January 1837: Meanwhile, a new power had arisen along the upper Orange and in the valley of the Caledon. Moshoeshoe, a minor Basotho chief, had welded together a number of scattered and broken clans which had sought refuge in that mountainous region after fleeing from Mzilikazi, and had formed the Basotho nation which acknowledged him as king.
Disestablishment
January 1845: The Republic of Winburg-Potchefstroom was established in 1844 by Voortrekker settlers in the Boer Voortrekker Settlement of Winburg. The towns of Potchefstroom and Winburg, along with their surrounding territories, formed this independent Boer Republic.
