Let's face it, going to school isn't cheap. Moreso, you can learn almost anything online that you can learn in school. So is it worth it? How about for personal trainers? If it is worth it, for who and when? We're joined on MASScast 3 by Lauren Colenso-Semple who is nearly finished with her PhD. Not only does she share her valuable perspective, but she also reviews some interesting new research on women's rugby coaches, many of whom - despite holding a bachelor's or master's degree - don't see the value in staying up with research, and prefer to get continued education from social media. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the same coaches also have some shocking misconceptions about female physiology… For more MASS science-based content check out https://massresearchreview.com (en español https://revistamass.com/) 00:00 Welcoming Lauren back as a host of Iron Culture??!! 09:10 Continued education of coaches, trainers, and practitioners Nolan 2023 ‘There's a perfect way to do things, and there's a real way to do things': Attitudes, beliefs and practices of strength and conditioning coaches in elite international women's rugby union https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17479541231169371 27:37 Barriers to entry and incentivising continued education 56:54 Busting myths vs creating actionable content: evaluating the quality of information 1:07:07 The educational structure in the personal training industry and considerations for your career  1:21:15 Practical applications (education makes you a worse personal trainer!?) 1:34:40 Considering specific and specialised education to improve your practice 1:41:40 Closing statement and where to find Lauren Instagram @laurencs1 https://www.instagram.com/laurencs1/?igshid=NDk5N2NlZjQ=  ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lauren-Colenso-Semple

Training female clients often raises a lot of questions for coaches.   Do the training requirements for female clients differ from those of male clients? What about the menstrual cycle? Should that affect your decisions? Should we design female training programs differently because of it?  In this episode, Stuart teams up with Lauren Conselo-Semple to address these questions. They delve into the most recent research surrounding training strategies for female clients and athletes. If you need to get up to speed on the latest scientific insights on this subject, this episode is your perfect companion. Lauren unpacks her latest research examining the impact of hormonal fluctuations on muscle development and performance, and whether the research supports adjusting training to align with the menstrual cycle. Expect to learn about the variability of the menstrual cycle, whether women have a higher injury risk and if they should eat more protein at specific times during their cycle. This episode is a really comprehensive guide for understanding the current evidence on female physiology and its implications for exercise.

Maybe, just MAYBE you don't know enough about the MENSTRUAL cycle, female ♀️ physiology, as well as whether or not it influences training. 

Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we delve into the evidence-based approach to menstrual cycle training. Our guest today is Lauren, who has extensive experience in this field as a coach and researcher. Lauren holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and nutrition from the University of Buffalo, and a master's degree from the University of South Florida. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at McMaster University in Canada, under the guidance of Stu Phillips.In this episode, Lauren shares her insights on the topic of menstrual cycle training based on her PhD research. She talks about this from both a coach and a researcher experience, and talks about the limitations of current techniques used in the literature to determine menstrual cycle stage and how her research will contribute to a more robust evidence base that will determine whether the added complexity of menstrual phase training is necessary to understand more fully the female experience in training and performance.Overall, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the evidence-based approach to menstrual cycle training.Lauren is currently pursuing a PhD in Integrative Physiology at McMaster University. Her research focuses on the impact of exercise, nutrition, and hormones on skeletal muscle. Lauren has worked with hundreds of clients in person and online, including recreational lifters, moms-to-be, and aspiring powerlifters and physique athletesJust a reminder that the best way to support the podcast is to hit the subscribe button on your favourite podcast listening platform.

After a slight hiatus, Anabolic Radio is back!!.In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Lauren Colenso-Semple who is currently finishing up her PhD and has worked with the likes of @billcampbellphd @bradshoenfeld @andygalpin and now currently @stuphillips . We discussed all things related to women's physiology and hypertrophy in addition to her latest paper on Menstural Cycle, or Phase based training..I think the biggest take away from our discussion was in general- Often we like to turn to research to tell us how to structure our diet and training programs, and studies certainly can act as guidelines or starting points. We must remember, however, that in general, most research reports averages..Individual responses to exercise and diet can vary dramatically from one person to the next; averages don't provide us with this information..This is why I always preach- learning through experience and trail and error will be the foundation for which you can fast track your own progression..All of this suggests that you need to consider how you respond individually to changes in training and diet in order to determine your optimal program design..Tune into the full discussion for a deeper dive- available on all streaming platforms.Thank you for your time Lauren!Support the show

We were joined by McMaster University PhD. candidate Lauren Colenso-Semple who is studying the influence of exercise, nutrition, and hormones on skeletal muscle, specifically as they relate to the menstrual cycle. She has an extensive background not only in academia, having worked with a veritable “who's who” of exercise science researchers in her journey to her PhD studies, but she also is an experienced personal trainer. In this episode she helps us understand whether “menstrual-cycle phase based training” is truly based on firm evidence, or if in some cases, the popular guidance sometimes extends beyond what we currently know (and what makes sense from a physiological perspective). Make sure to tune in to learn what we do and don't know on this fascinating topic.

