What is The Closure of Toornberg and Hephzibah about?
The closure of the Toornberg and Hephzibah missions in 1817, ordered by Governor Lord Charles Somerset, was influenced by Boer farmers who feared repercussions for their mistreatment of the San people. Subsequent missions like Ramah and Konnah faced challenges and were eventually abandoned due to conflicts with local farmers and the Griquas. By the 1830s, the LMS efforts to evangelize the San had largely ended, with many San forced into servitude or fleeing to remote areas.
