1838 Bloedrivier

AFRIKAANS
Die Slag van Bloedrivier is op 16 Desember 1838 naby die Bloedrivier in die huidige KwaZulu-Natal, Suid-Afrika, geveg. Sowat 470 Voortrekkers, onder leiding van Andries Pretorius, het 'n ossewalaer beskerm teen tussen 10 000 en 20 000 Zoeloe-impies. Die Zoeloekrygers, onder Koning Dingaan se regering, is aangevoer deur Dambuza (Nzobo) en Nhlela.


Die ingang tot die Bloedrivierterrein met die monument in die agtergrondOp 15 Desember het die Voortrekkers inligting verkry dat 'n groot Zoeloemag op pad was. Pretorius het 'n uiters goeie gevegsterrein langs die Bloedrivier (toe die Ncomerivier) gekies, waar die ossewaens in 'n laer getrek is. Ten spyte van mis wat die aand oor die omgewing neergedaal het, was dit die volgende oggend helder. Voor die slag begin het, het die Voortrekkers 'n gelofte voor God afgelê dat, sou hulle gespaar word, hulle 'n kerk sal bou en die dag as 'n sabbat herdenk.

Die Zoeloes het herhaaldelik die laer onsuksesvol aangeval, todat Pretorius ná twee uur 'n groep perderuiters beveel het om die laer te verlaat en die Zoeloes aan te val. In die struweling het Pretorius ook 'n assegaaiwond aan sy linkerhand opgedoen.

Deels weens die feit dat die Voortrekkers vuurwapens teen die Zoeloes se assegaaie gebruik het, asook die goeie ligging en motivering van die Voortrekkers is uiteindelik slegs drie Voortrekkers gewond en geen dood nie; dit teenoor meer as 3 000 Zoeloekrygers wat gesterf het. 16 Desember is 'n openbare vakansiedag in Suid-Afrika; voor 1994 was dit as Geloftedag bekend, en tans as Versoeningsdag.

ENGLISH
In the Battle of Blood River on 16 December 1838 some 470 Voortrekkers, led by Andries Pretorius, defeated an estimated 10,000 Zulu on the banks of the Ncome River in what is today KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. On 16 December, dawn broke on a clear day, revealing that " 'all of Zululand sat there' ," said one Trekker eyewitness.[7] On his deathbed thirty years later, Sarel Cilliers recalled that before the battle commenced, the Trekkers had made a vow to God that if He should deliver them, they would build a church and commemorate the day as a Sabbath.

[Ersatzdehnung540]

Kan enigiemand vir my sê, of 'n mens dié rolprent nog sou kon vind iewers op die internet?

[sapper1984]

Dit word ongelukkig nie meer verkoop nie. Jy kan M-Net se verkope afdeling probeer - hulle het dit blykbaar al uitgesaai.

The British were far better than the Boers.

[sapper1984]

Thank You For Posting; Asia, India, the Middle East, and Africa violently threw-out colonialists, this violence includes 'Gaundi' getting assassinated in his efforts to remove the colonialists. Then these violent anti-colonialists invade Britain, Europe, and America, to live-off welfare, while continuing their violence fetish.

Asia, India, the Middle East, and Africa have an interesting hypocrisy; so much for anti-colonialist independence.

Cheers!

@BABGESS as a German who grew up in South Africa- i can only agree

[whysunshyn]

Just another example of racism. I know if the same fight was fought for similar reasons today the blacks would be shrieking "RACISM! OHHH POOR ME!" as they searched for a victim to lease their assiguy -so- in. Of course ABC, NBC CBS etc. would have their whining reporters out there to show how bigoted the Boers were and what poor babies were the Zulu. Pity.

@MarcJboy Do you know why Mandela was in jail? He killed 46+ people by planting a bomb at Pretoria station.... Go check it out..

[mamba701]

@seaofglory hahaha , now that is funny...now go ask a royal marine commando where he gets his name from (commando)

[MarcJboy]

Now now, colonialism is wrong and was wrong, but also, now live in peace - Mandela is a great man for letting the past go, yet Mugabe's the one interested in white genocide now. Swings and roundabouts.

the land belongs to those who fight for it.
