"Now, Saduko," went on Panda, "because you are your father's son, and because you have shown yourself a man, although you are still little in the land, I am minded to advance you. Therefore I give to you the chieftainship over those who remain of the Amakoba and over all of the Amangwane blood whom you can gather." "Bayéte! As the King pleases," said Saduko.
When these preliminaries were finished, Panda addressed the princes, saying: "My sons, I have sent for you to ask your counsel upon a certain matter not a large matter, but one that may grow." And he paused to take snuff, whereon both of them ejaculated: "We hear you, Father."
He did so, and then I opened talk with the Boers, and more especially with that Boer who was named Ungalunkulu, or Great Arm. I showed the Boer that Dingaan was wicked and not to be believed, but Panda was faithful and good. The end of it was that the Boers and Panda made war together on Dingaan. Yes, I made that war that we might be revenged on Dingaan.
"O King, I have told you that I will go though I do not like war and I will keep my promise," I replied. "Then make ready, Macumazahn, and be back here within an hour, for the regiment marches ere noon." So I went up to my wagons and handed them over to the care of some men whom Panda had sent to take charge of them.
When I began to get better, Scowl and some Zulu friends who came to see me informed me that the whole land was in a fearful state of disorder, and that Umbelazi's adherents, the Isigqosa, were still being hunted out and killed. It seems that it was even suggested by some of the Usutu that I should share their fate, but on this point Panda was firm.
Corpus Christi in the county of Nuaces, and all the cities situated on the Rio Bravo, Laredo, Comalites, San Ignacio in Web, Rio Grande city in Starr, Edinburgh in Hidalgo, Santa-Rita, El Panda, and Brownsville in Cameron, formed a powerful league against the pretensions of Florida.
"You keep so many wizards at your kraal, King," he said, addressing Panda, "that it is hard to say which of them wrought this deed. It would have been easier to tell you of greater matters. Yet I have taken your fee, and I must earn it I must earn it. Dust, you are dumb.
Yes, it was not I who spoke, but Fate. The Angel of Doom used my throat as his trumpet. Seeing that Panda dozed, I slipped behind Saduko and gripped him by the arm. "Are you mad?" I whispered into his ear. "Will you throw away your fortune, and your life also?" "But Mameena," he whispered back. "I would marry none save Mameena." "Fool!" I answered. "Mameena has betrayed and spat upon you.
Then suddenly Panda appeared out of his hut, accompanied by a few servants, and seemed to utter some kind of prayer, as he did so throwing dust or powdered medicine towards us, though what this ceremony meant I did not understand. When he had finished Maputa raised a spear, whereon the whole regiment, in perfect time, shouted out the royal salute, "Bayéte", with a sound like that of thunder.
If you knew not Chaka, you and he have seen the same suns shine, you knew his brother Panda and his captains, and perhaps even that very Mopo who tells this tale, his servant, who slew him with the Princes.
