It's about time this came out. 1st Class, no doubt will lead to many discussions.

Interesting but a bit disappointing.

Comes back to the same question really. If the attack was scheduled for the 23rd, the ritualy doctoring, drugs et al would not have taken place till then. Therefore if it was all a suprise caused by the discovery of the impi by Raw then the drugs would not have been taken, no time for it. So if we are going to accept Credo Mutwa at face vallue and say the impi was drugged then per se the battle would have been planned for the 22nd.
Nice to watch though.
Regards

Springbok putts forward another case to say the Zulus intended to attack on the 22nd.
What I would like to know, is what did they do with the fragments of bone they were putting into the plastic bags. We're they re-buried.( Which they should have been out of respect. Or do they reside In a museum somewhere.

I just wonder if the out-come would have been the same if they had been high as kites on these drugs.

I found an electronic copy of this online a few years ago - I'm sure it's still out there if you look hard enough.
Not sure if I trust what the old Witch Doctor says, from memory didn't he sell the producers his secret herbs and then they took them to a lab to be tested?

I think those were the remains of the bones found with the button some years ago.

Cisco Traditional Healer is the PC title. Credo Mutwa is a pretty famous man in SA, I actually have a copy of his book. Still he did come across as a bit dodgy :lol: Dave Could very well be but knowing the reverence held by Ian Knight I would assume that the bones were re buried.
