H. Rider Haggard. Indabezimbi "Mr. Alderman Fowler asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the British Resident at Pretoria had brought under the notice of the Transvaal Government the circumstances of an outrage committed in August last, by a party of Boers, on the person and property of a Kafir named Indabezimbi, who was at that time residing in Natal; and whether any steps had been taken by the authorities of the Transvaal either to institute a judicial inquiry into the matter, or to surrender the offenders to the Government of Natal.
The assaults and robbery took place, as near as I can say, about fourteen days ago." Gagaoola, also wife of Indabezimbi, states: "I have heard all that Nongena has told you. Her words are true; I was present when the assault and robbery took place." These statements were made to us at Hilldrop, Newcastle, Natal, on the Twenty-second of August, Eighteen hundred and eighty-one. A. H. D. Cochrane.
It must be remembered that the vast majority of such incidents are never heard of. The Kafirs suffer, and are still. The assault and robbery of Indabezimbi took place in Natal territory. Statement of Indabezimbi "I used to work on Mr. I took all my property with me.
"This statement was made by Indabezimbi at Hilldrop, Newcastle, Natal, on the Seventeenth of August, Eighteen hundred and eighty-one, in the presence of the undersigned witnesses. A. H. D. Cochrane. J. H. Gay Roberts. "N.B. The outrage of which Indabezimbi has here given an account occurred within a week of the present date, August 17th, 1881." Statement of the woman Nongena, Wife of Indabezimbi
The complainant is now a tenant of my own. When Indabezimbi appeared before Mr. Cochrane and myself, his appearance fully bore out his description of the assault made upon him. We did everything in our power to help him to recover his son and his property, but without effect.
"Mr. Courtney. On the 13th of October the British Resident reported that, according to promise, the Government has caused an investigation to be made at Utrecht, and informed him that the result was somewhat to invalidate the statement of Indabezimbi; but that the documents connected with the investigation at Utrecht would speedily be forwarded to him with a view to correspondence through him with the Natal Government.
