FOOTNOTES:
[1] Within the last few years the competition between the “Union
Steamship Co.” and “Donald Currie and Co.” has reduced the length
of the voyage from Southampton to Cape Town, _viâ_ Madeira, to
eighteen or twenty days.
[2] The Dutch spoken by most of the South African farmers is not pure,
as in Europe; it is a mixture of English, Low-German, French, &c. That,
however, which is spoken by the more educated Dutchmen in Cape Town,
Bloemfontein, and other towns, is for the most part very good.
[3] I use the term “murderous propensity” advisedly, as the cobra is
quite unable to devour what it has thus destroyed.
[4] “Bas,” a lord, a master: “Morena” ruler.
[5] “Look, uncle!”
[6] “The fellows are making off!”
[7] Molapo = river.
[8] Montsua has subsequently done this, and has offered the English
Government the jurisdiction of his territory.
[9] I consider that there are three distinct mountain-groups in Central
South Africa; the Magaliesbergen in the east; the Marico heights in the
west; and the hills in Matabele-land in the north.
[10] According to Mr. Mackenzie, the bathu ba lehuku are “the people of
the word;” the people who receive God’s word.
[11] It was by the Wesleyan Missionary Society that Christianity was
introduced among the Barolongs. At the time of my visit, in 1873,
Moshaneng was the most northerly station; but now that Montsua has
settled in Lo thlakane, there is no station further north than Molema’s
Town. Molema himself is still a preacher. Mr. Webb has left. Mr. Harris
is the present missionary in Lothlakane. The work of the Society has
borne good fruit, inasmuch as it has refined many of the habits of the
Barolongs, induced the rulers to adopt more considerate measures, and
by the introduction of agriculture has done much to raise the social
condition of the natives.
[12] “Master! master! take care, something is running at you!”
[13] Digging forms a conspicuous element in all the Bechuana ceremonies.
[14] In my opinion it is only a strong Government measure and the free
provision of sulphuric acid, to be used diluted, that will be of any
avail to check this disorder, which annually costs a large sum of money
that ought to be saved.
