| On the topic of The Ammunition Shortage I mentioned an account by Laguba Mbafa that id never heard of. Below is a newspaper article with the Zulu accounts compiled by Carl Faye. The various accounts, the deserter etc are all mixed together, Lagubas account is part of that repost but I cant separate it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Cheers |

| springbok I think you may have made an unwitting error here. I can account for all the quotations in this report. They all come from already-known, identified, and documented sources. There is nothing 'left over' that could belong to a 'Laguba Mbafa'. I'd gladly be wrong. Which part of the report were you thinking was his and what source have you got that says it is his? |

| Hi Julian The notation on the box (no8) in the Carl Faye collection attributes a statement to Laguba. But as I said above I have problems trying to separate/identify any parts of it. There is of course the possibility of duplication.

| Hi I see. So it existed but it does not appear to have been used in this NW report of 1928. |

| Hi Julian Im sure it did exist at some point. Inside the box was the name and a reference to this article. The article itself was then run down through the News Paper archives. So for whatever reason Carl Faye seemed to believe that he had used Laguba in the composition of the article. I have run the name through every archive search Ive been able, plus JS and come up blank. So there im afraid it must rest until another pointer turns up.

| Hi But might not the note in the box which referred to the article have been related to the other contents of box no. 8? It doesn't have to have referred to ALL the contents of the box. I've just been through the report again and there really isn't anything in it which isn't attributed elsewhere. Intriguing....Laguba must still be out there somewhere. |

| I agree, The note in the box was literally : laguba mBafa - Witness 21st Jan 28.
The contents list on the box was as below, exact. Newspaper articles by AT Bryant on Zulu history. An account of the Battle of Isandlwana by Laguba Mbafa. Sketch of military attack by the Zulu and list of regiments. Report and evidence connected with an enquiry to determine Usebepu's heir (1900). I do have the sketch of the military attack, just a general sketch showing the horns, chest reserve etc.
