He had worked previously on the railway as timekeeper and later as telegraph operator. At Lovedale he entered the students’ classes in January, 1881. In the second year he obtained the seventy-fourth certificate of competency at the Elementary Teachers’ Examination. He became teacher in the Edwards Memorial School, Port Elizabeth. His school was said to stand high in the classification of schools of the district in efficiency. After some years he tired of the teaching profession, and having saved some money, resigned in order to become a business man. He bought property at East London, Port Elizabeth and Kingwilliamstown, and opened stores as merchant and hotel proprietor. At Kingwilliamstown his property was conspicuous, being a double storey building and known as the Temperance Hotel. In a very short time the Temperance Hotel was known through the Cape Province. Paul Xiniwe took a very keen interest in the welfare of his people. An upright man, honest gentleman, and a thorough Christian and a staunch temperance apostle.

He married a Miss Ndwanya, sister of Mr. Ndwanya, a law agent who was respected by Europeans and natives at Middle-drift. Mr. Xiniwe was the father of five children. The eldest son, Mr. B. B. Xiniwe, was a law agent at Stutterheim for a number .of years; the second son is in Johannesburg; the third, a daughter, Frances Mabel Maud, is the wife of the editor of this book; the fourth, another daughter, Mercy, is the wife of Mr. Ben. Tyamzashe, a schoolmaster and an author; and the youngest son, Mr. G. Xiniwe, is a clerk in a solicitor’s office, Kingwilliamstown. Mr. Paul Xiniwe died at an early age leaving a widow and five children to look after themselves. Mrs. Xiniwe who, with her husband, had been to Europe as a member of a native choir, was a lady of .experience, tact, character and business acumen. Difficult though it was, she maintained her late husband’s property, and carried on the business and educated her children. This lady indeed commanded the respect of all who knew her, white and black. Paul Xiniwe was a man of his word. He swore he would never touch liquor. When he became very ill his doctor advised him to take a little brandy, but he made up his mind that he would not do so, although it was said brandy was the only thing that would save his life.

PRINCE GWAYI TYAMZASHE was ! born at Blinkwater in the district of Fort Beaufort on the 22nd of January, 1844. He was the eldest son of Tyam. zashe; Tyamzashe, the son of Mejana, son of Oya, of the Rudulu clan, cornmonly known as the Mangwevu. Gwayi as a boy saw all the horrors of the early Kaffir Wars, and was with his mother, Nontsi, during the terrible Nongqause cattle-killing episode, while his father Tyamzashe was a head councillor at the King’s Court. At that time Sandile was the Paramount Chief of the Xosa Tribe.

After the great armed protest of the Xosas, under Sandile and his brother Anta, Gwayi and his parents became detached from the main fighting body and eventually fell into the hands of the missionaries at Dr. Love’s mission station-now known as Lovedale. The late Mr. Goven was then in charge of the mission and he soon induced the raw native fugitives to be converted. Govan actually went so far as to pay those natives who attended infant classes. Gwayi Tyamzashe liked these classes. He was followed by many other natives. The signs of progress moved quickly. Messrs. Smith and James Stewart came to Lovedale, and Gwayi and his friends soon found themselves on the highway to civilisation and education. At all times Lovedale was open to all classes of pupils, and Gwayi found himself rubbing shoulders with European pupils, amongst whom were William Henry Solomon (late Chief Justice of the Union of South Africa), his brother, Richard Solomon, Schreiner, Grimmer and others.

Soon Gwayi qualified as a teacher and taught for some years at Gqumahashe, a village just across the Tyumie River. Just at that time Tiyo Soga was reading for theology in Scotland. This caused Gwayi to leave teaching and return to Lovedale for theology. Before doing so, however, he went in for a University examination in which Latin, Greek and Hebrew were essential subjects. This examination was above the ordinary matriculation. It was a red-letter day at Lovedale when Gwayi Tyamzashe passed this examination; flags were hoisted and the day was proclaimed a exam holiday.