Rob Campbell is determined to create an environment where his team feels safe to be dangerous.  Now Head of Planning at Colenso and used to be a session guitarist for some of the World's most well-known, terrible pop stars. He's lived and worked all over the world and led strategy across America, Europe, Asia and Australasia respectively. He's made famous work for NIKE, Spotify, IKEA, P&G, Converse, Chrysler & the rock band Metallica, won awards for everything from global Olympic ad campaigns to airport lounges and has an alumni of planners who now hold senior positions at Apple, Facebook, Reddit, Wieden+Kennedy, Mother, Uncommon, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation & Supreme. But the thing he's most proud of is being called an “asshole” by Dan Wieden, Richard Branson & Lars Ulrich.

Returning to Australia after 20 years offshore, former Mars, Wrigley and Coke marketer turned Lion brand chief Anubha Sahasrabuddhe thinks the beer category has lost its way. Now “Lion is on the hunt” for new growth – and it's looking beyond beer. The plan is to ditch tired tropes and brand positions that Sahasrabuddhe thinks are no longer reflective of Australian society – and harness the diversity and personalisation that craft beer has so successfully tapped. But Sahasrabuddhe isn't about to throw out Lion's heritage – and she's no woke washer, blasting cancel culture for taking the fun out of beer ads, and pretty much everything else. Ironically, she's aiming to be more New Zealand in Lion's bid to better represent Australia, in that the Kiwis and the likes of Colenso are “not afraid to take risks, because otherwise you just get wallpaper.” She also tips her hat to rival CUB's “tough decisions” in prioritising Great Northern over waning brands like VB. And for putting “chicks in ads – with clothes.” This one is refreshing.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The African Farmers’ Organisation of South Africa says it is concerned about the way government is dealing with land reform. This comes after at least one black farmer, Ivan Cloete was kicked off the Colenso farm in Darling, his third state farm to be taken away by the authorities.

The Anglo – Zulu wars, a clash between the might of the British Empire with the African Zulu Kingdom, began in 1879.In 1874, Sir Henry Bartle Frere was appointed High Commissioner for Southern Africa. His mission was to bring the various African kingdoms, tribal areas, and Boer Republics together under British rule, modelled after the policy which brought the various states within Canada together under one political and military control. He was opposed by several forces, mainly the various independent Boer states, and the Zulu Kingdom, with its vast army.In order to bring the region and its tribes together under as part of the British Empire, Frere decided to go to war with the Zulu Kingdom. Working on his own, without the backing of his government, Frere issued an ultimatum to the Zulu King Cetshwayo on 11 December 1878. The demands proved impossible to comply with, and war was declared. The British forces, led by Lord Chelmsford, invaded Zululand. Many battles ensued, including a stunning Zulu victory at Isandlwana, and the near-collapse of the garrison at Rorke's Drift. However, in the end, the British were triumphant. The Zulu Nation would no longer be independent.The podcast is under an hour, brief but informative and the history hit you are looking for.Please review!

