Part of Silas Thelensho Molema and Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje Papers
Has railed the machinery [for printing press] but had no money to cover costs; was successful in trying to raise money in Thaba Nchu and Kimberley; is disheartened especially as sympathetic Zulus bought them the machinery whereas the Tswana have been unable to raise money to support their own newspaper; Mr Msimang has arranged concerts in order to raise money; has heard no news from home and he dreads his return as he is penniless.
