K. W. Posselt (1815-85) It was Theophilus Shepstone who invited this Lutheran minister to work among the Drakensberg people. With two brother-ministers he set up 1847 the Emmaus station near Winterton. As a result of visits to Pietermaritzburg and Durban, he came into contact with the German settlers in New Germany and later became their pastor, although continuing his mission work. In 1850 he published a language manually, now very scarce, entitled The Zulu Companion, offered to the Natal colonist to facilitate his intercourse with the natives... In his outspoken way, he was a successful missionary, very original in his methods.
