Edward Port.
"These South African mountain roads are really tough to traverse, and even the British Army in Cape Town is not completely without means to resist," Merk said to his subordinates.
As East Africa's military advances, the southern military district has already penetrated the eastern hinterland of Cape Town, but is affected by the Drakensberg Mountains. Besides the rugged terrain, the rivers and swamps have greatly hindered East Africa's progress.
Moreover, the British Army can effectively utilize the advantage of the narrow terrain to obstruct the offensive of the East African Defense Army. Edward Port is approximately 150 kilometers in a straight line from Durban.
This area was originally the territory of East Griqualand, also one of the Boer-established regimes, wedged between Natal Colony and Cape Colony. In the late 1870s and early 1880s, it was occupied by the British Army.
