We arrived in Mombasa, a city with 100 000 people, which is slightly smaller than Port Elizabeth (150 000). It is very beautiful because of its tall trees (about 60 feet), such as coconut, mango, cacaonuts, bananas, palm trees, which remind one of Port St. Johns in Pondoland. There are many baobab trees which are very big. One was 20 yards in circumference, and was smaller than the one I saw in the Transvaal in Louis Trichardt when I was there on a tour in 1947 with a commission which was investigating college unrest. That one is so big that an ox span could pass through it, like in California in the United States of America. These trees are few in the Transvaal whilst in Mombasa they are frequent, because of the humid warm climate—this city is near the equator (300 miles). Mombasa is close to Abyssinia, Egypt, Uganda and Somalia. The Somali are the origin of the Khoi, Namaqua, Damara and Herero who introduced the lighter complexion to us in the south, because they moved along the Congo down the western coast in their migration long ago to Namaqualand, and spread out to Kimberley, Kokstad, George, Fort Beaufort and Balfour, Middledrift and Pondoland where they mixed with us. He!
