Cetshwayo desired only to coexist with the white settlers. In 1873, he submitted to a mock ceremony at which the Cape Colony's Secretary for Native Affairs, in the name of Queen Victoria, placed a tinsel crown on his royal brow.

They merely bolster the evidence that Western man's greatest story has yet to be greatly told on film...
...toad in his mouth. If the toad jumped down the patient's throat, he was clearly a malingerer. If not, he was truly a victim of that all too common African malady, nightmare. The toad stayed put, so Dr. Thuita smeared acacia gum across the patient's brow, slapped on a dried snakeskin, and advised him to take a long swim. Prognosis: excellent...
