Most listeners will have heard of the Zulus and the Boers - two groups of people that Britain has gone to war with over the centuries.
But did you know that those nations also fought one another in a brutal fight for control of great swathes of South Africa that culminated in the famous battle of Blood river? A battle previously covered on this channel.
The conflict began when Boers began migrating from British rule in the Cape and moving north to settle new lands. It was a time known as the Great trek. But these Dutch speaking farmers and hunters in their wagons didn’t find empty space they found a land filled with proud indigenous people. Let's hear the full story.
