HC Deb 18 March 1887 vol 312 c729
SIR ROBERT FOWLER (London)

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Zulus have now accepted the settlement made between Her Majesty's Government and the Boers of the New Republic, or whether their protests against the new boundary line still remain unrevoked?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)

I have heard nothing of a later date on the subject from Sir Arthur Havelock than his telegram of February 13, printed at page 101 of Parliamentary Paper C 4,980, saying that Mr. Osborn had received favourable answers from Dinzulu, Undabuko, and other Chiefs. The correspondence printed at the end of that Parliamentary Paper shows that the Zulus had had the situation fully explained to them; and I entertain little doubt that they now practically acquiesce in the general settlement as well as the boundary line.
