Massacre at Mbolompo?

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In John Reader's book Africa: A Biography he says that Henry Somerset conducted a massacre and slave-raid of the Ngwane people at Mbolompo in August 1828 in which several hundred Ngwane were killed and more than 100 captured. If this is true it should surely be included. I say 'if' because when I google it the only article that references it is Julian Cobbing's controversial 1988 paper (discussed here), which Reader endorses but which has been challenged.