So its December 1901 Christmas is a fortnight away for the combatants and Christiaan de Wet was tracking his arch enemy, brother Piet. It was revenge he was after and as we all know – it's a meal best eaten cold and unfortunately Christiaan was overheating. While he stewed on the information that his hated brother was instrumental in setting up the National Scouts, made up of Boer turncoats who now fought for the British, across the world the end of 1901 brought with it a number of fascinating events, incidents and issues. On December 1st : A crowd of 100,000 people turned out at London's Hyde Park to demonstrate in sympathy for recently fired British Army General Redvers Buller. He was now being blamed for the disasters at Colenso and Spioen Kop almost two years previously where the Boers had pulverised the British as they tried to relieve the siege of Ladysmith. But on matters more prosaic. On the 2nd December 1901 a man by the name of King C Gillette began selling his safety razors in the United States. He was inspired by something that could be used and then thrown away, thus ensuring future business. It's a bit like Monsanto's seed business these days, but that's another story. Gillette applied for his US. Patent number 775 134 on December 2 1901. His American Safety Razor Company would become the multi-billion dollar behemoth Gillette Company. Bizarrely Following the commercial success of disposable razors, Gillette refocussed his attention on promoting his views on utopian socialism. Strange but true. On December 3rd 1901 the Australian parliament passed its Immigration Restriction Act primarily to restrict non-Europeans from permanently entering the country. Interesting. Then on December 7 1901 The United Kingdom and Germany delivered an ultimatum to the government of Venezuela, after the South American country reneged on bond payments. Venezuelan President Cipriano Castro was given 48 hours to agree to the terms, or to face a blockade of his nation's ports by the Royal Navy and the German Navy. Well some things never change. On December 9 1901 the first-ever Nobel Prizes were announced, with x-ray discoverer Wilhelm Roentgen receiving the first Nobel Prize in Physics, Emil von Behring being awarded the prize in medicine for his discovery of the first diphtheria antitoxin, Jacobus van't Hoff pioneering work in physical chemistry earning him the chemistry prize, Henry Dunant and Frédéric Passy sharing the peace prize, and Sully Prudhomme winning the prize in literature. The bestowal of the prizes came on the fifth anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel who I mentioned in Episode 1 of this podcast series. The next day December 10 Joseph W. Jones was granted U.S. Patent No. 688,739 for his invention, "Production of sound-records", which was purchased immediately by the Columbia Phonograph Company for production of its disc-shaped Graphophone records. Jones was paid $25,000 – worth around 700 000 dollars in today's moolah. Finally in this series of amazing things that happened in December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic radio signal, sent 1,700 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England to Signal Hill, St. John's in Newfoundland in Canada on the 12th. December. It was the letter "S" ("..." in Morse code)., He is quoted as saying "there was no doubt that the principle of wireless communication had arrived on a transatlantic scale... This was a utility, and would prove itself beyond argument as a vital aid to shipping and military communication." And on the same momentous day, 12th December in South Africa's Cape Colony, Lieutenant General French finally caught up to General Pieter H. Kritzinger, who had led the Boer incursions into the Cape on three occasion. Unfortunately for him, it was three strikes and he was out.

Toby has been ECD at Colenso, DDB NZ, DDB Sydney, RKCR Y&R London and now Saatchis New Zealand. We talk about his criss-crossing across hemispheres, his early meetings with advertising legends Dave Trott and Paul Ardern, and I learn never to leave the microphone on when I go for a loo break.

It's time for reflection - and to talk about General Louis Botha who's invasion into Natal fizzled out leading to his commando being forced to flee Lord Kitchener's columns back to the Eastern Transvaal. But all is not lost for the man who would one day become South Africa's first Prime Minister. It's the final days of October 1901 when he returns to his base roving the veld somewhere between Ermelo and the Swaziland border. It's a region dominated by rolling grassy undulating hills, then high mountains further eastwards closer to Swaziland, as the landscape breaks up into dolomite fractures where whole armies lurk. The Boers have learned to keep well away from the Swaziland border where the chiefs have been palavering with the British. Back to Botha in a moment. First, let's take a look at what was happening in Britain, where the war had dragged on for long enough for the tabloid press to begin a sharp campaign against General Buller. He had been replaced in South Africa by Lord Roberts, who himself had been replaced by Lord Kitchener. Buller was pilloried in newspapers through October 1901, particularly by the Times and the Spectator. “On Thursday Sir Redvers Buller, presiding at a luncheon given by the Queen's Westminster volunteers” a Spectator editorial opined under the headline, The Mistake of General Buller. “made a speech in which we believe that the nation will find the best possible justification for the declarations which we and others have made that Sir Redvers Buller is not a fit and proper person to be entrusted with the great and responsible duties involved in the command of the First Army Corps…” Wait, it gets worse. “…We would fain say no more about the speech, for it is one which can only be fairly described as pathetic in its weakness and inconsequence..” Thats not all folks .. “…unfortunately it is impossible for us to pass it over, for it must be urged upon public notice as one of the reasons which oblige us to continue our protests against the recent appointment to the First Army Corps..” We can safely assume that the Editors do not consider Buller a great leader of men - although his men who fought with him in Natal would disagree. The reality of his meandering about and his blithe incompetence as he meandered about trying to lift the siege of Ladysmith - not to mention to terrible battles of Spion Kop, Dundee, Colenso and others where he'd been defeated by a much smaller army of Boers had sullied his name.

