"You let those rednecks (means British in SA) up there, and you are going to get them down"


Mrs. Joubert to her husband, General Joubert, after a mistake by him let the British army under Sir. Coley take a mountain he was supposed to guard. When he woke up and saw the Union Jack up there, he wanted to withdraw, but his wife forced him to launch an attack up hill against superiour numbers, leading to the battle of MAjuba, and a great victory for the Boer forced, leading to the regaining of their independence and a huge defeat for the Empire!
