1820 settlers
a group of the 1820 settlers continued on to natal, then a part of zululand, home of the zulu people. at the time, king shaka ruled the territory with highly trained warriors. leaders of the natal settlers requested permission from shaka to stay on the land. when the king witnessed the settlers' technological advances, permission was granted in return for access to firearm technology. according to genealogist shelagh o'byrne spencer, among 1820 settlers who moved to natal were "john bailie, the founder of east london, and charles kestell, after whose son, the revd john daniel kestell of anglo-boer war fame, the free state town of kestell is named".
