Boers Defeat Matabele Raiding Party,1837

The establishment of the South African Republic had its origins in 1837 when the commandos of Potgieter and Piet Uys defeated a Matabele raiding party of Moselekatse and drove them back over the Limpopo river. Potgieter declared the lands north and south of the Vaal river as Boer lands. The Northern Ndebele were historically referred to as the Matabele. Their history began when a Zulu chiefdom split from King Shaka in the early 19th century under the leadership of Mzilikazi, a former chief in his kingdom and ally. Image taken from page 45: Among the Zulus; the adventures of Hans Sterk by Alfred Wicks Drayson with illustrations by John Baptist Zwecker, 1879.
