Note 556 — Chapter II · GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SLAVERY.
Reading edition
Rautanen, in his description of the Ondonga, states that there are neither serfs nor slaves. But at the same time he repeatedly makes mention of slaves. Slaves have no rights of inheritance. The master is responsible for damages caused by his slaves. Nobody but the chief has the right to sell slaves556. These contradictory statements do not allow us to arrive at a definite conclusion.
