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.
