Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa

CHAPTER 16
12/40

These wells have shades put over them in the form of little huts.
We crossed, in canoes, a little never-failing stream, which passes by the name of Lefuje, or "the rapid".

It comes from a goodly high mountain, called Monakadzi (the woman), which gladdened our eyes as it rose to our sight about twenty or thirty miles to the east of our course.

It is of an oblong shape, and seemed at least eight hundred feet above the plains.

The Lefuje probably derives its name from the rapid descent of the short course it has to flow from Monakadzi to the Leeba.
The number of little villages seemed about equal to the number of valleys.

At some we stopped and rested, the people becoming more liberal as we advanced.
