[Part 2] Battle of the Bakwena/Bahurutse...
The Bahurutse had been successful in reaching Manyana, long before they were tracked there. It was to the point where Kgosi Mangope and Sechele had enough time to come up with simple, yet, effective Battle tactics [it came in handy though when the conflict arose]
Eventually the Boer Scouts had tracked the Bahurutse to Manyana. After their arrival, they had a meeting with Kgosi Sechele - asking where the runaway slaves could be found. Kgosi Sechele had told them “I have eaten Kgosi Mangope. If you want to get to him, you’ll have to open me up and remove him” [lol]. Following this Kgosi Sechele had put teamBW’s [the Bakwena and Bahurutse] battle strategy into play;
After Kgosi Sechele made the claim about eating Kgosi Mangope, he immediately told the Boers that they must remove their shoes when speaking to a Kgosi! [no one will ask you to do this if you visit a Kgotla though...lol]. After the shoes had been removed and tucked away [xD], the Boers had found themselves under attack....THEY’D JUST BEEN AMBUSHED. Their escape was impossible, due to the coarse texture of the terrain [there’s no way they could’ve ran away].
