orphan date October 2010 Theresa Viglione was an Italians Italian and South African woman famous for saving the lives of many Voortrekkers in 1836 when she warned a group of them of an impending attack initiated by Zulu Kingdom Zulu king Dingane . She is immortalized on a frieze in a Voortrekker monument in Pretoria, South Africa Biography Born to an Italian family originally from Piedmont, Theresa Viglione moved to South Africa with her family in the early 19th century. Her family is believed to have belonged to the Valdese congregation, a Protestant church in western Piedmont, whose members were forced to flee Piedmont, South Africa Piedmont &mdash then part of the Sardinian Kingdom &mdash because of discrimination against Protestants by the local authorities. Background On February 6, 1838, a group of Voortrekkers and their servants went to negotiate with the Zulu king Dingane . The party was led by Piet Retief , an Afrikaner leader. The king received Retief and his group at his cattle kraal, and they began to discuss a treaty amending a previous treaty signed in January 1836. Initially he was obstructive about drawing up the treaty, but eventually he signed it. He invited the Voortrekkers to share some sourgbeer with him. The trekkers left their muskets outside, entered the kraal and sat at the King s feet. While beer was served the surrounding warriors began to dance and shout. The King leapt to his feet and yelled buladani abatagati Kill the wizards . The Voortrekkers were taken to be executed. They were impaled and their bodies left on a hillside to be eaten by wild animals, as was Dingane s custom with his enemies. Piet Retief was the last to be killed. Dingane gave orders for the Voortrekker laagers to be attacked, which would have plunged the migrant movement into disarray. The Zulus headed towards Natal to annihilate the rest of the Voortrekkers, who were encamped in the countryside watered by the rivers Bloukrans, Bushman and Mooi streams.

about the administrative region the mountain range Soutpansberg Zoutpansberg was the north eastern division of the South African Republic Transvaal , South Africa . This was the district to which Louis Tregardt and Jan van Rensburg , the forerunners of the Great Trek , journeyed in 1835. In 1845 Hendrik Potgieter , a prominent leader of the Voortrekkers , moved there. The Zoutpansberg Boers formed a semi independent community, and in 1857 Stephanus Schoeman , their commandant general, sided against Marthinus Pretorius and Paul Kruger when they invaded the Orange Free State . It was not until 1864 that Zoutpansberg was definitely incorporated in the South African Republic . Trichard and his companions had been shown gold workings by the natives, and it was in this district in 1867 70, and in the neighbouring region of Lydenburg , that gold mines were first worked by Europeans south of the Limpopo River Limpopo .
