nofootnotes date February 2011 Image Amathole Logo.jpg thumb right Logo of the Amathole Museum Huberta was a hippopotamus and one of the most famous animal s in South Africa n history. In November 1928 Huberta left her Depression geology waterhole in the St. Lucia Estuary in Zulu Kingdom Zululand and set off on the 1600 km 1000 mi journey to the Eastern Cape , a journey which would take her three years. In that time Huberta became a minor celebrity in South Africa and attracted crowds wherever she went. She was initially thought to be a male and was nicknamed Hubert by the press. She stopped for a while at the mouth of the Mhlanga River in Natal Province Natal and a failed attempt was made to capture her and put her in Johannesburg Zoo . After this she headed south to Durban where she visited a beach and a country club . Moving on to the Umgeni River she became revered by Zulus and Xhosas alike. Finally she arrived in East London, South Africa East London in March 1931. Despite her having been declared Royal Game and thus protected by the Natal Provincial Council, she was shot by hunters a month later. After a public outcry the hunters were arrested and fined 25. Huberta s body was recovered and sent to a taxidermist in London . Upon her return to South Africa in 1932 she was greeted by 20,000 people and can now be seen in the Amathole Museum in King William s Town . Huberta is the subject of the children s book Hubert The Traveling Hippopotamus by Edmund Lindop and illustrated by Jane Carlson. The book was published in 1961 by Little, Brown and Company .

As of 2010, no specimen of the Umdhlebi has ever been recovered, and other than 19th century anecdotal evidence no further verification is known to exist. Characteristics The Umdhlebi is described as having large, fragile green leaves, and two layers of bark a dead outer layer that hung off the tree, and a new living layer that grew beneath it. The fruit of the tree was reported to be red and black, and to hang from branches like small poles. Effects Parker said the Umdhlebi poisoned animals that approached so that the natural process of decay would fertilize the soil in which it was growing. Symptoms of the tree s poison reportedly included headache and bloodshot eyes, followed by delirium and then death. Parker never identified the source or nature of its poison, but hypothesized that it secreted a poisonous gas from the soil around its roots.

He succeeded his father Cetshwayo , who was the last king of the Zulus to be officially recognized as such by the United Kingdom British . Zulu Kingdom Zululand had been broken up into 13 smaller territories after the Anglo Zulu War , and Cetshwayo , and subsequently Dinuzulu, administered one of them. The British later realized the futility of breaking up Zululand into the territories and restored Cetshwayo as paramount leader of the territories. However, they left one of Cetshwayo s sons, Usibepu Zibhebhu , alone with his lands intact. On July 22, 1883 he attacked Cetshwayo s new kraal in Ulundi, wounding the king and causing him to flee. Dinuzulu s volunteers To contest the succession Dinuzulu first appealed to the British, but had no response. He then offered rewards of land to Boer mercenaries who would come and fight on his side. In 1884 a group of Boer farmers from the districts of Utrecht and Vryheid undertook to restore order, in return for land for the formation of an independent republic. Led by General Louis Botha , they formed Dinuzulu s Volunteers and after several clashes with Zibhebhu, defeated him at the Battle of Ghost Mountain also known as the Battle of Tshaneni on June 5, 1884, killing Zibhebhu and his forces to the last man. The mercenaries then claimed payment and Dinuzulu found himself confronted with demands he could not meet. 800 mercenaries claimed to have fought for him and all claimed large farms. They claimed about half of Zululand, including St Lucia Bay, an outlet to the sea. Britain intervened and the mercenaries were given a grant of land in the northern part of Zululand. 500 mercenaries each received a farm of 16 km .
