Excerpt from Botanical Survey of Natal and Zululand, 1921A journey was undertaken by us from Somkele, the terminus of the North Coast railway, line, to the Ingwavuma District, the most northerly in Zululand. The distance covered was approximately 100 miles north from Somkele. The means of transport was the only one possible in a country unoccupied by white settlers, viz., a wagon and a span of sixteen donkeys. Progress by this means is extremely slow, and more so since the road we followed is not a Government road, consequently receiving no attention from road-parties, and runs for a considerable distance through heavy sandy soil. Add to these circumstances the fact that fodder is unobtainable, and that in consequence considerable time has to be allowed each day for grazing which in mid-winter and along the road is hard to get and poor in quality - and it will scarcely be surprising that a day's journey rarely exceeds twelve miles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
