To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Man}' of them are very wealthy, owning cattle and corn equivalent to several thousands of pounds in value. Besides the native reserve lands, many Kaffirs squat on the farms of the Boers, where they are allowed to cultivate on the S3'stem of giving the owner half the produce of the crop ; they ma}^ also graze so many head of cattle, one of the conditions being that they must work for the Boer when required without wages or other payment. Some of these Kaffirs by industrj^ become almost as rich a...s their masters, that is when they receive fair treatment and are not robbed. Unfortunately for the reputation of the Boer people, while the majority treat their Kaffirs honestly and kindl}^, many isolated cases of injustice and cruelty used to occur. The circumstances of many of these cases have already been pub- lished in England, and it is unnecessary here to repeat them further than to vouch once more for the facts. Since the beginning of 1901, in the prosecution of their guerilla warfare, the Boers have been showing increased cruelty to the natives ; there is the flogging and shooting of the man Esau at Calvinia, the cold-blooded murder of un- armed natives at Modderfontein and in the Magaliesberg, and the herding of a lot of terrified railway bo3's into a gravel pit at Taaibosch, when the captors amused themselves by firing over them after killing one and wounding another.
