Paperback | 278 pages
Eighteen seventy-nine was a crucial year in south African history. The Zulu Kingdom and the Pedi policy, two vital obstacles to the colonial control, were bludgeoned into submission by British-led armies. The events involved in the rise and destruction of Zulu power have inspired a rich literature. The history of the Pedi, by contrast, is much less well known - despite the contemporary view that among Transvaal Africans the Pedi paramount Sekhukhune énjoyed a fame as a chief of dignity and importance hardly inferior to the fame of Cetshwayo among the Zulus.' THis account focuses ofnthe history of the Pedi policy. It covers the decades spannign two fundamental refashionings of the relations of power in South Africa : the upheavals of the difaqane in the 1820s, and the aggressive British imperialism of the 1870s.
