⛰️ Oscarberg

The Oscarberg, called by the Zulus Shiyane, is the name given by the Reverend Otto Witt to a large hill 350 yards to the southeast of the two buildings which formed the trading post at the Battle of Rorke's Drift (1879). The post was established by the British in 1845, was sold to the Swedish Missionary Society in 1878, and renamed to "Oscarberg" after the reigning King Oscar II of Sweden.
