Battle of Dimawe

[3] When the Boers arrived Sechele I sent a messenger to Commandant Scholtz to say that he would do nothing to him on the morrow, as that was a Sunday, but that he would duly settle the account on the Monday.

During the battle Paul Kruger was injured by friendly fire ricochet,[3] and was also stuck in the chest, tearing apart his jacket.

[7] They also captured about 400 civilians, mainly women and children, which they then used as "inkoboekelinge" to work in farms,[7] which was, according to David Livingstone, slavery.

[2] And found a complete workshop for repairing guns, and materials of war, in breach of the Sand River Convention of 1852.

[11] After the battle, the Tswana tribes split; the Bakwena traveled to Ditlhakane and Dithubaruba while the Bahurutshe finally settled in the Kolobeng River valley around Dimawe Hill.

[9] Setshele attempted to travel to Great Britain to ask for further protection from the Boers, but he only made it to Cape Town before being turned back.
