Defeated the Boers twice, the British twice, amaSwati four times, defeated a combination of Boers and British once, combination of British and amaSwati once, he was hated by amaNdebele of Nyabela coz he took their cows easily, he was defeated in 1879 by a combination of Boers, British, amaSwati and few amaNdebele, four against 1 war yet it took one week to defeat Bapedi regiments of Matuba, there's alot of history about Bapedi that is hidden coz of what King Sekhukhune 1 did to White people, he was a nightmare to the British and didn't take the Boers seriously, King Cetswayo of amaZulu admired King Sekhukhune's fighting techniques and ended up befriending him, yes alot of people don't know about Bapedi Kingdom and amaZulu Kingdom alliance of 1800s
His son King Sekhukhune ll is the one who sold cows and the money was used to sponsor what we call the ANC today and alot of people don't know this.
After King Sekhukhune 1 was defeated by the combination of the Boers, British, amaSwati and amaNdebele the front page of England newspaper had his image written " The British nightmare"
At some point he was pissed to an extent that he sent his people to deliver the message that "I've opened up to anyone, whoever wanna fight me I'll be waiting" this terrified alot of people.
