KURUMAN

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 954 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KURUMAN , a town in the
Bechuanaland
  division of Cape Colony, 12o m. N.W. of Kimberley and 85 m. S.W. of Vryburg. It is a station of the London Missionary Society, founded in 1818, and from 1821 to 187o was the
scene
  of the labours of Robert Moffat (q.v.) who here translated the Bible into the Bechuana tongue. In the middle period of the 19th
century
  Kuruman was the rendezvous of all travellers going north or
south
 . Of these the best known is
David
  Livingstone. The trunk railway line passing considerably to the
east
  of the town, Kuruman is no longer a place of much importance. It is pleasantly situated on the upper course of the Kuruman river, being beautified by gardens and orchards, and presents a striking contrast to the desert conditions of the surrounding country. Its name is that of the son and
heir
  of Mosilikatze, the founder of the Matabele nation. Kuruman disappeared during his father's lifetime and the succession passed to Lobengula (see RuoDESIA: History). In November 1899 the town was besieged by a Boer force. The garrison, less than a hundred strong, held out for six weeks against over loco of the enemy,"but was forced to surrender on the 1st of January 1900. In June following it was reoccupied by the British.
