Amakosa Fingoe Man, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Amakosa Fingoe Man, 1850. The Amakosa Fingoe Man belongs to a tribe rescued by the British troops from the bondage of the Kaffirs, in the war of 1834-35. They have ever since enjoyed perfect tranquility and freedom, in districts allotted to them, within the pale of British dominion. The history and condition of this people excited very great interest. It appears that "Fingoe" is not their natural appellation, but a reproachful epithet, denoting extreme poverty and misery - a person having no claim to justice, mercy, or even life. They are the remnants of eight powerful nations, which have been destroyed or driven out of their country by the destructive wars carried on amongst the natives of the interior. Five of these nations were destroyed by the cruel Matiwana, and the rest by the notorious Zoolu chief Chaka, or some of the tribes tributary to him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
