A colonial meeting record dated 18 January 1786 states that Ndyuka leader Pambu promised not to support the Aluku. The Ndyuka had their own treaty relationship with the Dutch, and colonial officials sought to use it to isolate Boni’s community. This is evidence of colonial divide-and-rule diplomacy, but it does not fully reveal Ndyuka motives or the community’s internal debates. The written record reflects the officials who produced and preserved it.

The record reflects colonial officials and cannot fully establish Ndyuka motives or internal debate.
The 18 January 1786 record about Pambu should be treated as a colonial record with limits.
