However, Sluisken was still a bit puzzled.
Previously, the Boers had given some guns and trinkets to the Kosa people to reduce conflict, but the natives didn't seem to care much.
After settling in simply—the Kosa people even helped them build a few thatched huts in the mountains—Sluisken discussed the matter with Malvik.
The latter didn't hide anything and smiled, "Our doctors cured some seriously ill natives. Among them was the mother of the Engika tribe's clan leader."
Yes, the old woman had a persistent high fever at the time, and after taking two days of 'Prince's Blessing', barely pulled through.
But what Malvik didn't mention was that the Security Bureau also gifted 600 flintlock guns each to the Engika and Kaleka tribes, something the Boers would never dare to give—the moment they arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, they started seizing native lands. If the natives were armed, how would they continue grabbing territory?
