Description / content note
-
The Chief Tengani tells the story of the judgement of Solomon with a true story of his own of 1936, the year he was made chief. There was once a lorry which carried cotton. Now a certain man jumped onto the lorry without the knowledge of the driver. On going through the river the lorry stopped and the man fell off. The lorry backed and the man was run over and killed. But still the driver did not know he was there and it was only afterwards that the people found the body and brought it to the chief Tengani. Thay all say the driver was not to blame as he did not know the man was on his lorry or gave him permission. The case came before the District Commissioner who agreed with the chief. The people did not agree at the time but now they know the chief was right. "A Solomon come to judgement." Story (Ntana).
