Talk:Sidi Mubarak Bombay

Sidi Mubarak Bombay and "Chuma" are not the same person. Chuma was a guide to livingstone, who was with him through the 1870s, and eventually carried him out of africa upon his death. Here is the information from RGS http://www.rgs.org/NR/rdonlyres/09D74CA0-F32A-45BD-A9AC-DD2AAFE53897/0/HHAfrica_JamesChuma.pdf

See he is 11 in 1861, not the correct age for Bombay. Also note he was with Livingstone at the time of his death, at which time Bombay had returned to the coast with Stanley. Also note he dies in 1885, which is correct, but a different date to the death of Chuma (1882)
