John Robert Dunn
John Robert Dunn (1834–1895) was a South African settler, hunter, and diplomat of Scottish descent. Born in either Port Elizabeth or Port Natal in 1834, he spent his childhood in Port Natal/Durban.〔Ballard, Charles. ''John Dunn: White Chief of the Zulu'', 1985. pg. 24〕
==Early life==
When Dunn was still young, his father was trampled to death by an elephant. His mother died a few years later. He started to earn a living by working for transport riders and hunters. His love of hunting and his skill with a rifle took him across the Tugela River into Zululand on a regular basis, where he became fluent in the language and was befriended by local chiefs.
Their hospitality often included offering him a wife, and though he was already married to Catherine Pierce - daughter of a white settler father and mother of Cape Malay ancestry - he accepted a total of 48 Zulu wives during his lifetime, much to Catherine's disapproval.〔Ballard, ''John Dunn''〕 Dunn built his home at Mangethe, near the Ngoye Forest in Zululand.
