ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I should like to acknowledge the
assistance given to me by the following organizations and individuals in the
compilation of the text and photographs for this book. Firstly, my thanks go
to the KwaZulu-Natal Nature Conservation Service (Natal Parks Board), for
allowing me such generous access to the material in its archives. I should
also like to thank individual Conservation Service officers for their help in
this regard and, in particular, Dr George Hughes, Jeff Gaisford, Graham Keet,
Warden of Mkhuze and Rita Erasmus.
The Natal Branch of the South African Archives in Pietermaritzburg was most
helpful in locating government files on Mkhuze, dating back as far as 1914. I
am also indebted to David Swanepoel, Manager, Library and Information Services
of the Agricultural Research Council of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute
for his considerable assistance in locating appropriate information and
photographs of the Mkhuze Nagana campaign.
In my search for historical photographs the following were particularly
helpful: Tony Pooley, Fred Essenwein and Lorna Peirson. The photographs that
they so kindly made available were copied and enlarged by Nic Ruddiman, who
also made digital copies of various colour transparencies used in my draft
text. My grateful thanks go to Diane Scott, Mark Astrup and Derek Potter for
their meticulous proofreading of the text and to Rob Scott and Dr Peter
Goodman for their useful suggestions.
