[31] Chiefs were called on by Magistrates to supply labourers according to the size of their tribes.
[32] Zululand was annexed to Natal in December, 1897, when practically the same system of Native administration in vogue at that time was permitted to continue.
[33] The statistics here given are for the year 1906.

[38] The word "kraal" which will henceforth be used, is derived from the Dutch "coraal."
[39] For many years past, many Chiefs had portions of their tribes living in two, three or more Magisterial divisions. In such cases, a Chief was called on to nominate a headman, with powers almost equal to his own, to control each section. It was, moreover, the Government's policy, on the death of such Chief, to make an arrangement whereby the outlying sections would be absorbed by Chiefs actually resident in the Magisterial districts in which such sections happened to be.
[40] Zululand, with a Native population of about 170,000, became, as has been seen, a province of Natal in 1897.
