Mpondo Zenkomo (Buffalo Formation). Or, The buoyancy of a shallow set of horns is not to be trifled with. Thus, the recapture of Kaapkolonie has failed and must be indefinitely postponed. Write home and tell your parents you’ve gone vegan because lion is on the menu for the foreseeable future. When the Frenglish Empire captured Kaapkolonie from the Dutch in 1792, the Dutch garrisons escaped into the interior and vowed to recapture the Kaapkolonie (renamed Francisabad Du Sud, after the ruler of Frenglish Empire, Francis III (the Terrible). Without warships, this was impossible and thus they waited and subsisted on raiding and building fortresses in the interior. However, when the Frenglish Empire collapsed, the Dutch loyalists sent a large fleet to retake the colony but were destroyed by Nelson’s Invincible Fleet using a land based Zulu war tactic at sea.
