Abstract
"I fear Lobengula" he said "less than I fear brandy. I fought Lobengula ... and drove him back, and he never came again ... But to fight against drink is to fight against demons, and not against men. I dread the white man's drink more than all the assegais of the Matebele ... I pray your Honour never to ask to open even a little door to the drink."
This lantern slide shows a Shona chief claiming that he fears his Matabele counterpart less than he fears the white man’s drink.