In this illuminating episode Fredrik discusses with Dominic Colenso the vital components required for successful communication and pitching across a range of business contexts. The important elements for successful pitching and communication are all discussed enabling us all to understand how to successfully approach these vital aspects of business. Dominic Colenso – is the founder of Inflow Global a specialist communication training company working with businesses to help their people speak and perform under pressure, focusing on all aspects of verbal and non-verbal communication. KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication - How do you work with other people? A starting premise is always that everyone has the ability to communicate, we’re doing it all the time and we’re doing it in lots of different scenarios. Working with people on heightening their awareness and understanding how they’re coming across in different situations means they have more choice. When people understand what range, they have available to them they can dial things up, and certain things down depending on the context they are in. How do you really connect with a person? Putting spotlight on the audience, who you’re talking to and what their needs are and making sure you meet those needs are the key aims to be met. Communication is the transfer of energy between 2 or more human beings and when you’re the person driving the communication it’s your responsibility to take care of your audience and give to them what they need. Pitching – How can you get it right? It’s important to understand what are your hot buttons, what are the triggers? Be completely honest with yourself is there certain behaviour in other people that makes you tense? or are there patterns? e.g. in the way the room is set up. Rationalising the triggers enables you to be better mentally prepared. Preparation is the only way to bring those words to life. Rehearsing is absolutely vital this doesn’t mean you need to learn script it’s about understanding what your key messages are then saying them out loud as many ways as possible so when you’re in the situation your body knows what to do. The key is to make eye contact, be available to people in the room. Its important to make an impact when you enter room and you should move into the space with your head up and making eye contact. Start with something different and own the space. Engaging the audience and creating that equal relationship is vital. If you’re going in asking for money or investment then they are interviewing you, but you are also interviewing them there is a balance of power. If you go in and give it all away the end results and end relationship can be disastrous. The ‘call to action’ is a vital component, you need to be clear about what the next steps are, you’ve got to agree some way of moving forward – be upfront and ask. BEST MOMENTS “You have a responsibility to take your audience on that journey”. “There is always a balance –it’s your duty to try and understand.”  “Some people bring light to the room some people bring darkness” “In the realm of pitching – how do I influence and inspire other people?” “We begin to breathe in a way that helps pump adrenalin quicker, moving us to flight or fight mode.” “I like the whole idea of being an influencer, to be someone that gives so people are attracted to you that’s a massive thing in today’s society.” “Crazy thing is most of us we had it, we dared to do things then stuff happened and made boundaries for our whole life.” “I am always looking to open up dialogue to give the client or audience as much space as possible to tell me what they need, then I can tailor my offering to meet their needs.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Fredrik Sandvall, Invest in You: https://itunes.apple.com/pk/podcast/invest-in-you/id1353355236?mt=2 ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

We're going to ride with the French Colonel or "Die Franse Kolonel", Georges Villebois-Mareuil as he heads into the Free State with the International Legion. This episode is slightly longer than usual because the details of this Frenchman are so intriguing. We will also be introduced to some of the International soldiers who fought for the Boers, including artist Vincent Van Gogh's brother, Cor. He's already been living in the Transvaal building locomotives for the President Paul Kruger's government, and when war breaks out, naturally he signed up to fight for the Boers. The French Colonel Villebois-Mareuil, a man steeped in family military tradition, had arrived in South Africa soon after the war began in October 1899 and had travelled to Ladysmith in November. He was present at the battle of Colenso, and by January 1900 was well known to the Boer soldiers as he began to advise General Piet Joubert. This was a sensitive matter as Joubert brooked no interference, but at one point the Frenchman had suggested an attack on two British outposts that were critical for the defence of the besieged town. These were observation points known as Caesars Camp and Waggon Hill and they required attacking at night. On 2nd January General Joubert held a war council at his hooflaer or HQ above Ladysmith and it was finally decided to launch an attack on the town, preceded by the taking of Caesars Camp and Waggon Hill. On 5th January the Boers began to move - little knowing that fate was against them. One of the better organised British commanders, Colonel Hamilton, was in command at Caesars Camp and Waggon hill. Also, Sir George White, the Ladysmith commander, had issued orders for the various guns there to be moved out on to the plateau - dealing the Boers a blow before the battle started because the hustle and bustle of artillery moving around meant the British were very wide awake.

