Latest South African dispatches describe the fall of Bergendal, a key Boer stronghold, enabling General Buller to seize the ridge and forcing Boer forces to retreat toward rough positions beyond Kruger’s mountain retreat at Pilgrim’s Rest. Lord Roberts notes Boer resistance collapsing as British forces advance from Bleadfontein with French directing operations.
Report recounts General Buller with Inniskilling Fusiliers Rifle Brigade and Devonshire Regiment assaulting Boer lines at Dalmanutha. British forces shattered defenses on a rocky knoll, capturing commandants and repelling Boer counterfire while French and cavalry moved to secure ridges and advance toward Dalmanubtos north of Lydenburg.
The report details a council session noting the President's Allowance adjustments and funding for road drainage and civil works. It mentions figures for contracts, road improvements, and public notices, with emphasis on the Lake Reeve road rents, dairy matters, and municipal finances for 1968.
