  Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere - LoveToKnow 1911
SIR HENRY BARTLE EDWARD FRERE (1815-1884), British administrator, born at Clydach in Brecknockshire, on the 29th of March 1815, was the son of Edward Frere, a member of an old east county family, and a nephew of John Hookham Frere, of Anti-Jacobin and Aristophanes fame.
Frere had borne no part in the actual annexation of the Transvaal, which was announced by Sir Theophilus Shepstone a few days after the high commissioner's arrival at Cape Town.
Upon his return Frere replied to the charges relating to his conduct respecting Afghanistan as well as South Africa, previously preferred in Gladstone's Midlothian speeches, and was preparing a fuller vindication when he died at Wimbledon from the effect of a severe chill on the 29th of May 1884.

Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (March 29, 1815 - May 29, 1884), British administrator, born at Clydach in Brecknockshire, was the son of Edward Frere, a member of an old east county family, and a nephew of John Hookham Frere, of Anti-Jacobin and Aristophanes fame.
Frere emerged successfully from a year of crisis, but the advantage was more than counterbalanced by the resignation of Lord Carnarvon early in 1878, at a time when Frere required the steadiest and most unflinching support.

 Zulu War
Sir Henry Bartle Frere was appointed High Commissioner for South Africa in 1877 with the express mission of forming a confederation among British Cape Colony and Natal and Boer Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
Frere came to the conclusion that the Zulu Nation stood in his way of successful confederation and further expansion and, without the consent of the British government, embarked on a series of programs aimed at bringing about its downfall.
He was puzzled by Frere's hostility to the Zulus and, before he was able to respond, events came to a head.

The aim of Sir Bartle Frere's mission [in 1872-3] was to get new and stricter treaties with the rulers of Zanzibar and Muscat to stop the slave trade.
The Special Envoy [Frere] was told to make it clear to His Highness [the Sultan] that the British government was extremely disappointed by the lack of action taken against slave traders under the existing treaty, and for that reason to demand a new treaty.
The matter was left in the hands of Sir John Kirk when the Envoy [Frere] left, the result being a Treaty signed in 1873 making it illegal to transport slaves by sea.

 Secrets of the Dead . Day of the Zulu | PBS
In the 1870s, spurred by a desire for trade and profit (diamonds were discovered in South Africa in the late 1860s), the British sought to bring the Zulu and other independent African nations, along with the Boer republics of South Africa (founded by Dutch, German, and French settlers of Cape Town), under their control.
In December 1878, Sir Henry Bartle Frere, the British High Commissioner in South Africa, issued an ultimatum to the Zulu ruler, Cetshwayo kaMpande, to disband his army and hand over control of his nation to a British representative.
This was probably what Bartle Frere expected and hoped for; if the Zulu could be forced to fight, the Brits thought, they'd quickly lose to the superior Imperial army.
