Koegas atrocities information


Cartoon by the reactionary Lantern newspaper, depicting the political fall-out of the Koegas affair. The Liberal leaders are portrayed as jocular scoundrels attacking the upright Attorney General T. Upington.

The Koegas atrocities or Koegas affair (1878–80) was a notorious murder case in the Cape Colony, which led to deep political divisions and a follow-up campaign, due to the perceived racial bias of the country's Attorney General. It culminated in libel suits, filed by the government against several liberal leaders and news outlets.
