The Battle of Veglaer, fought in August 1838, stands as a significant conflict during the Great Trek, a pivotal movement in South African history where thousands of Boer settlers, known as Voortrekkers, migrated from the British-controlled Cape Colony into the interior of South Africa. This migration was driven by a combination of economic pressures, resistance to British colonial policies, and a desire for greater autonomy. The battle represents a crucial moment in the conflict between the Voortrekkers and the Zulu Kingdom under King Dingane.
