 Sir Theophilus Shepstone - LoveToKnow 1911
SIR THEOPHILUS SHEPSTONE (1817-1893), British South African statesman, was born at Westbury near Bristol, England, on the 8th of January 1817.
In the Kaffir War of 1835 he served as headquarters interpreter on the staff of the governor, Sir Benjamin D'Urban, and at the end of the campaign remained on the frontier as clerk to the agent for the native tribes.
Shepstone remained in Pretoria as administrator of the Transvaal until January 1879; his rule was marked, according to Sir Bartle Frere, who described him as "a singular type of an Africander Talleyrand," by an "apparent absence of all effort to devise or substitute a better system" than that which had characterized the previous regime.

Frere was strongly of opinion that the bolder was the better course, and he urged his views on Sir John Moore with an urgent and fearless persistency that on one occasion at least overstepped the limits of his commission.

 Sir Henry Bartle Frere, 1st Baronet - Definition, explanation

Owing to the Kaffir and Zulu wars, Sir Bartle had been unable to give his undivided attention to the state of things in the Transvaal until April 1879, when he was at last able to visit a camp of about 4,000 disaffected Boers near Pretoria.
