Was a small Boer republic which existed from 1884 to 1888 in present-day South Africa.

Establishment


  • August 1884: After Boer farmers, who lived in the area, helped Dinuzulu defeat his rival Zibhebhu for succession of the Zulu throne, land was given to them by way of session by the new Zulu king along the banks of the Mfolozi River. On August 5, 1884, the Boers formed the Nieuwe Republiek (New Republic) with recognition by Germany, ZAR and Portugal with Vryheid as its capital.
  • November 1884: The Santa Lucia Bay (German: Santa Lucia Bay) was the subject of a contract that came about in 1884 on behalf of the trading house Adolf Lüderitz on the coast of southern Africa. According to Lüderitz, the bay should be placed under the "protection" of the German Empire.
