WHAT HAPPENED AT BLOOD RIVER ON DECEMBER 16, 1838

[soois]

THE BATTLE OF BLOOD RIVER?

What happened there?

Who was supposed to win?

How many Whitey's were involved?

How many Zulu's?

How should the descendants of those whitey's view the Covenant?

How should other Afrikaners view it?

How should the Zulu's view it?

dont u know your history??
as far as i know Piet Retief paid cattle too Dingaan
then at a meeting
murdered Piet Retief and company
well they thought they were smart.......
sent over 3000 warriors to kill the "rest" of the Boers
but unfortunately the Boers wiped them like flies
the river (usually blue/green) was so sodden with dingaans tribes blood it was red..........
look at Voortrekker Monument ( i know u wont..no prizes for guessing)on 16 th December the sun hits directly on the tomb
and it only happens once a year
BTW there were like 300 Boers in a Laager........
faced by 3000 + hostilities
yet dingaan that traitor made his people pay dearly
not one Boer was killed in that battle
90% + Zulus died in that day...........
the real tragedy i point too dingaans greed
he was paid with cattle but decided beyond payment, his greed would win
well as he found out it was actually the beginning of the end

u can take a horse to the water....but u cant make it drink

It may come as a surprise to you that I am an Afrikaans speaking South African living in Krugersdorp, West Gauteng. I asked these questions because I am quite sure that the "informatio" supplied to us by the National Part government department of education could not necessarily be taken as the truth.

Your white-supremacist talk on this board sickens me. Why is this always the image of Afrikaners towards the rest of the world?

I pity you

[Rooivalk]

Again you come here with accusations
there was no race relation involved here
and yes people who feel the country is going to the dogs
and run i see as traitors
they supported the regime ( more yours than mine)
and when democratic rule appeared they figured they werent
prepared to help build this country
i think you are confused as too race cause i didnt say i was
white or Afrikaans
in fact niether
and Krugersdorp???????
lmao sounds closer too the "wit wolwe"
jy kan my stories vertel

i pity you actually
well then seeing evertything supplied by the NP (didnt exist in 1838) is fake then we can wipe off certain history
might as wipe off everything since 48 till 94
well thats what youre suggesting

Soois, you should stop making accusations. You have no proof of anything.Another thing, Afrikaners don't see themselves as better than everyone else, they are just proud of their culture, just like any culture should be. And why didn't you go get the information from somewhere else?
