country more or less covered with bush, and all the killing has been done with rifles; for, in the first
war, the Natives learnt the futility of attacking fortified positions, and now only fight in the bush in
skirmishing order, giving but little opportunity for the effective use of machine guns; so that,
although a good many rounds have been fired from Maxims at long ranges, only a very small
amount of execution has been done by them."[368]
XI. NATIVE CORPS.
(i) Natal Native Horse.
Reference was made in a note in the Introduction to the Natal Native Police organized in 1848.
Since their disbandment in 1854, no other Native corps has been permanently established in
Natal. In times of trouble, however, apart from the ordinary Native levies and contingents,
settlements of Native Christians, such as Edendale and Driefontein, invariably offered their
services to the Government. The fact that these men, a number of whom were Basutos, were
mounted, added greatly to their usefulness. The first occasion of importance on which they
volunteered was the Bushman Expedition of 1866. During the Langalibalele Rebellion, 1873, they
again took part, under Col. A.W. Durnford,[369] several being killed in the action at Bushman's
River Pass. By that time, Durnford, who arrived in Natal in June, 1873, had already begun to take
an exceptional interest in the training of Natives for military purposes. Under his sympathetic
control, the people evinced the keenest desire to assist the Government. The same spirit was
shown by the large contingents of uneducated Natives, recruited and organized to a great extent
by Durnford at the beginning of the Zulu War, not to refer to those called out on other occasions
under other officers. The men of Edendale and Driefontein under Jabez Molife and Simeon
Kambule[370] respectively, as well as Basutos under Chief Hlubi, served throughout the 1879
campaign, and rendered very valuable assistance. They took part in the battles of Isandhlwana,
Kambule, Hlobane and Ulundi, and suffered considerable losses.
The same communities, with Hlubi's Basutos, again volunteered during the Boer War, 1899-1901.
To these communities should be added that at Nyanyadu, as well as members of Chief Ncwadi's
tribe. Although, in a "white man's war," allowed to serve only as scouts, drivers and leaders and in
limited numbers, some 150 came from Driefontein alone, and 200 from Chief Ncwadi. Under Capt.
R.C. Samuelson, N.C., a considerable section of the Drakensberg Mountains was thoroughly
patrolled. A portion of the men went through the siege of Ladysmith, whilst conspicuous gallantry
was displayed by individual members of the corps on several other occasions during the same
war.
By 1906, the great majority of those who had served in the earlier campaigns were, of course, no
longer able to turn out. They, however, strongly influenced their sons to do so in their stead, with
the result that the Natal Native Horse, under Major G. Moe, U.M.R., with Samuelson as adjutant
and second in command, was raised with surprising rapidity. On instructions from the
Government, Samuelson, by the 2nd April, succeeded in enrolling nearly 1,000 picked men,
including Chiefs and Chiefs' sons. This number was, however, reduced by the Government to
326. As only about half the men had horses, the principal difficulty experienced was in obtaining
mounts for the remainder.
The corps did not take the field until the middle of May, largely owing to its having to be equipped
and trained; it was consequently unable to take part, like the Nongqai, in some of the main
operations and engagements.
It was found necessary, during the campaign, considerably to the disappointment of the members,
to break the corps up and distribute sections about the country. To whatever command, however,
they happened to be attached, the men proved to be thoroughly reliable and serviceable, and their
conduct exemplary. With better training, which in common fairness should have been available in
some way before the necessity for recruiting arose, they would have been even more valuable
than they were.
 (ii) Zululand Native Police (Nongqai).
