‘Writing from Cape Town in February 1900, Kipling observes ‘that the
Cape Town Clubs are not quite so full of members who personally shot
Colley at Majuba-and two years ago there were several. In many small
ways ... it seems as though there is growing, if not toleration, at least a
certain respect for Englishmen. The contempt, at all events, is less open
... Dimly and distantly Cape Town realises that that thing called the
British Government is now in earnest.’’
Richards A167.
‘This essay or open letter, first printed as a signed article in both ‘The
Times’ of London and ‘The Mail’ of Cape Town (for which both
newspapers made payment) on 15 March 1900 under the title ‘The
Exposure of the Cape Population’, inveighs against the supposedly
friendly or Neutral Boers and their liberal sympathizers as “traitors” to
the Cape and Orange Free State; the piece was reprinted in New York in
the supplement to ‘Harper’s Weekly’ for 17 March 1900 ...’
