Abstract
Lantern slide displaying the view on alcohol of the South African chief of the Shona peoples
"A greta Chief's Plea
'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,a nd not against men. I dread the white man's drink more than all the assegais of the Matabele ... I pray your Honour never to ask me to open even a little door to the drink.'"
