Opsomming

Beskrywing
Afrikaans: Die illustrasie, "DINGAAN TUIS," op bladsy 209, stel die modus voor waarop 'n swart man sal dut. Die indiwidu wat hom neervly is die groot inboorlingmonarg, Dingaan, en die leser sal opmerk dat sy bed 'n blote biesiemat, en sy kussing slegs 'n houtbalk is. Die hut wat hier uitgebeeld word, is die gevierde een wat hy in sy garnisoenstad uMgungundlovu opgerig het. Dit word veral gekenmerk deur die twintig stutpale. Die herd van hierdie hut was ook opvallend weens die vorm daarvan. Instede van sirkelvormig, soos gebruiklik by die inboorlinge, was dit soortgelyk aan die ornament wat argitekte 'n vierpas noem. 'n Paar van sy vroue word regoor die binneruimte gesien, en siende dat Dingaan so 'n aanstaande man was kon hulle hier nie regop staan, of selfs hul voete enigsins gebruik nie. Diegene wat van een na 'n ander deel van die hut wou beweeg was verplig om op hul knieë oor te skuifel. Die illustrasie is geneem uit 'n skets van kaptein Gardiner wat deur Dingaan na 'n onderhoud in hierdie huis genooi is. Hiertydens het Dingaan sy gas vrywel verstom deur na 'n kort afwesigheid terug te keer met sy gesig, ledemate en liggaam oortrek met rooi en wit kolle, soos dié op speelgoedperde. Nadenke van hierdie tekening bied aan die leser 'n aanvaarbare idee van die lewenspeil van die wilde, ongekunstelde lewe wat sommige skrywers so graag aanprys.
English: (1.) DINGAN AT HOME (see page 207.)
The illustration, "Dingan at home," on page 209, represents the mode in which a Kaffir reposes. The individual who is reclining is the great Kaffir monarch, Dingan, and the reader will observe that his bed is a mere mat, and that his pillow is only a block of wood. The hut which is here represented is the celebrated one which he built at his garrison town Ukunginglove, and it was specially noted because it was supported by twenty pillars. The fireplace of this hut was remarkable for its shape, which, instead of being he simple circle in general use among the Kaffirs, resembled in form that ornament which is known to architects by the name of quatrefoil. A few of his wives are seen seated round the apartment, and, as Dingan was so great a man, they were not permitted to stand upright, or even to use the feet in any way, so that, of the wished to move from one part of the hut to another, they were obliged to shuffle about on their knees. The illustration is taken from a sketch by Captain Gardiner, who was invited by Dingan to an interview in the house, and during which interview he rather astonished his guest by retiring for a short time, and then presenting himself with his face, limbs, and body entirely covered with red and white spots, like those on toy horses. The reader can form, from the contemplation of this drawing, a tolerably accurate idea of the luxuries afforded by the wild, savage life which some authors are so fond of praising.
IsiZulu: Umfanekiso othi, Dingan ekhaya, ekhasini 209, umelela indlela umuntu omnyama alala ngayo. Umuntu ohlezi etafuleni yinkosi enkulu yase-Afrika, u-Dingan, futhi umfundi uzoqaphela ukuthi umbhede wakhe umata nje, nokuthi umcamelo wakhe uwukhuni kuphela. Iqhugwane elimelwe lapha yilelo elidumile alakha edolobheni lakubo i-Unginglove, futhi laliphawuleka ngokukhethekile ngoba lalisekelwe izinsika ezingamashumi amabili. Indawo yomlilo yaleli qhugwane yayiphawuleka ngokuma kwayo, okwathi, esikhundleni sokuthi ibe yindilinga nje evamile phakathi kwabantu abamnyama, ifane nesimo salowo mhlobiso owaziwa ngabakhi bezakhiwo ngegama le-quatrefoil. Amakhosikazi akhe ambalwa abonakala ehlezi ezungeza indlu, futhi, njengoba uDingan wayeyindoda enkulu kangaka, babengavunyelwe ukuma baqonde, noma ngisho nokusebenzisa izinyawo nganoma iyiphi indlela, ukuze, ofisa ukuphuma kwenye ingxenye yeqhugwane baye kwelinye, baphoqeleka ukuthi banyakaze beguqe ngamadolo. Umfanekiso uthathwe emdwebeni kaKapteni Gardiner, owamenywa uDingan kwinhlolokhono eyayisendlini, okwathi phakathi nenhlolokhono wamangaza isivakashi sakhe ngokuthatha umhlalaphansi isikhashana, wabe eseziveza ubuso bakhe, izitho nemilenze umzimba umbozwe ngokuphelele amachashaza abomvu namhlophe, njengalawo amahhashi amathoyizi. Umfundi angakwazi ukwakha, ngokucabanga ngalo mdwebo, umqondo onembe ngokubekezeleleka wezinto eziwubukhazikhazi ezitholakala ngempilo yasendle, enonya abanye ababhali abathanda ukuyincoma.

me. In this point they aid themselves by the violent gestures in which they indulge. A Kaffir differs from an European vocalist in this point, namely, that he always, if possible, sits down when he sings. He and his companions will squat in a circle, sometimes three or four rows deep, and will shout some well-known song at the top of their voices, sway- of course, the quality of a Kaffir's voice is not that which would please an European vocalist. Like all uncultivated songsters, the Kaffir delights in strong contrasts, now using a high falsetto, and now dropping suddenly into a gruff bass. It is a very remarkable fact that this method of managing the voice is tolerably universal throughout the world, and that the accomplished vocalist of Kaffirland, of China, of Japan, of Persia, and of Arabia, sings with exactly that falsetto voice, that nasal twang, and that abrupt transition from the highest to the lowest notes, which characterize our uneducated singers in rural districts.

In the specimens of music which have been given, the reader will notice in several places the sudden rise or drop of a whole octave, and also the curiously jerking effect of many passages, both eminently characteristic of music as performed in country villages where modern art has not modified the voice. The musical instruments of the Kaffir are very few, and those of the most simple kind. One is the whistle that is often diverted from its normal duty as a mere whistle, to become a musical instrument, which, although it has no range of notes, can at all events make itself heard through any amount of vocal accompaniment. And, as a Kaffir thinks that a song is no
