^{Page 334 note 2} Mr Nquku was born in 1899 at Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, of Zulu parents, and held various teaching and supervisory positions in the Bantu schools of the Republic. In 1930 he became the first African inspector of schools in Swaziland, and in 1934 he founded a vernacular newspaper Izwi Lam Swazi (‘The Voice of the Swazi’). Nquku served as editor of this paper until it was taken over by the Bantu Press. He became an active member of the S.N.C. in 1940 and was made responsible for educational matters. In 1955 he founded and became first editor of The Swazilander. His outlook was considerably broadened through extensive travel in America and Europe in 1957.

^{Page 335 note 2} Dr Zwane, who now appears to enjoy the bulk of Progressive support, was born in Swaziland in 1924. He was educated in Catholic and Protestant mission schools and continued his schooling at Fort Hare and the University of the Witwatersand. After qualifying as a doctor in 1951 he worked for a short time in South Africa until he returned to Swaziland as a Government Medical Officer. After serving in that capacity for seven years, he resigned in 1960 to give his full attention to politics. At the request of Mr Nquku he abandoned his original intention of setting up his own political party, and instead accepted the position of secretary-general of the Progressive Party. His presence doubled the party's membership in a short time, giving it a total of roughly two thousand. Segal, Ronald, African Profiles (London, 1962), pp. 52–3.Google Scholar

Dumisa Dlamini of the Liberatory Congress was charged and sentenced for leading a similar demonstration. But MrNxumalo went to the U.S.A. on an American leadership grant, returning in July 1963.

^{Page 345 note 2} A Geological Survey started in 1949 has recently revealed large deposits (estimated at 32 million tons) of rich iron ore available for exploitation. This has resulted in Swaziland's first railway, now under construction, which will convey the ore to Lourenço Marques for shipment to Japan. There are at least 32 million tons of second-grade anthracite coal on government lands, and more than 1 million tons of barytes. Gold ore reserves are estimated at 367,000 tons. Other valuable minerals such as antimony, tin, nickel, wolfram, thorium, lead, and magnesite are indicated in smaller amounts. All of these are in addition to the timber forests and asbestos mines which have been productive over a long period. The Times of Swaziland, 26 April 1962.
