Now I, Panda, unlike those who went before me, am a man of peace who do not wish to light the fire of civil war in the land, for who knows where such fires will stop, or whose kraals they will consume? Yet I do wish to see Bangu punished for his wickedness, and his pride abated.
Therefore I give Saduko leave, and those people of the Amangwane who remain to him, to avenge their private wrongs upon Bangu if they can; and I give you leave, Macumazahn, to be of his party.
