November 01, 1861
IKWEZI (translated to "Morning Star"), Esidumbini, November, 1861
This newspaper was printed at the Esidumbini Mission Station, Natal, South Africa. Very little can be found about this title, one website noting that a magazine titled "Ikwezi" was begun in 1844. This issue notes in the dateline "Vol. 1 No. 8" and yet is dated 1861. These may have been two different publications.
Printed totally in the Zulu language save for part of a back page column headed: "English And Zulu Phrases" and mention at the bottom of the back page: "Printed at the Esidumbini Mission Station".
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed with wide margins, 9 by 10 3/4 inches, wear at the margins and the folds with archival mends at the blank spine and several folds, light dirtiness.
