TWO ICONIC PHOTOS DURING KING CETSHWAYO CORONATION

 

As many as Ten thousand warriors were present at Cetshwayo’s coronation but only sticks were permitted to be carried, assegais being strictly forbidden.

Men of Shepstone’s escort, carbineers and gunners, relax in camp close to the Umbambongwenga kraal where the coronation ceremony was performed. (Local History Museum, Durban)
