[Part 1] Battle of the Bakwena/Bahurutse....the intro!!
It all went down in 1852. around the 3 granite hills - whose area known as Dimawe. The battle was a collaborative effort between the Bakwena, Bahurutse and the missionaries which had settled in Manyana at the time. All these people fought to protect a group of runaway slaves, who had escaped such harsh in order to seek aid from an outside party. That same group ended up settling in Manyana afterwards.
Oral history tells us that the Bahurutse, led by Kgosi Manyana Mangope, had been tracked by group of “scouts” had tracked the Bahurutse group all the way to Manyana.....
