has abstract	In the Bulhoek massacre, a white police force from the Union of South Africa killed 163 Xhosa civilians. The massacre occurred on 24 May 1921, in the village of Ntabelanga in the Cape Province (today part of Eastern Cape). After a dispute over land in Ntabelanga, dating back to 1920, an 800-strong police force from the Union of South Africa led by Colonel Johan Davey and General Koos van der Venter gathered at Ingxingwa Ye Nkunzini, in the Bulhoek valley, and Ingxingwa ka Stivini, Steven's Valley. At the same time 500 men known as the "Israelites", armed with spears and knobkerries, and led by Enoch Mgijima, gathered in an open field, ready to defend their families and community. After failed final negotiations between the two parties, a battle ensued. The 20-minute battle, which left an estimated 163 Israelites dead, 129 wounded and 95 taken as prisoners, became known as the Bulhoek Massacre. (en) Le massacre de Bulhoek, qui s'est déroulé le 24 mai 1921 dans la ville du même nom du Cap-Oriental (en Afrique du Sud), est le résultat de l'affrontement entre la police de l'Union sud-africaine et des adeptes du prophète millénariste (en), fondateur de l'église « les Israélites » (inspirée d'un mouvement religieux d'Hébreux noirs américains). Dans une réserve réservée aux autochtones, 3 000 Israélites se sont installés dans ce qu'ils considéraient comme un lieu saint, pour y attendre la fin du monde imminente qu'avait prophétisé Enoch Mgijima, xhosa lui-même natif de Bulhoek. Après avoir constaté que celle-ci ne s'était pas réalisée, les adeptes décidèrent de rester sur place, en toute illégalité et malgré les injonctions de la police. Après que celle-ci eut fait plusieurs tentatives, de 1919 à 1921, pour les convaincre de partir, un dernier ultimatum est donné par le colonel Truter le 21 mai et finalement l'assaut est donné, le 24 mai 1921. Persuadé qu'ils étaient invulnérables aux balles, les membres de la secte résistent, armés seulement de couteaux, de casse-têtes traditionnels (knobkerry), de sagaies et de quelques armes à feu, tandis que la police est équipée de mitraillettes et d'artilleries. 163 Israélites sont tués et 129 blessés, alors que la police ne déplore qu'une victime dans ses rangs et un cheval. Enoch Mgijima est arrêté avec 140 de ses adeptes à la suite de l'assaut, condamné à 6 ans de travaux forcés. Il est libéré en 1924 et meurt en 1929. (fr)
