+Wazat Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Was it not in the movie Zulu as a Luitenant Bromhead or Bromfield or something. Read up on it not too long ago... think it was to do with a question asked a few weeks ago... Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Bingo Wazat - you're it - Yep - it was ZULU - the story of Rorke's Drift - filmed near Royal Natal National Park (with the amphitheatre in the background). Still a good movie - in conjunction with Zulu Dawn. Quote Link to comment

Sorry - been away without internet - yep - she was the Lady in White who sang for almost every troop ship that arrived or left Durban throughout WW2. She would sing Star Spangled Banner for US troops and Irish or Scottish songs for regiments from there. All yours Wazat Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 She was the first international cricketer to get a wicket (or century) and as such recognised by the ICC? Quote Link to comment
+Midgleys_ZA Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Bit of a tough one this is proving to be it would seem.... Shall I drop a clue or six? A strange thought popped into my mind: Jeff Wilson's mother. But a bit of research told me that Jeff Wilson was born in 1973. Most of this was triggered by CH's response, since Jeff Wilson played cricket for New Zealand as well as rugby. Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Nope - more to do with the 21 wickets in the day leading to the only time in the history of test cricket that ...... All of WHAT (or part of what) occurred on a single day of a test match? Think about the clues Got IT (I think) 4 innings in one day Must Be! Logic - start the day with 9 down in the first innings - 1 wicket closes innings 1, then 20 wickets closes innings 2 and 3 leaving innings 4 to start! Trev Yep - you're it - it is the ONLY day ever in test cricket history where part of ALL 4 innings were played on the same day. you're it Trev Looking back to January question this year - and ironic that the next time it happened is in CT - and a CT cacher answered the question Now for the Lemba - any takers on that - or are we going to pass over it?

+Carbon Hunter Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 They are from an ancient tribe with linkage to the people who build the the Zim ruins and Mapungubwe? Certainly from an ancient tribe - but the link I'm looking for is not to Zim and Mapungubwe - but even older. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Another week gone - no takers? Think about links to ancient tribes - Bouts777 was on the right track. But which tribe is the question. Max du Preez wrote a great story on them in his one book. Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 No takers as the last few questions have been so obscure that forumites couldn't be bothered? If I didn't research the question there is no hope in hell that I would have guessed. Quote Link to comment
+cownchicken Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Had to search for my Max Du Preez books and have come up with the answer!

+Carbon Hunter Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Go for it - I actually thought this was a "not so little known" fact Yep CnC - the Lemba are a tribe in Venda that have DNA roots proven back to the Ancient Israelites - via a tribe in Yemen. They still practice a form of Judaism and have until recently been a very closed society. This has been fairly widely reported in the past and the topic of a number of articles and documentaries. Go for it CnC - perhaps you'll have more takers? Quote Link to comment