This corps was originally formed in April, 1883, under the authority of the Imperial Government, by
Colonel G. Mansel (late Chief Commissioner of Police, Natal). The 50 non-commissioned officers
and men of whom the corps consisted, half of them recruited in Natal,[371] were under the
command of two European officers, and were originally enrolled as bodyguard to the Resident
Commissioner (the late Sir Melmoth Osborn, K.C.M.G.). They served with distinction during the
disturbances of 1884. Although attacked at Maqonga, near Nkandhla, by about 2,500 Zulus—the
Resident Commissioner being with them—they held their ground and drove off the enemy with
considerable loss, and this in spite of warning as to their probable untrustworthiness from John
Dunn, a man intimately acquainted with the country. The force was augmented in succeeding
years and became almost entirely an infantry one. During the Zululand disturbances of 1888, the
men again greatly distinguished themselves, notably at Ceza, Lower Umfolozi magistracy and
Hlopekulu. On every occasion, though pitted against overwhelming odds, they fought steadily,
effectively and with the utmost courage, without betraying at any time the least sign of breach of
faith or disloyalty.
The personnel continued to increase from 250 in 1889 to 500 in 1899. During the Boer War, the
numbers were again raised to 600, with 8 European officers, Inspector C.E. Fairlie taking
command. The corps was then employed chiefly in and about Melmoth, in putting the place into a
state of defence and escorting convoys. In September, 1904, it was suddenly disbanded by
direction of the Natal Government.
During such time as the force existed, the men were disciplined, drilled and equipped to a large
extent on the same lines as European troops; they were armed with Martini-Henry rifles, and lived
in barracks. Each man was obliged to serve for three years, with the right of re-enlisting. Many
took advantage of the right. It is estimated that, between 1883 and 1904, some 3,000 to 4,000
served in the ranks.
When the 1906 Rebellion broke out, the Government re-established the force under Fairlie. With
Mansel's assistance, about 100 men were recruited, but only with the greatest difficulty, owing to
their feeling sore at having been summarily disbanded in 1904. The reader will find several
references in this history to the conspicuous services rendered by this really excellent body of
men, notably at Bobe and Mome. They were disbanded once more in November, 1906.
The following, from a report by Colonel Mansel, will be perused with interest: "I wish to bear full
testimony to the value of Zulus as soldiers. Their instincts are wholly military. When you enlist a
Zulu, you have a ready-made soldier.... All you have to do is to teach him how to handle a rifle.
This you can do in about three or four months. He is then as good as he will ever become. He is,
as a rule, the best-tempered, most easily-managed man in the world; understands discipline by
instinct; is docile, plucky, proud of himself and his corps; kindly-disposed towards his officers; full
of mettle, and capable of enduring the extremes of marching and hunger.... Though often fighting
against his own kith and kin, not a single case of treachery or breach of faith ever occurred."
(iii) Proposed Creation of a Permanent Native Corps.
The oft-repeated experiment of forming corps of coloured people inhabiting countries conquered
by England, has apparently met with success in the main. The problem is, however, by no means
an easy one to deal with, and it is generally owing to inability on the part of the rulers to formulate
sound and workable schemes that failure has occasionally attended their efforts. Utilization of
often excellent fighting material, as, for instance, may be found in the Zulus, is obviously a matter
of importance, and any intention by a Government to establish such corps is deserving of careful
consideration. But irresolution in a matter of this kind does more harm than good. Rather not
make any attempt than be half-hearted or lukewarm. It has been seen that a Native police corps
was formed as long ago as 1848, only to be disbanded a few years later without any reasons
being given. Similar half-heartedness is observable in the foregoing account of the N.N.H. and the
Z.N.P.
Any reflecting person will, we venture to think, arrive at the conclusion that a Native corps,
established on a sound basis, is a wise and necessary provision, and this from several points of
view. It does what nothing else can do so well, namely, proves to the people that the Government
has confidence in them (as it unquestionably ought to have) and, by enabling them to share
directly in the defence of the State, powerfully induces them to take a deep and abiding interest in
the welfare, not only of themselves, but of the entire community, white and black. Thus the
primary object in establishing a corps is not so much the intrinsic value of the fighting material
recruited, as that it is an outward and visible sign to Natives in general that the rulers look on their
interests as indissolubly connected with those of Europeans, which is only another way of saying
that a premium is set on the promotion of patriotism, loyalty and contentment. As matters are at
present in South Africa, anyone can see with half an eye that, in the absence of these corps, the
respective Governments have neglected to use material that lies near at hand. The splendid
record of the N.N.H. and Z.N.P., and the consistent loyalty of each in all vicissitudes, are as sure a
guarantee as could be desired, that they would be loyal. If a permanently-established corps be but
treated in a fair and reasonable manner, it is impossible to see what object any of its members
would have for becoming mutinous or disloyal.
