Historians have identified various factors that contributed to the migration of an estimated 12,000 Voortrekkers to the future Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal regions. The primary motivations included discontent with the British rule:

  • Anglicisation policies
  • restrictive laws on slavery and its eventual abolition
  • arrangements to compensate former slave owners
  • the perceived indifference of British authorities to border conflicts along the Cape Colony's eastern frontier.
