Scope and content
A few days ago he went with the Seleka Barolong of Thaba Nchu to see General Hertzog, a report of this visit to appear in the Tsala the forthcoming week; Hertzog is stubborn and although he sees the injustice he spares no pity for the natives; his motto is that now the English no longer dominate, the Afrikaner must be master in his land; despite their pleadings he is continuing to implement his segregation policy; on his return to Kimberley he found his printing works in a mess; the lack of capital retards the development of Tsala; deplores fact that the Tswana give no financial support whereas through their Fund they have given financial support to Mr Mashwa and Mr Moshueshue (Moshoeshoe); asks Molema to get a loan of 100 for him, to improve the machirery and provide a working capital to enable him to print a readable newspaper; in return he will send him ten bags of grain; regrets inability of Seleka and his people to communicate with and understand an interpreter.
