The 2006 SAffer Trivial Pursuit Thread (part 2)

(Sentinel)

Which town was besieged by Boer forces for four months during the South African War?

Mafeking, until the Quizz Master said that was wrong, then I went and chatted to Mr G and he said:

Kimberley was besieged by Boer forces for four memorable months, from 14 October 1899.

Why I would have said Mafeking as my first answer, as it was the famous siege of Mafeking that was the origin/start of boy scouts by Lord Baden Powell. When he trained young boys to escape the town.
