David Grey Rattray was born on 6 September 1958 in Johannesburg. Educated at St Alban’s College in Pretoria, he went on to the University of Natal in Pietermaritzburg to read entomology, graduating in 1982. His interest in the history of the Zulu people was kindled by his childhood visits to the battlefields with his father Peter, a former lawyer, and discussions with legendary pioneer farmers like George Buntting. More importantly, his contact with Zulu inhabitants in the areas close to Fugitives’ Drift and Isandlwana, armed with their oral evidence of the battles, enthralled and fascinated him. With the help of his lifelong friend and mentor, Mzunjani ‘Satchmo’ Mpanza, he became a fluent Zulu linguist.
