| Description |
"INTERIOR OF A NATIVE HUT, NATAL This remarkable residence has at any rate, the merit of space; and though the roof is low, the extent of ground covered is large. The hearth is in the centre, the smoke finding its way out as it best can. The floor of hardened earth is serviceable enough, though evidently in want of repair. The amount of household goods stowed along the edge of the hut indicates that the owner is well-to-do, and is probably a chief. Although the natives form the large majority of the population of Natal, the 'Native question' does not present as many difficulties as in some other parts of South Africa, owing to the fact that the number of natives is limited, and that the Transvaal forms a valuable barrier against the entry of new-comers from the west and north-west." |
