I don't know all the Voortrekkers names offhand, but I DO KNOW their names and their story are inscribed inside the Voortrekker Monument just a little south of Pretoria. It's well worth a visit.see link for more info -
The Voortrekkers were trekking over and occupying Zulu lands in much the same way American homesteaders had done 50 years before in the US. -The Zulus, like the Indians, didn't like this.
The Voortrekkers, Dutch-speaking settlers in South Africa during the Great Trek in the 1830s and 1840s, primarily relied on a diet of meat, including game they hunted, cattle, and sheep. They also consumed staple foods such as maize, mealies, and potatoes, which they grew or obtained from local communities. Bread made from wheat or maize flour was common, along with milk and dairy products from their livestock. Foraging and trading with indigenous peoples also contributed to their diet.
The Dutch settlers called themselves Voortrekkers
Shaka Zulu's half-brother was named Dingane. He was a significant figure in Zulu history, known for his role in the Zulu kingdom after Shaka's death. Dingane eventually became king and is remembered for his conflicts with the British and the Voortrekkers.
The Natal Orange Free State and Transvaal were founded during the 19th century as a result of British colonial expansion and the migration of Dutch-speaking settlers known as Voortrekkers. In the 1830s, these settlers moved inland from the Cape Colony to escape British rule, establishing independent Boer republics. The Orange Free State was formally established in 1854, while the South African Republic (Transvaal) was founded in 1852, both seeking autonomy from British control. These regions were characterized by their agrarian economies and resistance to British imperialism, leading to significant conflicts in subsequent decades.
De Voortrekkers was created in 1916.
