This marriage (native and European) is a contradiction to age-long tradition and racial custom and a cause of internal hatred and splitting the Bamangwato race. Acknowledgement of the marriage will mean social equalisation of black and white, and if this example of the King be followed - which certainly will be done - racial purity will gradually be wiped out. This will mean that European Christendom in South Africa has a dark future.
