He was of opinion that the small commandos which had already been in Cape Colony had done the
best they could. The question that now arose was whether the whole of their forces ought to be sent
from the Republics into Cape Colony. He himself thought that there was all opening for them, but the
difficulty was to find a method of getting them there. The existence of this difficulty, and the facts
which he had brought before the delegates, had forced him to the conclusion that a general rising in
Cape Colony was an impossibility.
As to the continuation of the war and matters of that nature, they must naturally be settled by the

General Christiaan Botha (Swaziland) then reported on the condition of the Swaziland commando.
They had no provisions in hand, and were simply living by favour of the Kaffirs. They had no women
there. His commando of one hundred and thirteen men was still at Piet Retief. As there was no grain
