"Each corps or regiment, possessing its own military kraal, has the following officers : one commanding officer (called the induna yesibaya 'sikulu), one second in command (called the induna yohlangoti), who directly commands the left wing, and two wing officers called the induna yesicamelo yesibaya 'sikulu, and the induna yesicamelo yohlangoti. Besides the above there are company officers, consisting of a captain and from one to three junior officers, all of whom are of the same age as the men they command, while in the case of a corps the C.O. of each regiment composing it takes rank next to its four great officers when he is himself not of them.”
