		The white settlers in Zoutpansberg had for many years a reputation for lawlessness, and were later regarded as typical "back velt Boers".

		But during the long journey to the Zoutpansberg and Delagoa Bay, Karel (or Carolus as his father preferred to call him) was so undeveloped that he strikes us as an erratic and conceited young man whose poor powers of observation, incidentally, several times landed the entire company in trouble.
		For here Tregardt encountered `the fly that stung the cattle to death', and he now learned from the local natives and from the Buys folk he had met that the veld both north and east of the mountains was badly infested with tsetse fly.
		But I will go back to the Zoutpansberg and bring my women, wagons and all my cattle and leave them in your care at this kraal while I go off to seek my companions.' Sagana was delighted at the prospect of more loot and he happily agreed to Tregardt's proposal.

	The Venda
		In the latter part of the 1950's, there were about 275,000 Venda in the Republic of South Africa, and most of them lived in the Reserves or on European-owned farms in and around the Zoutpansberg Mountains of the Northern Transvaal, in the districts of Louis Trichardt and Sibasa.
		Accurate figures were not available, but probably less than ten per cent had made permanent homes in the towns, though there were of course many who left Vendaland for several months every year, to work in the cities and towns of the Transvaal.
		There was no paramount chief: each tribe was ruled by an independent chief, who had under him headmen and petty headmen, responsible for the government of districts within the tribal territory.

		The very attractive landscape is determined by the mountains of the Zoutpansberg, which take their course from east to west through the middle of this area.
		South to this mountain-range there is during the two rainy seasons enough humidity for a rich vegetation and farming: mango- and avocado-plantations, tea-plantations as well as cattle-keeping and growing of corn and vegetables.
		North to the Zoutpansberg it is very dry; the vegetation is poor and people are taking the greatest pain to make a living by keeping some goats and cultivate small gardens alongside the rivers.

		The Transvaal was full of lusty little high-mettled communities, who quarreled among themselves as fiercely as they had done with the authorities at the Cape.
		Lydenburg, Zoutpansberg, and Potchefstroom were on the point of turning their rifles against each other.
		In the south, between the Orange River and the Vaal, there was no form of government at all, but a welter of Dutch farmers, Basutos, Hottentots, and halfbreeds living in a chronic state of turbulence, recognising neither the British authority to the south of them nor the Transvaal republics to the north.

		However implausible this may seem, the transaction at least gave some semblance of legality to Potgieter's claim to have become lord and master of this first large section of the high veld.
		Ohrigstad looking now like a ghost town was left to its quarrels and the supporters of Kootjie Burger, and presently they too abandoned the place in favour of a healthier site thirty miles away which they called Lydenburg—the place of suffering -in memory of all the tribulations they had experienced.
		In any case Potgieter was preparing at the time for his move to the Zoutpansberg and this absorbed his interest, but of course the strained relations between the two men gave the situation a slant of its own and may have been at least partly responsible for `Ou Blauberg's' unhelpful (and to Afrikaners, unpatriotic) attitude.
