Under the written terms of the Rudd Concession, Lobengula was to receive...
Atwo hundred cattle a year and a school for his sons
Ba hundred pounds a month, 1 000 rifles and a gunboat
Ca share of all gold mined and a house at Bulawayo
Da thousand pounds a year and protection from the Boers
Explanation: The written terms promised one hundred pounds a month, a thousand Martini-Henry rifles with ammunition, and an armed steamboat on the Zambezi. What the document did not say, and what Lobengula was told verbally, was that only a handful of men would come to dig, which is why he later tried to repudiate it.
