Oxen as the mainstay of British South African transport
A historical overview highlights oxen as slow yet reliable movers for transport in South Africa, detailing breeds like Zuln and Natal oxen, the need for grazing time, risks of lung sickness and red water, winter hardships, and preferred trekking at night with eight hours per day yoked. It contrasts oxen and horses, notes costs, and mentions Boer methods and pony use in warfare.

Army of Ants Forage With Military Precision
A South Africa based observer reports an ant army of about 15 000 foragers marching to a fresh earth mound. They encircle the base, send detachments up the mound, and carry crickets and grasshoppers to a ground depot before returning for loads. The operation ends when the mound is exhausted and the troops head home with provisions. A judge stated a related case in Maryland involves a stallion sale and promissory notes.
