'The Women Loaded the Empty Guns', 1909. Armed conflict, first with the Matabele people under Mzilikazi in the area which was to become the Transvaal, then against the Zulus under Dingane, went the Voortrekkers' way. This was due to thier tactics, their horsemanship and the effectiveness of their superior technology in the form of muzzle-loading guns. From Romance of Empire - South Africa by Ian D. Colwin. [T. C. & E. C. Jack , London, 1909]