Mercurial Boer commander Christiaan de Wet has just avoided being captured along with Free State President Andries Steyn at the brutal "small" battle at Bothaville. The Boers lost 25 killed and 130 captured. Another 30 were wounded. De Wet also was forced to abandon four Krupps field guns, a pom pom, and two artillery pieces captured from the British at the battles of Colenso and Sannah's Post. British losses were also serious: 38 men either wounded or killed in action. But now it's time to direct our gaze back to the east of Pretoria, where the 14 year-old school girl Freda Schlosberg's family had suffered the effects of the climate in the lowlands near Rhenosterkop. Her story was being repeated over and over as the civilians caught in this war tried to rebuild their lives once the conventional war ended and the insurgency began. She and her mother, father and a brother had been prevented by the Boers from leaving Rhenosterkop for their small holding near Pretoria at a town called Bronkhorstspruit. They had applied for a permit to move from the Boer General Erasmus in early October and it was now a month later and they were still refused permission to travel home. But there was to be good news for the family. In the North Eastern Transvaal, the Canadians and Australians in particular had been busy since mid October. To these men it seemed as though the solemn annexation ceremonies in Pretoria and the departure of some of their colleagues only seemed to encourage the Boer commandos to renew their offensive. Lord Roberts and Kitchener or Bobs and K as they were known, had ordered the scorched earth policy to begin in earnest. And the man charged with scorching the Eastern Transvaal area of Belfast and driving Boer women and children from their homes was the much admired General Smith-Dorrien. He was highly regarded by the Royal Canadians because of his active service throughout the war. An icy rain was to dent his image somewhat as we find out in this podcast.

It's the end of September 1900, an already the Spring rains have come to parts of Southern Africa. It's a time when the dull dusty winter air is cleared by these first thunderstorms which flush the atmosphere clear and people awaken after a night of flashing lightning and growling thunder to blue skies and moderate temperatures. Generally the wind falls at this time of year, birds return from their winter vacation, the veld turns from a khaki and mustard brown or yellow to a tinge of green. The planting begins, farmers have a new glint in their eye as hope and climate prevail positively. It's also the phase in the war where General Louis Botha has left the Eastern Transvaal with over two thousand men in order to begin the Guerilla campaign, while further to the West, General De Wet and de la Rey are cantering across the spring veld trying to mobilise a new army. The freezing highveld changes miraculously into a verdent landscape dotted with wetland - an oasis oozing life while around these pools both livestock and wildlife fatten once more. While this is happening, over five hundred international troops prepared to leave South Africa after surrendering. More than one hundred Irishmen for example board a vessel, defeated but not cowed - many of these men will use their military experience in a coming clash with the English back home. Before then he has some important family business to take care of. He must visit the grave of his only son, Freddie, who died at the Battle of Colenso. However, things were worsening for our schoolgirl, Freda Schloshberg and her family who were living not far to the south east of Pretoria at a place called Rhenosterkop, or Rhino hill, but who were under the control of the Boers. So much for Lord Roberts' assertion that the Transvaal was now a British dominion. Hundreds of kilometers to the South West, the bane of the British in South Africa had plans of his own. General Christiaan de Wet had not been idle. He'd turned himself into a one-person Boer draft officer and was riding from farm to farm in the Orange Free State cajoling men in order to shame them into rejoining the war. But he faced an ethical dilemma. Many of these men had sworn an oath of neutrality after they'd surrendered to the British. General De Wet, a man of honour himself, had to find a way in which he could ensure the men could break their oath and remain diginified.

