;) ;) ;) | BULWER, Natal postal history printed green flap with King's Crown/NP/NONGQAI of the Native Police on KE7 1d rate cover to Miss Jeune, South Hampstead, London dated AU 8 10. Fort Nongqai, situated on the outskirts of the town of Eshowe, was built to serve as the headquarters of the Zululand Native Police. This small force was established in 1883 to serve as a bodyguard to the then Resident Commissioner Sir Melmoth Osborne. The small force, initially just 50 men, was known to the Zulus as nongqai and hence the fort was given the name Fort Nongqai. £75 |
