UMHALLA'S PIPE SOUTH AFRICA carved wood and inlaid pewter, with a 19th century label, reading: Umhalla's Pipe. This pipe (of native kaffir manufacture) was promised to Rev F. Fleming when at Chief's Kraal the *****, with Bishop Gray, Aug 1850 - Kaffir War shortly after this broke out, no more was seen of Umhalla until Aug 4 1853 when he was met in King Will (?) town, Kaffaria. Reminded of his promise, he at once acknowledged it. Said he had the pipe still. Then gave it as promised F.F.(16.2cm long)Footnote: Provenance: Umhalla (Nathaniel Cyril Umhalla) Reverend Francis Fleming, gifted by the above 1853, thence by descent Note: A Xhosa pipe with exceptional provenance. Originally belonging to Umhalla, a Xhosa prince, it was gifted in 1853 during the Eighth Kaffir (Xhosa) War. Umhalla was a son of Cheif Mhala, who was a prominent figure in the Xhosa War, resisting British aggression and fighting to retain control of his land. Following the end of the conflict he was later sentenced to death, which was later reduced to twenty years hard labour on Robben Island. Prince Umhalla himself, born most likely in the late 1830's, was one of a select group of Xhosa royal children chosen to be sent to Cape Town in 1850 immediately prior to outbreak of the war as part of the British strategy to 'assimilate' local power centres into the colonial economy and structures. It was during this period that Umhalla met the young Rev. Francis Fleming at a Xhosa Kraal. Umhalla and Fleming struck up a friendship, with Umhalla promising his pipe as a gift to Reverend F. Fleming. Shortly after their meeting the Xhosa War broke out and the two did not meet again until three years later, in August 1853, when Umhalla, remembering his promise, gifted the pipe to Fleming. In later life, Umhalla remained a respected senior member of the Xhosa tribe. In 1878 he became one the first citizens in Cape Colony to be charged with treason for refusing to favour the Colonial War against the Ngqika Xhosa of Ngcayecibi. After this period, he worked Cape Colony legal system and when on to edit the first Xhosa language newspaper. He was also noted as being one of the finest cricket players in South Africa.
