It is this all white men that if indeed you travel so far, I would travel with you. There was a certain assumption of dignity in the man's mode of speech and especially in his use of the words oh white men instead of oh in or chiefs which struck me. You forget yourself a little. I said your words run out unawares. That is not the way to speak. What is your name? And where is your crow? Tell us that we may know with whom we have to deal. My name is Oppa. I am of the Zulu people yet not of them. The house of my tribe is in the far north. It was left behind when the Zulus came down here 1000 years ago, long before Chaka reigned in Zululand. I have no crowd. I have wandered for many years. I came from the north as a child to Zululand. I was set Ao's man in the basi regiment serving there under the great captain Slobo Gai of the ax who taught my hands to fight afterwards. I ran away from Zululand and came to Natal because I wanted to see the White man's ways next, I fought against set a in the war since then. I have been working in Natal. Now I am tired and would go north again. Here is not my place. I want no money, but I'm a brave man and I'm worth my place and me, I have spoken.
