18th July 2005	Ngobozana By Stephen Coan When King Cetshwayo visited England in 1882 he was accompanied by three chiefs Mkhosana, Ngcongwana and Ngobozana. There are photographs of Mkhosana and Ngcongwana taken by Alex Bassano of 25 Old Bond St. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of one of Ngobozana? I am inquiring on behalf of his great-grandson.

The problem is usually lack of comprehensive captioning and, so, nameless faces. On another tack, have you tried approaching The Royal Archives at Windsor. MC McC
