Rosa Luxemburg - Die Akkumulation des Kapitals, 29. Kapitel
(21) "Moshesh, the great Basuto leader, tho whose courage and statesmanship the Basutos owed their
very existence as a people, was still alive at the time, but constant war with the Boers of the Orange Free
State had brought him and his followers to the last stage of distress. Two thousand Basuto warriors had
been killed, cattle had been carried off, native homes had been broken up and crops destroyed. The tribe
was reduced to the position of starving refugees, and nothing could save them but the protection of the
British Government, which they had repeatedly implored." (C. P. Lucas: A Historical Geography of the
British Colonies, Oxford, Bd. IV, S. 60.)
