It is the buried hoard of Lobengula, Lo-bengula, the Zulu warrior who founded; found-ed; the Matabele nation, challenged the British might In 1S'J2 and met with defeat. A Johannesburg business man who has already made six attempts to trace the buried treasure, will make a final attempt. The story of the treasure treas-ure has been told by John Jacobs, Lo-bengula's Lo-bengula's one-time "secretary." Lo-bengula Lo-bengula ordered that his ivory and two safes containing a store of dia- t monds and gold packed In tins were to be rushed into the bush. The leaders lead-ers of the party were Lobengula, Jacobs, Ja-cobs, four indunas (native officers), and 14 Matabele, who dug the holes in which the treasure was hidden. One night on their return, Lobengula ordered the indunas to slay all who had taken part in the burial. All save Jacobs and the indunas were as-segaied. |
