Brand New Book. Past injustices can teach us important lessons. They can help us to heal the divisions of the past and to build unity in the present. The Bulhoek Massacre took place on 24 May 1921. On this day, 800 white police and soldiers went to forcibly remove a group of Israelites from their holy village Ntabelanga ( The Mountain Of The Rising Sun ), in the Eastern Cape. The Israelites were led by an African prophet, Enoch Mgijima. When the Israelites and the police could not agree, they clashed. The police had rifles, machine guns, and cannons, while the Israelites could fight back only with sticks, swords, and spears. Within 20 minutes, nearly 200 Israelites lay dead and many others were wounded. This event would soon be called the Bulhoek Massacre . Why did this tragedy happen? Look at the life history of Enoch Mgijima and his followers the Israelites as it is told in this book. Why did the Israelites settle at Ntabelanga? Why did the government oppose them? Why did the government decide to send an armed force to expel the Israelites from their holy village? Why were the Israelites prepared to face this force on the plain outside Ntabelanga?
