The Xhosa Wars, now generally known as the Frontier Wars, were a series of nine wars between the amaXhosa people and European settlers from 1779 to 1879 in what is now the Eastern Cape in South Africa. This image is from the 8th Frontier War which was known as "Mlanjeni's War", after the prophet Mlanjeni who arose among the homeless Xhosa and who predicted that the Xhosa would be unaffected by the colonists' bullets. The 8th frontier war was the most bitter and brutal in the series of Xhosa wars. It lasted over two years and ended in the complete subjugation of the Ciskei Xhosa with the loss of most of their land and their incorporation into the Cape Colony.
