Contested prod, unsourced article about obscure person only notable for one thing, surviving the Battle of Isandhlwana. PatGallacher (talk) 00:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: The article also says he co-founded the town of Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal, which sounds quite a bit more notable than surviving a battle. --Canley (talk) 02:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Reply Looked into this, only one of several people who played a role in founding what is now a town of around 30 000 people, not much of a claim to notability. PatGallacher (talk) 17:46, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
