Callaway's 1868 collection of Zulu texts also contains 12 riddles in Zulu with an English translation.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924026950968/page/n387/mode/2up?view=theater Callaway 1868], pp. 364-374.</ref> The riddles include:
*"''Kqandela ni inkomo e hlatshelwa 'zibayeni zibili (intwala, ngokuba umuntu u ya i tata engutsheni, ka namandhla oku i bulala ngesitupa si sinye; uma e nga hlanganisi izitupa zozibili, a i kcindezele, i fe''." "Guess ye an ox which is slaughtered in two cattle-pens (a louse, for a man takes it out of his blanket, but he cannot kill it with one thumb; but only by bringing the two thumbs together, and squeezing it between them that it may die)."
*"''Kqandela ni indoba e nga lali; ku ze ku se i mi, i nga lele (insika a i lali, ngokuba i y' ema njalo, i linde indhlu)''." "Guess ye a man who does not lie down; even when it is morning he is standing, he not having lain down (a pillar does not lie down, for it stands constantly and watches the house)."
There are six Zulu riddles reported in the ''Folklore Journal'' of the South African Folklore Society in 1880.<ref>Carbutt, Mrs Hugh Lancaster. (1880). "Six Zulu Riddles". ''Folklore Journal of the South African Folklore Society''. 2: 60-61.</ref> Here are two of them:  
*"''Ngi tshele ibizo le'nyoka ende e dhlula izinyoka ezinye? (indhlela).''" "Tell me the name of the longest snake? (a road)."
*"''Ngu bani oma njalo a ngez'a hlala pansi? (ishilahla).''" "Who is it that stands always and never sits? (a tree)."