This episode will focus on Australia - their troops had already had a major impact on the war particularly as they joined the Canadians in the relief of Mafikeng. When the Anglo-Boer war broke out in October 1899 most corners of the empire were convinced these handful of Boers would be brought under control within a few weeks. However, it was black week in December 1899 that shook the empire and its commonwealth. Remember those battles - Colenso, Stormberg and Magersfontein. After this, in Australia for instance, speakers toured the towns particularly in the South East of the country promoting the imperial cause and the demonisation of the Boers in the regional press was complete by February 1900. They were now “treacherous savages” who fired on hospitals, convoys of the wounded, women and children; they poisoned water, used dum dum bullets, buried their own critically wounded and robbed the dead. Membership of what were known as rifle clubs jumped after Black Week,where mainly urban Australians rediscovered their roots by training in the use of rifles. New clubs were formed, including some formed by women. But were the rifle clubs capable of defending their ownb colony in the event of an invasion? Apparently not, according to Yackandandah's Councillor Beatty. In February 1900, he called for the establishment of units of Mounted Rifles or Rangers in every town and district. Although he had no criticism to make of the rifle clubs, he claimed, he believed that they would be virtually useless in the face of an invasion. It of course was not entirely clear who would be invading but the war in South Africa had applied Australian minds. Councillor Beatty had a son in uniform in South Africa and he reflected a long-standing demand in the region for local defence units that could defend both hearth and home. Beatty's call sparked a number of public meetings across the region supporting his call for the establishment of Mounted Rifle or Ranger units. The government's response, however, was cool. While this was the official reaction, in small towns across Australia contingents of men began to show up for assessment in order to be shipped off to the Anglo-Boer war — along with their horses.

Padlangs - MpumalangaSoos wat 'n mens op die N4-hoofweg oos ry, is dit onmoontlik om die monument net buite Belfast te sien. Dit is die Berg-en-Dal-monument waar die laaste konvensionele slag van die Anglo-Boereoorlog (1899-1902) plaasgevind het. Eensgesind bespreek die storie agter hierdie monument in hierdie episode van Padlangs.Van 21 tot die 27 Augustus 1900 het die Boerekommando’s onder generaal Louis Botha hul verdedigingsposisies gekies om die magtige Britse Ryk vir die laaste keer in ʼn konvensionele geveg uit te daag. Digby die dorpie Belfast moes generaal Botha president Paul Kruger beskerm wat by Waterval-Onder geskuil het. Indien Botha en sy kommando’s deur die Britse magte oorweldig word, sou Kruger nie genoeg tyd hê om weg te kom nie. Indien generaal Botha die Britse magte by Berg-en-Dal kon stuit, sou dit dalk moontlik wees om die Britse magte te herinner dat hulle onwelkom is, dat hulle moet padgee en die Boererepubliek van Transvaal erken as ʼn onafhanklike staat. Alles was op die spel.Die uiteinde? Luister na Emile en Johan se gesprek oor hierdie slag wat nie juis so bekend is soos ander gevegte by Colenso, Magersfontein of Spioenkop nie. Berg-en-Dal was die Boererepubliek se Thermopylae en die Britse magte was die Persiese mag wat die kans gehad het om elke Boerekommando op die slagveld te vernietig. Die ZARPS, die voormalige ZAR se polisiemag, is hier uitgeroei en daarom is dit nie verbasend dat hulle in die monument, wat deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Oorlogsgraftekommissie in die 1970's opgerig is, herbegrawe is nie. Hierdie monument is nie net ʼn slagveldmonument nie maar ook een van Suid-Afrika se polisiemonumente. Dit is wel nie die enigste een op die slagveld nie.

It has emerged that the taxi shooting near Colenso in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands relates to taxi wars in the areas of Matimatolo and Ngulwane which have been ongoing for years. 11 people were killed while returning from a funeral of a taxi boss who is said to have been constantly on the run because he feared for his life. 4 people were injured and two were unharmed. Most of those killed were drivers whose owners were affiliated to the Ivory Park Taxi Association operating in Gauteng. The association's chairman, Johannes Mkhonza has told our reporter Ditaba Tsotetsi that the ambush was a case of mistaken identity.

National Police Commissioner - General Khehla Sithole - has given a team of top investigators 72 hours to trace and arrest killers of eleven men in Colenso, in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands. The eleven deceased and six survivors belonged to the Ivory Park Taxi Association in Midrand, Johannesburg. They were on their way back to Johannesburg after attending a colleague's funeral at Matimatolo, in KwaZulu-Natal,when unknown gunmen ambushed and killed them using automatic rifles. The appointed task team will work under the command of KwaZulu-Natal Acting Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Mluleki Mntungwa who is the spokesperson for KwaZulu Natal Community Safety MEC Mxolisi Kaunda and Chief Strategic Manager at the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO), Bafana Magagula

Eleven people have reportedly been shot dead on the R74 near Colenso in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. It's believed they were all taxi drivers who were apparently ambushed while returning from the funeral of a taxi boss at Matimatolo. The taxi boss was allegedly shot dead in Johannesburg last week.

