During the 1940s I spoke to an old man at the place the Zulus called "kwa Zimu" - the place of Jim (Jim O'Rourke). He carried his father's sleeping mat and food. He told me that he ran away because the red soldiers were killing them, but he carried his father's spirit home on a certain twig.

What a wonderful story to be able to tell. Not many can say they've spoken to someone who was actually there! Thank you so much for sharing.
