		Because of Shepstone's skill in maintaining the peace, the new colonial secretary, Lord Carnarvon (who was anxious to federate the South African territories), called him as a consultant to a London conference on South African affairs in 1876.

		Shepstone retired from public life in 1880, but later he agreed to serve briefly as administrator (1884) in Zululand, where the natives called him “Somtseu” (white father).

	HE POWERS OF SHAKA ZULU AND THE LIMITS OF HISTORICAL INVENTION
		Next, Hamilton looks at Theophilus Shepstone, the central figure in the 19th century administration of Natal, who deftly used pageantry and politics to transform himself into a new "Shaka," but was resisted by the Usuthu faction of King Cetswayo.
		Shepstone's deeply contradictory views closely anticipated Frederick Lugard's in Northern Nigeria; both men were constrained in the very terms of their understandings of the possible mechanisms of "indirect rule" by indigenous practices.
		Shepstone's views then influenced H. Rider Haggard--while Haggard drew on the same sources that informed Shepstone--producing the popular association between tyranny, "effectiveness," and racial origin (the Zulu were "intrinsically noble"), especially in Haggard's post Anglo-Zulu war (1879-81) fiction.

		News arrived that troops were marching towards, and massing on, Theophilus sought not to alleviate the anxieties of the Government, nor to quell the now rising alarm amongst the people; he simply sat still and listened, watching the writhings and stragglings of the doomed Volksraad, and awaiting a favourable moment to end its existence.
		In justice to Shepstone, I must say that I would not consider an officer of my Government to have acted faithfully if he had not done what Shepstone did; and if the act was wrong (which undoubtedly it was), not he, but his Government, is to blame for it.

		This rash step was to lead to the first Anglo-Boer War in 1880-1, but its immediate effect was to involve the British (and particularly Shepstone) in the Boers’ frontier disputes with the Zulus, which were exacerbated by a terrible drought in 1877.
