They damaged us so much and they already knew about AbaMbo who previously defeated Portuguese and made hard times for Dutch settlers from Europe who are still hating our nations today. They still travel abroad these boers calling other cruel so called leaders to have more hate against indigenous nation of South africa .God have kept this great African nation whose name is actually the origin of the name Africa itself and where it's originality emanating from.

The British Asked Moshoeshoe to Pay 10,000 Cattle or They'd Take 30,000!

Moshoeshoe looked into Sir George Cathcart's eyes and said the famous words, "A dog when beaten would show its teeth”. How did we arrive here and how did it end?

This is the story of Moshoeshoe’s second encounter, not with another mighty African army, but with a different beast, the world's strongest military of the time.

By the 1850s, tension had grown along the borders. There were cattle raids going back and forth between the Basotho, the Boers, and other groups. Complaints reached the British authorities, who were now in control of nearby lands. The British decided that Moshoeshoe had to pay.

At the same time, something else was bothering the British.

Not long before, a British-led force had been defeated by Moshoeshoe in the Battle of Viervoet. That loss to an African army damaged British pride. According to one historian, one reason George Cathcart, the then Governor of Cape of Good Hope, moved against Moshoeshoe was to restore British pride after an embarrassing defeat.

But he made an assumption: he believed that just the sight of that force would intimidate what, in his eyes, was a "primitive" African army, into submission.

So Cathcart called Moshoeshoe to a meeting.

Moshoeshoe hesitated.

He remembered how Chief Hintsa had been killed after trusting the British. So he first sent his sons (educated in Capetown, Cathcart was surprised by the sons' mastery of English Language and knowledge of some European History).

Only later did he go himself.

When they finally met, Cathcart said,

“I hope we meet in peace.”

Moshoeshoe replied gently,

“I too hope so, for peace is like the rain which makes the grasses grow, while war is like the wind which dries it up.”

It sounded peaceful, but it
