- Description: On 6th February 1838 the life of Piet Retief moved towards its great climax and death along with those of his entourage at the hands of Dingaan's warriors. Retief had gone to Umgungundlovu, Dingaan's kraal, to receive from Dingaan a cession of the land between the Tugela and the Umzimvubu Rivers. The grant of this land is said to have been made in a document dated Feb. 1838 but which circumstantial evidence suggests might have been signed on the 6 Feb. The document which has been regarded by some as a sort of title deed to Natal is an enigma which Retief has bequeathed to historians.
