Battle of Dithakong
The Battle of Dithakong was fought in June 1823 near the Batlhaping town of Dithakong, in the north of present-day South Africa. Mounted Griqua gunmen, allied with the Batlhaping and called in through the missionary Robert Moffat, defeated a large force of displaced Sotho-Tswana groups driven west by the upheavals of the period, inflicting heavy losses.