Gwayi completed his Theological Course in 1874 and was immediately called to the Diamond Fields. In 1884 Gwayi and his family, consisting of his wife and three children, James, Henry and Catherine, left Kimberley for the wild north-Zoutpansberg. His journey to that part of the country was a heart-breaking one; the story of which would fill a volume. Leaving Kimberley with two ox-wagons, several milch cows and a pair of horses, he slowly made his way north. There were no roads to speak of; the country was unexploed as yet; the drifts across the rivers were mere sluits and no bridges existed anywhere; the country was still wild, and, worst of all, the Dutchmen, who occupied the Transvaal, were hostile towards the black races. When Gwayi and his caravan arrived on the Witwatersrand-as Johannesburg was then called-he was arrested for having no ” pass.” He was handcuffed behind his back and hurried off to Pretoria in front of four fiery horses of the “Zarps” (Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek Poliese). His wife, however, hurried over to Pretoria and personally interviewed Oom Paul (President Paul Kruger) whereupon Gwayi was not only released, but also given a free pass to his destination.

At Zoutpansberg Gwayi Tyamzashe opened a number of mission stations which exist to this day. He lived at Zoutpansberg for six years, and on being called back to Kimberley, he returned to the Diamond Fields. It was, however, a different Gwayi that arrived at Kimberley. He was physically a mere shadow of the former Gwayi, owing to a relentless attack of asthma which he contracted in the damp and marshy country of the Zoutpansberg. He lingered for six years in Kimberley and died on the 25th October, 1896. Prior to his death he had a serious case against the European Church Union which culminated in victory for him in the Supreme Court at Capetown.

Mankulumane, son of Somapunga Ndwandwa Nxumalo, was a descendant of the King Zwide, who fought and was defeated by Tshaka, and migrated to the Portuguese East Territory and there established his kingdom. Mankulumane’s father did not follow his lord to the Portuguese Territory but preferred to remain in Zululand. There Mankulumane was born and brought up. As a boy he was very bright and showed signs of leadership. As he grew to manhood he became more xnd more influential. He became a warrior and then a councillor at the Royal Kraal, and during the reign of King Cetywayo of Zululand, he became Prime Minister. This office he held during the reign of Dinizulu and also that of the present Zulu Ruler, Solomon Ka Dinizulu.
Mankulumane, who had 30 wives, enjoyed the confidence of all the Zulus, and was looked upon by all Zulu chiefs as a father. He was a wise old man and nothing could be settled by the Zulu National Council without first obtaining his sanction. Though uneducated, all important matters between the Zulu chiefs and the Union Government were submitted to him by the Paramount Chief, Solomon Ka Dinizulu before any definite step was taken. He died in Johannesburg Hospital in December, 1925, and was taken back to his home in Zululand to be interred alongside his father.

King Dinizulu, son of Cetywayo, King of the Zulu Nation, and father of Ingwenyalna Solomon Ka Dinizulu, was born at a critical time in South African history. Europeans had already firmly estabIished themselves as the rulers of South Africa, with a consequent loss of power and prestige to native South African rulers, the magnitude of which was only being realised when it fell to Dinizulu’s lot to succeed his father, Cetywayo, as King of the Zulus. Cetywayo himself having fought many battles to retain his independence and sovereignity.Dinizulu himself was to suffer like his father. When Bambata’s rebellion broke out it was likely to prove a great danger to the security of the Europeans. It was well known that though the Zulus had been vanquished, they still cherished a hope of one day becoming independent, and re-establishing their authority in the Iand. It was alleged by some people that Dinizulu was aiding and abetting and secretly assisting Bambata. This led to his arrest for high treason, and, although he had the most able lawyers in the country to defend him, and was assisted by Bishop Colenso, Miss Colenso and others, he was found guilty. Before being tried Dinizulu and his chief induna, Cakijane, were sent under escort to Port Shepstone. The preliminaries of the case were tried at Greytown, but the actual trial was at Pietermaritzburg. He was banned for life and sent to Middleburg, Transvaal, where he died. Bambata, whose surname was Zondi, was a petty chief in the Grey-town District, Natal. It was his armed protest against the Poll Tax levied by the Natal Government that sent Dinizulu into exile.
Dinizulu was a well built man, tall, with broad shoulders. He wore a heavy beard, had bright brown eyes and his appearance commanded respect.
