BLACKS BOERS & BRITISH A three-cornered problem

An account of conditions in South Africa before the 1881 Transvaal War. As a former editor of the Natal Witness (1877-1879), the writer shows real insight when discussing the aspirations of Blacks, Boers and British. It is possible that if his criticism of the Colonial Office in London had been seriously considered, the Boer War might have been avoided.
