These medals were presented to Natal Zulu Chiefs in appreciation for their loyalty during the Boer War. Had the Zulus rebelled, as they did in 1906 and joined forces with the invading Boers, the outcome of the war could have been very different. Some bear the name of the individual recipient privately engraved in capital letters on the edge. The first illustrated example is named to: CHIEF NGOBIZOMBE (Gobizembe). Unlike the Diamond Jubilee Medal for Zulu Chiefs, the presentation took place in Pietermaritzburg.
A number of unnamed medals in mint condition were discovered in the Provincial Administration buildings in Pietermaritzburg in the 1980s leading to the supposition that some Chiefs did not receive their intended medal or a surplus had been made.
