Chronology
Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation
November 1877: The British crossed the frontier and pushed into Gcalekaland. Dividing into three lightly equipped, fast-moving columns, the commandos devastated the Gcaleka armies, which dispersed and fled eastwards. The Cape units tracked the fleeing remnants right through Gcalekaland, stopping only when they reached neutral Bomvanaland on the far side. The Ninth Xhosa War was over in three weeks.
January 1879: British commander Veldman Bikitsha, managed to engage and finally defeat the Gcaleka on 13 January (near Nyumaxa).
December 1877: With few incentives to conquer or occupy Gcalekaland, and with the violence subsiding, the Cape Government recalled their commandos, who returned home and disbanded.
