Xhosa princesses appeal to Irish president to help return he

Nkosi Jongumsobomvu Maqoma’s descendants in Centane have appealed to Irish authorities to help facilitate the return of the Xhosa warrior’s sacred stick to SA, which has been kept at a museum in Ireland for about 150 years. Born in 1798 in the Keiskammahoek area, Maqoma died in captivity on Robben Island in September 1873.
