As the British began settling in South Africa, they clashed with the local Afrikaner people living there, starting the [[Boer Wars]]. During the wars, the British murdered civilians and put them into [[concentration camp]]s.

In 1897, the British army under the command of Admiral [[Harry Rawson]] orchestrated the [[Benin Expedition]], during which the British soldiers massacred hundreds of civilians, captured the king and burned the capital city to the ground before annexing it into colonial Nigeria.

During the administration of [[Cecil Rhodes]], native South Africans were ethnically cleansed from their lands and several laws were passed that systematically barred blacks from the right to vote and control their lands. In Rhodesia, Nedbele women were commonly raped by white settlers and police officers.
