Following the Anglo-Boer war, Natal's government decided to introduce a poll4ax to boost their depleted treasury. This move met with opposition from the Black community of the colony, resulting in sporadic violence. The militia were called in and suppressed these incidents with some degree of success. Then, in 1906, certain chiefs refused to pay this tax, and a minor but influential chief, Bhambatha Zondi, was forced by his izinduna to make a stand. The rebellion was eventually crushed in the battle of Mome Gorge.
