The Bloedrivier Monument, also known as the Blood River Monument, is located near Dundee in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It commemorates the Battle of Blood River (Bloedrivier) fought on 16 December 1838 between the Voortrekkers (Dutch-speaking settlers) and the Zulu Kingdom under King Dingane. The battle resulted in a decisive Voortrekker victory, with an estimated 3,000 Zulu warriors killed, while the Voortrekkers suffered no fatalities. The site is marked by a bronze ox-wagon monument, erected in 1947, and a replica of the original laager (wagon circle) used during the battle. The name 'Blood River' derives from the Ncome River, which was said to have run red with the blood of the slain Zulu warriors. The battle is historically significant as it solidified Voortrekker control over the region and is commemorated annually on the Day of the Vow (now the Day of Reconciliation) in South Africa.
