| Description | The Kora played an important role in the Transgariep (OFS) during the first half of the 19th century. By 1858, however, after the defeat of Goliat Yzerbek, these migrant cattle farmers disappeared from the scene. This article focuses on the fortunes of these people living between the Riet and Vaal Rivers. Organized in small chieftainships and in possession of fire-arms and horses, the Kora dominated the area with their constant raids, sometimes in military alliance with other groups. The Griqua settlements under Adam Kok and the infiltration of whites into this region however, restricted their movements and put pressure on Kora land. Eventually, they were displaced and dispersed by these more powerful communities | |
