Applicants came not only from the Transvaal but also from the Orange Free State and even from Cape Colony. The Govern- ment of the Transvaal issued a proclamation which forbade the burghers to join the Kaffirs. But some of them refused to obey the proclamation, renounced their burgher rights and reported themselves to the Kaffir captains. Later, the Government sent Gen- eral Joubert to the western frontier to demand once more the return of those burghers who had ignored the proclamation. The Ro...yal Commission of 1881 had deprived the Republic of the power of direct in- terference in the quarrels of the Kaffir chiefs. The volunteers firmly refused to return. Meanwhile, the chief Calveyn had also rebelled, in the Marico dis- trict, but submitted immediately upon General Jou- bert's threatening him with a commando. Massouw and Moshette, with the assistance of their volunteers, completely defeated their respective opponents. The volunteers were not all Boers. There were a good many Englishmen amongst them.