After the last few weeks of skop skiet and donder - which means kick, shoot and beating (In Afrikaans) - we're shifting our gaze back to the Western Reaches of South Africa, back towards the Cape and Kimberley. There are many subtleties at play here which we must address. General Redvers Buller has been demoted as Commander in Chief of the British Army Corps in South Africa, and his replacement Lord Roberts has already arrived in Cape Town. The original British plan was to drive a large army straight up the centre of South Africa northwards towards Pretoria, driving the Boers before this grand force. It was Buller who changed his mind in November and split the force in order to attempt to relieve 13000 men trapped in Ladysmith. The result had been catastrophic for his army as they were defeated in two big battles at Colenso in December and at Spion Kop in January. Now Lord Roberts' 40 000 strong force begins it march northwards.

The last six weeks have been a short sharp shock for our British friends who've visited the veld and the semi-desert in the Northern Cape and the green hills of Natal. Things have moved apace since war was declared on October 10th. It's Christmas 1899 and across South Africa, few people are feeling festive. In the South West, Methuen has been held up as he tried to race to Kimberley to relieve the siege and where the arch imperialist Cecil John Rhodes is residing, demanding a saviour rescue him. In Natal, a disaster befell the British at Colenso with over 1 thousand 130 casualties as Sir Redvers Buller tried to reach Ladysmith where 13 000 British soldiers were holed up - besieged. That led to Buller being fired as the commander in chief of forces in South Africa. Lord Roberts who was in Ireland was assigned the job of leading the Army Corps after Buller's shambolic record and strategic blunders. Roberts, however, is still preparing to depart for Cape Town and there's still time for Buller to create mischief and so he does as we'll see next week with the terrible battle of Spion kop. If ever the word “carnage” summed up a singular event, its Spion Kop. But before we hear about Spion Kop our focus must shift this week into Ladysmith itself, where the small town on a railway line between the port of Durban and Johannesburg has become a strategic imperative. General Piet Joubert the Boer commander had surrounded the town and then betted on General White eventually surrendering without too deadly a clash. He was wrong. The British were not going to make the same mistake they made in 1881 after they were defeated at Majuba. This time they wanted the Boers to surrender in utter defeat whatever the human cost to both sides.

It's December 1899 and the British have already registered 3 000 casualties in various battles across South Africa. The latest we heard about was the Battle of Colenso on 15th December in Natal where the British casualty rate topped 1 130 with over 700 wounded and the result cost Commander in Chief General Buller his job . These are numbers that alarmed the public and the government back in London. The Boers had been perceived as a shambolic rabble ripe for the plucking, the gold bugs who owned the mines and financed the gold diggings back in Johannesburg had propagated and pushed for a war, now their brethren were paying the price in blood for their greed and their Imperialist aims. The Boers were no pushovers. In fact, in all major battles between October and December, they had consistently outfought and outthought the British across the country in different environments.

So here we are, the battle of Colenso, December 15th 1899. Four Victoria Crosses were awarded in this clash but it also led to defeat for the British who stumbled repeatedly under the command of their beloved yet faulty Sir Redvers Buller. The Boers, although victorious, began to appreciate the true fire power their opponents possessed. It's also a battle that led to the death of a Field Marshall's son Freddie Roberts. The end of the battle saw the stretcher bearers called "bodysnatchers" which included Mahatma Gandhi. Queen Victoria's beloved grandson was wounded in this battle which was incredibly one-sided where the British lost over 1137 casualties, the Boers, around 38.

We heard last week how General Methuen had been roundly defeated at the battle of Magersfontein in the Northern Cape and had withdrawn his force back to the Modder River. North east across South Africa and in the province of Natal, the commander of the British troops Sir Redvers Buller was preparing to face his own sword of damocles. The second terrible battle of black week was about to break upon the shores of the British Empire Colenso. And Mahatma Gandhi makes an appearance.

Our view shifts to the Western reaches of South Africa - the south western to be specific. Last week we watched how Winston Churchill as captured at Chieverly south of Colenso on the main line to Ladysmith where the wretched 13 000 British troops were surrounded by Boers. That was near the mighty Tugela River. Now we're near the Orange River, the longest in South Africa. It lies North of Cape Town between the port and Kimberley. The decision had been taken for the British Army Corp central group to push on over the river and towards Kimberley where Cecil John Rhodes had been telegraphing almost daily that the city was soon to be overrun by Boers.
