LNBSprecialPresentation: ONE OF A KIND CHRONOLOGY OF BASOTHO PEOPLES!

BaSotho Chronology



Pre-1820...
- 1652: Cape Colony Founded (Earliest frontier war skirmishes)
1 year later;
A Whole Generational Leap later
- 1784: Moshoeshoe I born to BaMoKoteli Clan (Clan of ancestrially powerful leaders).
In His lifetime
- 1815: Evident Defacane (South African Wars as here defined by Former President J. Zuma).
Five (5) Years later
- 1820: Moshoeshoe I forms unified BaSotho Clan and ethnic identity and ensues diplomatic due process towards establishing BaSotholand as a British Protectorate enclaved constitutional monarchy state in response to British 1820 Settlement of Southern Africa and already apparent Defacane (South African Wars).
Eighteen Years into that whole adventure of a life
- 1838: Trekboers, fuelled by brevity, arrived at the Western border of Basotholand and claimed rights under Jan de Winnaar.
Ten Years into that injust claim to sovereign lands, 
- 1848: Moshoeshoe I presented Himself in esteemed stature at the arranged treaty signing with British Governor Sir George Thomas Napier - outraging the Trekboers, who consequently became suppressed into retreating from BaSotholand through decisive battles (irrespective of a few skirmishes ending to the favor of Afrikaaner Trekboers) won by the English at the time.
1851 - 1852
British-Sotho conflicts are won, per historic record, by Moshoeshoe I through displays in a higher caliber in Ubuntu (Botho/Shared-Personhood/Humility).
1854
British withdrawal from BaSotholand, inciting Trekboer incursions into BaSotholand.
1858
Moshoeshoe I and BaSotho men and women and children at arms defeated Trekboers in the Free State regions of BaSotholand (at the time, the region known presently as Free State was a part of the kingdom known then as BaSotholand).
1865
Moshoeshoe I lost great portions of the western lowlands to the Trekboer forces in insurrection.
1868
BaSotho-Trekboer wars end following Moshoeshoe I living true to his diplomatic nature in 'bending the knee' to Victoria of England at the time apparent, in urgent appeal, resulting in Victoria apparent agreeing to BaSotholand becoming secured by royal decree as a British Protectorate.  This set precedence towards eSwathini becoming a British Protectorate in 1903, half a generation later. 
1870



Natural death of King MoShoeShoe of Southern African Developing Area, First Of His Name, Long May His Spirit Reign Over All Who Seek Justice For Peoples On The Lands Of His Forefathers and Their Foremothers.

Ten Years following,
Scramble For Africa by European warmongers on a colonial conquest.  This lead to the unjustifiable Anglo-Boer War.  Africans in the region are still waiting to learn why white people were fighting on their land for a whole year, and who gave European forces permission to fight and divide in, apart and around our native homestead. Naturally, a South African war ensued, because every single body alive at the time had become embroiled in the greedy capitalist trade wars between English, Dutch, Portugues and Afrikaans speaking post-landgrab warmongering.
Cost to South African Wars

1902–1903£47,500,000£45,430,000,000
Sub-total£201,907,000£193,100,000,000
Interest£9,249,000£8,846,000,000
Grand total£211,156,000£202,000,000,000
According to the official scorecard, and in analysing the aftermath to the South African wars:
"The Second Boer War cast long shadows over the history of the South African region. The predominantly agrarian society of the former Boer republics was profoundly and fundamentally affected by the scorched earth policy of Roberts and Kitchener. The devastation of both Boer and black African populations in the concentration camps and through war and exile were to have a lasting effect on the demography and quality of life in the region. Many exiles and prisoners were unable to return to their farms at all; others attempted to do so but were forced to abandon the farms as unworkable given the damage caused by farm burning in the course of the scorched earth policy. Destitute Boers and black Africans swelled the ranks of the unskilled urban poor competing with the "uitlanders" in the mines." Prof. Wik. O. Paedia.
 
1903
Swaziland became a British Protectorate.

Fifteen years later, when the first recorded Cytokine Storm swept through Southern Africa.


500, 000 people die in Flu Pendemic (Covid19) throughout that year. 

January 1918, KWV Distilleries is Founded.
July 1918, Former President Nelson Mandela is born to one of many noble, royal bloodlines delegitimized by European interests at the time, particularly those governed by Trekboer administrators at the time. 

102 Years Later

Welcome to 2020.  This year's cytokine storm is allegedly instigated by 0.01% of powerful individuals using Y2K Technologies in taking over the world.  LNBPublishing proudly belongs to this group towards reaching specific targets of the aspirations for the Africa we want to see in the future, as per the AU's Agenda 2063.  

Welcome to the future.
