Scope and Content
[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2021: A paper by Simon Hall submitted for the Mfecane Aftermath conference held at University of the Witwatersrand in September in 1991. The paper examined material remains from Lepalong, a former underground Tswana settlement founded in 1827 and occupied until 1836. It argued Julian Cobbing's 'alibi' hypothesis is largely out of step with the available archaeological evidence.]

[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2021: Written by Simon Hall ahead of the Mfecane Aftermath conference in September 1991. Copies were printed and distributed for the conference's attendees, including Jan-Bart Gewald. The paper remained in Gewald's possession after the conference. C. 2014, he donated it along with all of the other Mfecane Aftermath conference papers to Leiden University Library. In 2021, Gewald's deposit of Mfecane Aftermath conference papers was uncovered by Ettore Morelli of FHYA. Following a request by FHYA, the papers were digitised by Leiden University Libraries for use in the FHYA's Spotlight on the Mfecane presentation. Uploaded by Benathi Marufu for EMANDULO in September 2021.]
