• Notes

  ==Monument to the massacre on 'Moordkoppie' (Murder Hill)==1838.the Tugela-Umzimvubu region, although dated 4 February 1838, was signed by Dingane on 6 February 1838, with the two sides recording three witnesses each. Dingane invited Retief's party to witness a special performance by his soldiers, whereupon Dingane ordered his soldiers to capture Retief's party and their coloured servants.ken to a nearby ridge, Hlomo amabuto, which means "mustering of the soldiers".[4] The Zulus killed the entire party by clubbing them and killed Retief last, so as to witness the deaths of his comrades. Their bodies were left on the KwaMatiwane hillside to be eaten by vultures and scavengers,[5] as was Dingane's custom with his enemies. Dingane then directed the attack against the Voortrekker laagers,[4] which plunged the migrant movement into temporary disarray and in total 534 men, women and children were killed.
