King Sekhukhuni 1 :The British Nightmare

Defeated the Boers twice, the British twice, amaSwati four times, defeated a combination of Boers and British once, combination of British and amaSwati once, he was hated by amaNdebele of Nyabela coz he took their cows easily, he was defeated in 1879 by a combination of Boers, British, amaSwati and few amaNdebele, four against 1 war yet it took one week to defeat Bapedi regiments of Matuba, there's alot of history about Bapedi that is hidden coz of what King Sekhukhune 1 did to White people, he was a nightmare to the British and didn't take the Boers seriously, King Cetswayo of amaZulu admired King Sekhukhune's fighting techniques and ended up befriending him, yes alot of people don't know about Bapedi Kingdom and amaZulu Kingdom alliance of 1800s

His son King Sekhukhune ll is the one who sold cows and the money was used to sponsor what we call the ANC today and alot of people don't know this.

After King Sekhukhune 1 was defeated by the combination of the Boers, British, amaSwati and amaNdebele the front page of England newspaper had his image written " The British nightmare"

At some point he was pissed to an extent that he sent his people to deliver the message that "I've opened up to anyone, whoever wanna fight me I'll be waiting" this terrified alot of people.

𝗘𝗗𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗜𝗨𝗦 (1829-1880)

Edmond Albius was born a slave in 1829, in St. Suzanne, on the island Réunion. His mother died during childbirth, and he never knew his father. In his youth he was sent to work for Botanist Fereol Bellier-Beaumont. The vanilla plant was flourishing in Mexico, and by the late 18th century, a few plants were sent to Paris, London, Europe and Asia, in hopes of producing the bean in other areas. Although the vine would grow and flower, it would not produce any beans. French colonists brought vanilla beans to Réunion around 1820. Beaumont had been teaching young Edmond how to tend to the various plants on his estate. He taught him how to hand-pollinate a watermelon plant. Beaumont had previously planted vanilla beans, and had just one vine growing for over twenty years, but was also unable to produce any beans on the vine. Young Edmond began to study the plant and made a discovery. He carefully probed the plant and found the part of the flower that produced the pollen. Edmond th...
