MAKABA II & MOFFAT

Monday, April 30, 2018

Our last episode concluded with the Rev. Robert Moffat having resolved take up Makaba II’s invitation that he visit Kanye. At the time the missionary was convinced that the powerful Bangwaketse Kgosi's goodwill was the key to bringing peace and the blessings of gospel to the region.

Moffat was turned back from an initial attempt to reach Gangwaketse in May 1823, when Dithakong was threatened by invading Baphuting and Bahlakwana, who were defeated by the Batlhaping with Griqua assistance.

The following year, he set off once more. Upon crossing the Molopo in August 1824, the missionary was greeted and escorted by another Makaba’s sons, Moroka, underscoring the value that was placed on his arrival.
