Notes
- Abstract:
- This was his first royal kraal at old Bulawayo, a couple of miles south of the Criterion Mine and on a commanding position now known as Sauerdale. Only a few traces remain of it. From a sketch by A. A. Anderson, author of Twenty-five Years in a Wagon in the Gold Regions of Africa, 1887.
- General Note:
- Lobengula Khumalo (1845–1894) was the second and last king of the Northern Ndebele people (historically called Matabele in English). Both names, in the Ndebele language mean "the men of the long shields", a reference to the Ndebele warriors' use of the Zulu shield and spear. -- Wikipedia
- General Note:
- A kraal is a circular enclosure for cattle or other livestock. A typical kraal will be surrounded by thorn-bush branches or, less frequently, by a mud wall or other fencing. The term has entered English through Afrikaans.
- General Note:
- Author and date unknown [note in pencil on reverse reads "(probably) A. A. Anderson ?"]