The martial ardour and courage of the Zulus are world-famous. Here are born soldiers, if ever
there were any such. Should the Government be unable to adopt the suggestion on a large scale,
it might at least try the Zulus. Many efforts have in the past been made to raise men. The labours,
however, were in each case foredoomed to failure, because the authorities were not behind the
movement, or, if behind it, then only half-heartedly so.
Amongst those who have interested themselves particularly in this matter is the late Commandant
(Colonel H.T. Bru-de-Wold) whose views, without professing to be in any way complete, and
admittedly based partly on those of his predecessors and other men, are briefly as follows: That
the Government should form one or more Native regiments drawn from the different tribes of Natal
and Zululand. Lads should be recruited at the age of fifteen or sixteen from the kraals of the most
respectable and influential Natives in a tribe. They should then be formed into a permanent force,
always to be kept in barracks. Each lad should be subject to long service, viz. 25, 30 or more
years.
A Native location, similar to that of Zwartkop in the neighbourhood of Pietermaritzburg, would be
suitable for the purpose. Permanent barracks should be erected in the location.
White officers, who should be married men and be most carefully selected, should reside in or
near the barracks with their wives. Only those should be chosen whose pride of race is highly
developed.
The Natives (non-commissioned officers and men) should be allowed to marry, and the
Government might assist them in finding their lobolo. They should, however, each be limited to
one wife. The location should be laid out in plots, conveniently situated, each married non-
commissioned officer or man having his house, with adjoining garden for growing any desired
minor articles, but the principal ration should be supplied by the Government, so that all would be
dependent entirely on the Government for their food. The married men should be allowed to keep
cattle for milk and to breed horses on their own account.
Any menial work, such as road-making, erecting buildings, etc., on the location should be done by
hired labour, and not by the Native soldiers. The men should, however, be required to keep their
respective dwelling-houses in repair. The reason for such provision is to keep up their pride as
soldiers, and not demean them by putting them on the same level as ordinary labourers.
After certain periods to be determined upon, those of good character might be permitted to go on
furlough, in the same way as any other Native in the service of the Government, when they would
receive remuneration in addition to soldier's pay.
The officers' wives would naturally take an interest in the wives of n.c.o.'s and men, and provide,
with the assistance of the State, for the education of the children. Thus the institution would, not
only subject the men to strict military discipline, but enable their children to be educated and
instructed in civilized ways of living. And so, in time, a separate class would be created on a small
scale, the members of which might be designated "The King's Men," whilst the boys growing up in
such environment would themselves become soldiers. A pride would be fostered in the men,
arising out of a consciousness of being superior to the ordinary tribes. Although, at the outset,
drawn from various tribes, they would gradually lose their tribal instincts and form a community of
their own. Such influences would probably be more potent and productive of good than any other
existing agency that could be named. But success would, it is felt, be dependent primarily on the
officers.

There are many other details which might have been touched on. Attention has been drawn to the
matter only because it seems wrong for the Government to refrain from identifying itself with an
aspiration which is, perhaps, more deeply rooted in the people than any other. If they are ever to
be trusted, why not make a beginning on some such lines as these? To go to them for assistance
in time of war, and yet turn our backs on them in time of peace is not worthy of our race. A people
that is prepared to shed, and has repeatedly shed, its blood for its rulers, is surely deserving of
more recognition than the occasional issue of medals to a few favoured individuals.
