The Battle of Congella, beginning 23 May 1842, was between the British of the Cape colony and Voortrekkers or the Boer forces of the Natalia Republic. The Republic of Natalia sought an independent port of entry, free from British control and thus sought to conquer the Port Natal trading settlement which had been settled by mostly British merchants in modern-day KwaZulu-Natal. The battle ended in a British victory due to the heroic ride of Dick King for reinforcements.
Die Beleg van Congella was die beleëring van ‘n Britse troepemag deur die Voortrekkers onder Andries Pretorius in Port Natal in 1842. Dit was 'n insident in die Britse imperialisme in Suider-Afrika.
