UNDESERVEDLY SO, CONSIDERING THAT THE BOER WAR WAS ESSENTIALLY ABOUT MONEY AND NOT, AS OFTEN ASSERTED, ABOUT THE FRUSTRATED POLITICAL AMBITIONS OF THE POSSE OF TREASURE HUNTERS AND GOLD DIGGERS THAT HAD SWOOPED DOWN ONTO BOER SOIL WITH THE SOLE OBJECTIVE OF SQUEEZING A QUICK BUCK FROM ITS FABULOUS MINERAL WEALTH.
