The name was first applied to one of Cetshwayo's military kraals nearby. Dunn's residences were constructed in the form of traditional Zulu kraals. Working titles for this story included "The Kraals", "The Kraal Invasion", and "The Enemy Within". The wood is also used for fencing posts for cattle byres or kraals. Of these three Kraals, Kungwini was by far the strongest. The stone rings were probably used as enclosures for cattle (kraals). Everybody in the kraals thinking she was mad, laughed at her. The warriors had been prevented by police from raiding protected kraals. Only three Kraals are seen throughout the story. She then went to the Maasai kraals and danced like a mad woman. By special arrangement, both of these kraals can be visited by small parties. Cattle lived in kraals located close to the residents' houses, signifying their value. Their kraals were destroyed, and 23 000 head of cattle were seized. To overcome this, the males are kept in kraals in isolation from other males. On 20 October 1886 armed Mpondo people invaded Xesibeland, burning kraals and causing much disorder.
