Majuba 1881, The
Hill of Destiny by Ian Castle
In 1881 the tension between Britain and the Boer farmers of Southern
Africa that had existed for 75 years boiled over into open conflict. The British
entered the war full of confidence, yet in a few short weeks they had
suffered three separate reverses before enduring their final humiliating
defeat on the isolated summit of Majuba. George Colley's force were swept
off their 'unassailable' position and into headlong retreat. It was a
defeat that sent shock waves reverberating around the Empire.
