Fort Prospect

26 September 1901

This outpost was manned by 82 British Soldiers but were forewarned of the pending Boer attack and built a well fortified position. The Boers attacked with some 400 men. After a protracted battle lasting all day during which time a group of Nongqayi (Zululand Police) broke through the Boer lines to join the British defenders, the Boers were eventually forced to withdraw.

This site is difficult to access and there is no on site information so the use of a Guide is recommended.
