Maqoma's last war

Nkosi Maqoma - Most renowned Xhosa aristocrat in South Africa's 19th-century frontier wars. A read on the story of a lone Xhosa Prince who destroyed a British Navy troopship that threatened to annihilate his nation in 1852; detailing how the attack was carried out by a few African black (Xhosa) people.
Nkosi Maqoma - Most renowned Xhosa aristocrat in South Africa's 19th-century frontier wars. A read on the story of a lone Xhosa Prince who destroyed a British Navy troopship that threatened to annihilate his nation in 1852; detailing how the attack was carried out by a few African black (Xhosa) people. This is the story of a lone abalone diver who spent scores of hours investigating the wreck of HMS `Birkenhead' between 1958 and 1988; finding irrefutable evidence of sabotage. This is the story of Britain's mindless invasion into Xhosaland. This is the lamentable story how one of the bravest African Royals was buried in a pauper's hole on Robben Island; a disrespect and disgust to the Xhosa kingdom in general and particular amaRharhabe in particular.
