Boers against British. South Africa 28.01.1881. In the hills of Majuba the commandos of the Boer farmers defeated the British troops still fighting in red uniforms and forced peace negotiations favourable to them. The Battle of Majuba Hill (afrikaans Slag van Majuba; English Battle of Majuba Hill) was fought on 27 February 1881 between British and Boer forces in the Drakensberg Mountains in the Transvaal. The heavy defeat suffered by the force led by British Major General Sir George Pomeroy Colley against the Boers commanded by General Petrus Jacobus Joubert ended the First Boer War, from which the Boer Republic of Transvaal emerged victorious over the British Empire. -Wikipedia-
