Battle Of Majuba Hill

• It lead to the signing of a peace treaty and later the Pretoria Convention, between the British and the newly created South African Republic, ending the first Anglo-Boer war.
• The fire and movement tactics employed by the Boers, especially Commandant Smit in his final assault on the hill, were years ahead of their time.
• Coupled with the defeats at Laingsnek and Schuinshoogte, this third crushing defeat at the hands of the Boers ratified the strength of the Boers in the minds of the British, arguably to have consequences in the second Anglo-Boer war. The Boers in turn made "Remember Majuba" their rallying cry.

• British: 92 killed, 134 wounded, 59 POW's.
• Boers: Two dead, six wounded. H Bekker died on the scene, and J Groenewald died of his wounds two days later.
